There's something everyone is missing, even Mr. Shyamalan. Despite the fact the plot sounds so strange (but not impossible if you read a little about what plants can do when they're in danger), and most people I've watched this movie with ended so shocked, this is a movie about love. Call me a complete fool, or idle, but for me this is the most romantic movie ever made. My point is, this is not a love-movie, but shows what love can do. And maybe this is what people are not seeing, that we need more love to get through these rough times. In the end, this is what love is all about: being confused, being mad, sad and happy. That's why love here seems so real! This is a great movie because it grows by itself.… Expand

I am a Shymalan Fan. But all of his movies do require one to see what was the thought behind the project. shyamalan is eeriely positive person. This is evident in 6th sense when the spirit redeems itself by helping the boy, unbreakable where Bruce is the positive force, Village where love wins, Lady in water where there is happy ending, signs where gibson returns back to faith and happening where love and belief wins over odds. I loved the happening movie He is brilliant where he leaves the audience thinking pondering and hungry for his next creation. His movies are 3D where the third dimension is thought.… Expand

Suprisingly creepy with a definite ecocide-in-reverse theme. The disdain with which bloggers treat M Nights films is a worry. No mainstream pulp director has ever received such scorn. Each and every film stimulated me intellectually and cinematically. In 20 years his films will be remembered and revisited again and again. Then witness the volte-face of the contempary critics who found his works to be egotistical. Methinks you do protest too much.… Collapse

I think this is a great movie!!! It just have to been seen! Dont listen to the 0 and 1 votes. If you dont watch this movie you have missed something!!!

I thought this movie had a decent plot with good acting. I think it brings up a good point about global warming.

An awesome concept ... algae bloom in a human affecting environment. Awesome movie for those that like something more than just your cut and dry Action/horror flick.

Funny, good dialogues, good level of suspense.

One of my best this 2008, I dont like fiction, superheroes tired me, this film in its whole concept is a new experience for me.

Fantastically good!, bad for lazy minds, it has a enjoyable ryhthm made with a unique style.

Not so bad, not so good !, but the rates of critics are not fair, for me Shyamalan's movies are full of originality.

I decided to be happy when I watched this fantastic film, it made me think about my planet, and now I love more forests and all our nature.

I saw it twice, I like it, a little thoughful but funny...scary.

Unforgettable, unique, not for all " kind of people ", stunning!.

It is not so commercial as many in theaters right now, but it had for me the most interesting and attractive script, after all I enjoyed every episode of The Twilight Zone.

M. Night is a genius, this age is not for him, I found some of its movies like this better than "Hitchcock" ones, in Usa is the opposite of Eastwood, sorry for this comparisons.

Interesting movie, good job in its genre where others shows they have minds empty of ideas.

It is in my top 5 this year, of the best of course !

Stunning with awesome moments, not so bad as many said.

Si es buena, no creo en lo que dicen los amarguetas, si te gusta el buen suspenso y el estilo único del director de El sexto sentido no debes dejar de verla, definitivamente el y sus peliculas son infravaloradas, basta ver los reviews que le dieron a sus mejores filmes como Sixth Sense y Señales "Signs" y verás el desdén que le tienen.

This is one of the big mistakes of the year !!...I can not believe it... but mistake made by the critics who don't know how forgive.

Oh really so bad?, no way guys!, All my friends and I enjoyed it !.

Nice in all aspects, we don't want this things happened never, but its only a movie, amused me.

I liked this movie, bad actings?, what are you talking about people?, simply there are no any excellent or amazing acting, but the movie for me was an interesting topic.

After seeing hundred's of movies of this kind of thriller-suspense I can say that this is not so bad, it is OK.

I don't care other reviews, this is one of my favorites motion pictures of the year.

One thing: I like it because after all the tragedies we saw, there is an ecological message, a warning about protect our planet.

I don't care what others say, I went to see it and I saw a fantastical and entertaining movie.

An incredible film that is not for all audiences, just for who really enjoy a suspense well done.

Great movie! It really makes you think about the ending! Mark Wahlberg is the perfect actor for the leading role of this movie!

We already have a lot of superheroes from comics and the like on the big screen, explosions, big bombs of exaggerations, come on!, for me Happening is a deep breath.

With creepy scenes, funny moments, nice views, good role of Marky, a good story, I could enjoy it.

One of the best this year, I hated the overrated Cloverfield where you only can hear not see, and this film Happening, so original is underrated, that's because in "Lady in the water" Shyamalan decided to kill only one character " the movie critic ", now they hate him more than never, it was just a movieee!, forgive him!

