A fight broke out in the audience during the opening credits of the film. A guy in the back threw a bag of popcorn onto some people sitting a few rows behind us. They then made their way to the back row to find the tosser. Words were exchanged, one SPIT IN THE OTHER ONES FACE (Who does that?) and they decided to take it outside. We stayed to watch the movie. Mistake. The fight was more of a "happening".

I wasn't expecting much at all, but I wasn't expecting the acting to be so horrendous. This is really a misstep on just about every single level imaginable. It isn't scary, the suicide scenes are all laughably hilarious, the dialogue is cringy, and the actual threat makes no sense at times. But hey, it's got a hot dog guy, Mark Wahlberg sings, a guy kills himself with a lawnmower... Good lord, PLEASE watch this movie. It's just laughable enough that it's entertaining.

An embarrassing, incompetent train wreck. Zooey Deschanel and Mark Wahlberg turn in two Razzie-worthy performances. This is seriously some of the worst acting and writing I think I've ever seen in a blockbuster film. "We can't just stand here as uninvolved observers!" is an actual line from the movie. Damn. Furthermore, the concept is very stupid, and the execution even worse. M. Night Shyamalan has ruined his career, this time for good.

A supposed thriller that at no point in its running time remotely approaches anything resembling tension or suspense. By the final 30 minutes you're just hoping it'll end soon so you can go have coffee and forget about the whole thing - which, thanks to a laughable plot, horrendous acting, coma-inducing pacing, and zero climax, is not that hard to do.

Wahlberg has the acting abilities of a rotten dead log (at least in this particular movie). Shyamalan's dialogue is so unnatural and awkward, you begin wondering if it's been written by a hermit who has been separated from all human contact for 80 years and hence has no idea of normal human interaction. The plot is full of holes, doesn't really go anywhere and does not offer anything except some pseudo-environmentalist crap. You are left dumbfounded by the sheer stupidity of this film.

Un divertissement tout juste regardable, l'ambiance est anxiogène, l'idée bien trouvée et provoque un sentiment de malaise mais qui ne s'accentue jamais vraiment. La tension passe au second plan quand les personnages se mettent à se livrer sur leurs problèmes conjugaux, si le magnifique Marky Mark fait ce qu'il peut pour donner un sens aux dialogues ridicules, Zooey Deschanel est niaise dans ce rôle d'épouse à peine intéressée par les événements. Et le livre reste ouvert, pas dans le bon sens.

Oh how the mighty have fallen - Heed my warning, M. Night Shyamalan's borderline self-spoofing "The Happening" is a conceptual train-wreck. It has a B-Horror/Sci-Fi premise that sounds thrilling on paper, unfortunately it's carried out like a lame made-for-TV Stephen King adaptation. (Don't get me wrong, I'm a big King fan, but you know the adaptations I speak of) This movie is just too damn sloppy to be taken serious as a message-film or as escapist homage to classic horror camp

I have an idea for M. Night's next supernatural thriller. It's titled "Possessed". The soul of a once promising Hollywood director is consumed by the undead spirit of Ed Wood. It's an autobiography.

Attempts to create and inhabit an unreal dream world, rather than convey any kind of "realism." The method is a cinematically unusual relation to space (extreme close-ups and long-distance shots), time (shorts jumps in time between scenes and even shots) and character. Unfortunately, it fizzles out rather than building to any dramatically satisfying conclusion. A misunderstood (but still only partially successful) experiment, pursuing a nightmare logic founded in various contemporary anxieties.

Imagine if you saw Signs and were treated to the horrible reveal 30 mins. in. You then watch as flying saucers cruise around ominously in the air never visibly doing anything just flying around. They are killing people somehow, you know that, but you never see how it just happens. Then they just leave because they feel like it.

Ultimately this movie was disappointing. The beginning draws you in, and the drama is intense and nail-biting. With a great start, the drama slowly diminishes and the ending is a letdown. The end leaves you confused as to what the plot was to begin with, and what had been solved if anything. Could've been better.

