No, I did not like the film. It’s strictly a one-time watch (it seems longer than its 90 minutes. Ho hum.) and does not live up to all the hype. And please, it is not scary. In fact, there is perhaps one scene in the whole film that has some shock value. Maybe the Americans will freak out because they’re mostly stupid. Mark Wahlberg is a fine actor and puts in a good performance, but he alone cannot save The Happening from being an implausible, stupid, we-know-what’s-coming flick with the most predictable of endings. Shyamalan disappoints. He should stop making entire films based on a one-line premise. Watch it if you must. I hope it wins an award for the most overrated and disappointing film of the year.