I always see all movies of suspense, and this one is better than the last 30 of it's genre, 'cause this is thriller! , isn't Mj ?

Hey! Not so good as Unbreakable or Sixth sense, but much better than Lady in the water, I like the script, the score, the reactions of its characters, good role of Mark W.

Yes I like it a lot, forgive me but is true, I enjoy it, and believe me I know about movies, each year I can guess who will win Oscars, of course this is not for any award, well, maybe its terrific score.

I wanted to give this a lower rating but I did enjoy and would watch it again. M. Night just has a way to improve a bunch of ideas. I did enjoy the concept of it though.

When the main character (s) have to run away from "the danger element" such as.. Apocalypto, turn the movie in one of my favorites.

No matter what others say about this, you must go to see it for yourself, critics are not perfect, me neither, the movie is good, you decide.

It is good, like birds of Hitchcock, yes! in a similar way, you can compare them. Maybe both are bad for you, for me are good enough.

There are movies for everyone, Walbergh here is good, well acted, simply he is not doing the same, not heroic acts, he shows another way of acting !, only the little girl has a irregular act. Well, nobody is looking for awards !.

I like movies like this, specially for being created by one man's mind. It has a message but only if you have an open mind you'll catch it.

I rather pay for this than pay for other hero doing tha same.

It's true, only 37 reviews make an universe?, the universe of the voters here is much bigger, this movie is better than Lady in the water, why less grades, 34? , are nuts critics?, Ruins and The Mist better than this original tale? Let me laugh.

They must to escape, there is something dangerous in the air, are they terrorist?, are we treating bad our planet?, could these things really happened?, many who saw this film said that this story is full of absurd moments and situations, I think they need to see to believe ( like that tsunami ), our behavior really have consequences. The movie is good, not excellent but you must decide for yourself, have your own criteria.… Expand

Completely agree with comment of " C Andersson ", see below... The critics of this page seem to hate Shyamalan, and they prefer to give better reviews to movies that always show the same again and again, like HULK or Transformers, that only want to get a lot amounts of money, giving us more of the same : special effects, explosions and stupid car chases, don't you get tired with the same?...and why you don't accept this flim so different/ singular/ unique... brilliant !.… Expand

For me it is an unnerving and astonishing thriller, and I'm sorry for who do not like it.

I hate bad reviews about a good movie, we all think different, E.U. already paid the movie cost, 60 M.D. so, if you go again and again to see a Shayamalan movie that's beacuse you like something in them, or no?. For me it has stunning moments.

For discussing any movie there are forums dear Ariana M., I just want to say that this movie has been my number 3 this first part of the year, only under Wall-e and Under the same moon.

Good enough in the genre of thrillers or suspense.

In a world of lack of ideas, Happening shines with many.

Stunning and not predictable, not so scary but it has excellent dialogues.

This review in this page is about the Sixth Sense : Reel Views by: James Berardinelli. An inferior product. It is not well written, well acted, or well directed. Now I say Je, je, je, the movie was nominated for 6 oscars including all these categories: the script, the actors and Direction...so?, the movie is good for many people ( Happening ), each one think whatever it wants, it won';t win any nom but who cares?, is only a movie !, Shyamalan is an excellent creator of them.… Expand

I can accept one thing, is original, and thats what I search in any movie.

Well done, well directed, this is the kind of movies I enjoy, sorry for others...you all can cry, an idea!, ask your money back, I will see it again.

Better is going to see movies with no expectations, so you don't lose the ability of get surprised. Relax and see more...hear more, find the details.

Its true, is not the best of Shyam. but I rather this, is honest, his work always is for you like it or not, I'm in the good side, my 10 is to elevate the rate, cause I think it doesn't deserves less than a 7.

Fantastic and singular since beginning to end, Is my kind of movie.

This movie is good and it has born to kill all the bad movies of horror or suspense this year.

Although it is not perfect, the movie can get you in hard road of entertainment.

To be in universal acclaim 37 critics made me think how small is their universe, Happening is made with a good part of brain giving us as product another magnificent scary movie. Our universe is bigger because we are hundreds of fans all around the planet, and we acclaimed it.

With singular style, a great movie is made.

Damn! I was missing this movie, so creative, so unique, so fantastic!

It supposes to be a bad movie, and I like it very much, thank you god for not to hear critics.

Simply one of the best in its genre.

It was spinning in my head for a entire week, and that only an unforgettable an good movie can get in me.

Not so good like Signs or Sixth Sense, but stop asking the same, the director never will do the same again, he doesn't repeat any topic or formula, only uses his own style, the movie is a clapping achievement.