Arguably Shyamalan's worst. Whereas Lady in the Water previously held that spot for the sheer stupidity and halfassed nature of the plot, this trumps it. Not in plot stupidity, even though its NEARLY as stupid. But the acting is so terribly bad. I like Mark Whalberg. He must've been TRYING to act badly here. It was like he wasn't trying to act at all, but overcompensated for that by overemoting - badly. And I usually find Zooey Deschanel adorable, but she was awful too. So bad.Trees?

"There appears to be an event happening." No kidding. Wahlberg is clicking in full Nic Cage mode, with hilariously delayed reaction times to everything being said to him. Surely no film in history has (laughably) placed so much emphasis on mood rings. The first sign of contagion in this film is "strange speech" -- EVERYONE appears to be exhibiting it. By the end of it, you'll find yourself in the final stage: wanting to kill yourself. A disastrously funny film. Watch it like a train wreck.

A bizarre and awful film. Despite a somewhat clever initial premise, the whole thing lacks a hint of energy and the acting is atrocious. Mark Wahlberg, who arguably outperformed Jack Nicholson two years ago in The Departed, delivers all his lines like he's acting across from tennis balls on sticks. The much-hyped "R-rated" gore is weak as hell, and the only "scares" come from obnoxious soundtrack stingers. BAD MOVIE.

There are a few glimpses of Shyamalan's ability for constructing creepy scenes but overall this is plain laughable. Most of the film is as hopeless as the acting by Deschanel and Wahlberg (I gather that their naivë delivery was a directorial choice but that's hardly a solid excuse).

Not only is the plot complete nonsense, everything else about the film sucks as well, the acting, the pacing, the soundtrack, etc. If I didn't know better I'd say Shyamalan purposely combined the preachiness of Signs with the stupidity of Lady in The Water and added worse acting and a worthless ending so as leave no doubt about which of his movies is the worst.

Sorry, I am doomed to like every single Shyamalan's movie. I understand perfectly why the entire world is pissed off. People can't accept that the stupidity of The Happening on every level (except the technical one - perfect as always) is intentional. Which would not be an excuse if the message of the movie was "please, keep the planet clean and shiny after use, and in the mean time love each other". No, the message is different: "You deserve this [movie]!" You, the Transformers fanboys.

Honestly, not as bad as its reputation had led me to believe. But take into account that this certainly wasn't good, and I expected a piece of shit.

Got this just to see if it really was as bad as everyone's been saying. I really enjoyed all of M. Night's other movies (yes, even Lady in the Water and to a lesser extent, The Village), so I was hoping to find something good about The Happening that everyone was apparently missing. Well, there's really nothing there. The acting is horrible, the script is horrible (there's some incredibly awkward scenes), but most of all, there's absolutely no climax! All suspense with no payoff!

"Happening" has maybe a few moments, but Shyamalan loses all his signature touches, at least the ones that actually work. His most horrifying premise strains any credibility here because none of his characters or dialogue seem authentic. Wahlberg is terribly miscast, and Deschenel is awful as well. Cheap scares come here and there, but nothing that sticks with you like "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs." "The Happening," all too often hilarious, is one of the worst movies of the year.

One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. Mark Wahlberg's acting wasn't fit for a high school play. A lot of people have mentioned that the premise was interesting, but I found it to be so ludicrously impossible that I didn't even have that to enjoy. There are several recurring themes throughout the movie, but they're all handled without a hint of subtlety, grace, or profoundness. I'm genuinely overwhelmed at how un-enjoyable this movie was.

I didn't find it as mind-bendingly horrible as apparently all the rest of the internet does. I found the opening scenes to be quite creepy but after that I have to admit it does go downhill. I've enjoyed all of M. Night's films, even The Village and Lady in the Water, and this is quite honestly his worst. I thought Wahlberg did a good job and so did Leguizamo but Zooey Deschanel was absolutely horrible. You can certainly give this a miss, even if you do enjoy all of Shyamalan's other films.

Nothing about this movie appealed to me. From the weird misogynist stuff with Leguizamo and Deschanel, to the covert defense of intelligent-design-esque theories of nature, the plot failed to impress. The performances, especially Marky Mark's, were weak, but I blame poor characterizations more than bad acting. Overall, I got the impression that the actors did their best with a very flawed script, but even that wasn't enough to compensate for how terrible the movie was.

