It's OK, Jess, it's OK. At least we're not in the theater watching this. "We've sensed it. We've seen the signs. Now...It's Happening." That's not just the official tagline for The Happening , it's also a perfect summation of my expectations of M. Night Shyamalan's latest offering. I "sensed" it would be the uncontested worst film of the year, I saw the "signs" (simply his last movie, ...

Screamstress
If you plan to see the movie, please do not read this review beforehand. On my journey to see The Happening , I resigned myself to accepting the fact that I would not like the ending since I didn’t like the endings of Lady In The Water , or The Village, although I liked both movies. Also, when you lower the hype level, all sorts of magic happens.
From its ominous moving clouds ...

Oh No They Didn't!
‘The Happening’: The Movie That Could've Been SPOILERS, obviously The Happening just keeps on disappointing. Yes, M. Night Shyamalan's new movie is bad — but was it really the calamitous disaster that his millions of non-fans were hoping for? We were expecting critics to shred it en masse, but Roger Ebert and Manohla Dargis both let it off the hook (for the most part). And audiences ...

The Happening: 2.5/5 Stars
The Happening is the latest from director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense). I’ve enjoyed most of his past work (including Lady in the Water ). I wanted to see this without knowing too much about the film. So on Thursday afternoon I turned off my RSS feeder and pretty much avoided the Internet like a plague. Armed only with the knowledge of the ...

/Film
Were you one of the people who went to see M. Night Shyamalan ’s The Happening instead of The Incredible Hulk? I’d be interested to hear what you thought. Ebert may have given the movie three stars, but most American movie critics are throwing Rotten Tomatoes at the screen (only 20% fresh on the Tomatometer).

At The Movies - Film News and Reviews
When I went to see Iron Man at the weekend, an interesting trailer preceded the film, after all that is what trailers do. The Happening looks great on paper, with a class director in M. Night Shyamalan, a good cast, and an intriguing storyline. I left the cinema with my girlfriend adding The Happening to our ever increasing list of movies to see over the next few months.
However, ...
"The Happening" Is the Biggest Intelligent Design Movie of the Year [The Happening Review] —
io9
M. Night Shyamalan's critically-panned flick The Happening is Hollywood's first blockbuster to promote the anti-evolutionary theory of intelligent design. That's why it's weird that science journalists are jizzing all over its allegedly realistic plants-attack-humans plot. We talked to Shyamalan, though, and we know the truth: it's an homage to God. Maybe you thought Ben Stein's ill-fated ...

“M. Night Shyamalan’s latest movie, The Happening , is not merely bad. It is an astonishment, so idiotic in conception and inept in execution that, after seeing it, one almost wonders whether it was real or imagined. It’s the kind of movie you want to laugh about with friends, swapping favorite moments of inanity: ‘Do you remember the part when Mark Wahlberg … ...

The best part of going to see The Happening was getting to watch the X-Files movie trailer — which is way more chilling on the big screen than it is on YouTube. Can't wait for that one! As for M. Night Shyamalan's latest spookfest, well, as Alec Baldwin's character Bob Barrenger remarks after a car crash in State and Main , "So. . . That happened."
The movie has been getting poor reviews ...

Film School Rejects
Before I even start talking about The Happening , I have to preface this review by saying that if you aren’t a fan of M. Night Shyamalan , you will probably hate the movie. There are so many anti-Shyamalan people out there (especially on the Internet) that it makes the Boll bashers look tame.
However, if you like the guy’s stuff, you will probably enjoy the film.
I happen to be a big ...