The King of suspense is him, yes! the happening maybe is for insane people like me?, crazy for thinking different to critics?, anyway, the paranoid manufacturer gives us another peculiar movie.

I love this kind of movies, but many fails, the good suspense stories are written only by Stephen king or Mr. Shyamalan, ah and the Mexican Guillermo del toro, they are gold for me, Happening is fantastic.

A very cool movie, well a little scary, good enough but not so bad like critics want us to believe, no no, and for me is a 8.5 but I putted 9 'cause they are so cruel, and want to finish a career ( of who? ), but I dont think so, the production budget was 60 millions, and 15 days after date of release is 115 worldwide, and it goes for more.

Call me a stupid girl If you consider that I must not enjoy an excellent misterious-drama movie like this, but all my friends were agree with me that they saw something totally new and different.

Good story, cinematography, music, smart script, ideal for a disaster coming from us, no bees, not trees, we made it.

A genre that only exists because one man invented it : Shyamalan, others just will copy his ideas, Happening is beautiful in many aspects.

Another misunderstood movie, that works perfectly for who search more originality.

Another demonstration of powerful style, not the best but good, good.

My big surprise was the behavior and result of Spencer Breslin's character, the movie en general looks very very good !.

All my respect and admiration for who wrote 2 of my favorites scripts, The 6th sense and The Village, this is not so good, but like always he got surprises me with his creativity.

Always honest with his scripts, follow his feels and own ideas, that's why I like his movies, Happened again, has much brain, he writes, produce and directs, not many do all this, it doesn't matter how many of his old ( enemies ) friends of high school keep on voting here wishing him the worse, what so ugly is envy, dont you think?, the movie is brilliant.

The problem with many people is that they want another Sixth sense and its surprisingly final, I just wanna see a different film every time I go to theaters, if fantasy is absurd for you avoid cinemas 'cause the main ingredient in most of them is: fantasy. Good for me.

A stupid script and shallow performances?, Maybe who wrote that is a writer of fabulous and perfect scripts !, agree it is not perfect but has more virtues than mistakes, why so serious and borin'? I enjoyed the picture.

I can not be so cruel talking bad about the best mystery & suspense movie of the year. Even my children liked it.

Among commercial movies, more superheroes, remakes and tv series adaptations I rather some original script, public deserves originality and news.

The topic is treated well, is interesting, has lack of boring moments, is supremely entertaining.

It would be a classic for fans either for who really know how appreciate a good thriller, what an atmosphere of suspense!.

Boring?, for me was a little scary and funny, good levels of suspense, boring for those who want to see monsters or aliens cutting heads and arms, don't be so lazy, buy more candies or pop corn and maybe you'll have fun, for me that is unnecessary, I just wanted see more and more.

I could not help it, I really enjoy this psychological film, it has many reasons to belong in my collection.

Apparently is a horror movie, I could remember 3 of my classics in its development, Birds, Signs and The night of the living dead, fortunately there are no zombies.

It happened something weird, the first 100 reviews of users were before the date of release, where did they see it?, remember is less impact in piracy dvd's, just go to the theater and try to enjoy, for me is masterful!

The best Overseas in the boxoffice, Hulk in second place, only USA seems to hate it, relax my friends!.

Its trust it is an unapologetic B-movie, not perfect but much better than the 20 last thrillers I've seen.

Holley Joel Osment, Abigail Breslin, Bryce Dallas Howard and others were well known all around the world thanks to Night S. ...will happened one more time. ah, I like it very much, much much!.

This is a classy movie that not everyone will (or will be inclined to) appreciate.

We can find another type of actor : B. Willis, J. Phoenix, Mel Gibson, Now Mark W. in this picture thanks to its director, for me one of his 4 best pictures ( of 8 ).

Fantasy, surprises, no-zombie movie, better than many say, the green effect, is happening if u see the daily news you know this, is a reminder to protect our planet. Fantastic.

I can only feel negative vibrations from critics, but they must understand That M.N.Shy doesn't make movies for them, theyre just for common and thinking people, not for ordinary tiny critics.

When you hate a genre in a special way, you must no see em, for those who like think the suspense, Happening is an excellent option.

Agree with Chicago Sun Times : " too thoughtful for the summer action season, but I appreciate the quietly realistic way Shyamalan finds to tell a story about the possible death of man". But in my humble opinion it deserves more than a 75.

I'm glad for not obey critics or, I saw it yesterday and now I can say this peculiar film is one of my favorites for 2008.

Amazing in many aspects, but underrated by who hate it, how can u hate a movie?, it is just for entertainment, please!.