M. Night Shamylan returns to his horror roots in this Hitchcokian doomsday tale about a man and woman trying to reconnect with themselves and humanity. Despite a solid screenplay, Shamylan's direction can at times miss its mark and Mark Whalberg gives a confused performance. Shamylan's fantastic use of cinematography and staging overcomes its faults.

The Happening is really bad. The acting is bad, the writing is bad, the directing is bad. It's funny to think that Shyamalan was once called 'the next Spielberg.' He made 2 good movies and then became irrelevant. I'm also confused as to why this got an R rating. Almost every death in this movie is shown off screen. It's just completely unsatisfying and totally unrealistic. Fuck this.

I'm somewhere in the middle here. I have nothing against the story idea. The belief that nature would punish man for his sins is rooted in myths thousands of years old, and there's a tradition of wacky premises like this in B films (see: Monolith Monsters). It's the wooden dialogue and subsequent overacting that gets me. Never it is planted in my mind that these are real people I should care about it, and most of my disappointment in The Happening stems from that artificiality.

Oh man this film was downright terrible. At times I thought I popped the wrong disc into my DVD player and I thought I was watching a comedy film. It has horrendously misguided and made absolutely no attempt at making a statement. Unless M.

Les 5 premières minutes sont potables le reste est navrant. Je n'ai jamais aussi peu vu de tension dans un film de catastrophe, un exode de New York renversant ! A la limite un film à mater un dimanche soir avec des potes qui pestent

For a movie called The Happening, there is not much happening. For the most part, the acting is terrible and the direction is not much better. Wahlberg doesn't suit his role. There's a few creepy scenes but not enough. Good tension and interesting start quickly turn into an undeveloped storyline with a predictable ending.

Very funny bullshit with a real treat in Wahlberg's atrocious yet entertainingly hillarious performance.

This movie is epically bad. From Hot Dog Guy to chase scenes with wind, I think this one will gain some camp notoriety in the years to come.

The plot is quite silly and ends up being there just to guide the characters through a few different locations. The "twist" of an ending is something that will be figured out far before you should, and the acting, while funny, can't be called "good". It is still a fun film to watch, and I would at least recommend you to check it out if you see it for a cheap price, or if it comes on television one night. It likely won't be as good the second time, but give it at least one chance.

Despite the exciting beginning the movie turns out to be a huge disappointment. It's obvious that Shyamalan has wanted to tell us something with this but I totally missed the point or it was just weak. Interestingly cast Wahlberg should also stick with action flicks.

The idea itself is interesting, the acting is ok. The dialogues, unfortunately, are illegals. What the hell is happening here? The characters seem to be out of focus, confused. Meh...

Shyamalan tries to correct past mistakes, prove that he can write clever dialogue and make a twisted horror movie again. He tries a little too hard and just buries a deeper hole for himself. I'm not sure why it was filmed with the visual flair of a comedy. Mark Wahlberg seems to be knowingly parodying himself, which is actually fun to watch, but doesn't help the film's cause. I knew things were going to be bad when I read about Shyamalan's own self-proclaimed "return to form."

Any money you spend on this film and any time you spend watching it is money and time you will never get back from life itself. M. Night Shyamalan has disgraced his own name. This is a soap box Bible beating pulpit for environmentalism. Starts out so promising, ends with some of the worst scenes in Hollywood history. Wahlberg is ridiculously awful in this film. I felt embarrassed to watch it and felt "raped by badness" when I left the theater. This is my most hated movie of all time. A piece of-

Some of the premise is interesting, everything else is absolute trash. I've never been fond of Walberg but it's almost as if there's some hidden plot element that explains exactly how an actor could get every line of dialogue wrong. It's all beyond me.

The Happening really tries to be an old 50's or 60's style Sci-Fi movie. From the over acting to the perfectly framed moments that just scream old school sci-fi movie posters this movie is really trying hard to be something that it is not. The premise of this movie is great. I like that Shyamalan went after global warming in this movie but that doesn't make up for this being a pretty boring movie. I was expecting more suspense but mostly what I got was cliche. I would not watch this movie again.
