"Wahlberg turns in one of his worst performances ever, but then he's saddled with preposterous scenes (like one where he tries to placate a ficus) and such lame lines as "Could this really be happening?" Funny, I was wondering the same thing myself."
"It's downright stupid."
"No one will watch any of Shyamalan's recent films twice. A movie that features Wahlberg suggesting everyone try to outrun the wind can barely be watched once."
"If this was the movie to rescue the reputation of self-styled genius Shyamalan after the disaster of Lady in the Water, then it's back to the old drawing board."

"...bad in more than just an everyday, sure-does-suck kind of way."
"The film becomes less comprehensible as it goes along, and the audience -- expecting a patented M. Night ending -- is left with no answers, explanation, or narrative closure."
"No mere actor could possibly escape the toxic dialogue oozing from M. Night's pen -- that's merciless."
"You feel like you're not watching the end of the world but the end of a career."

"Shyamalan's latest film is the first in a long time that I can't defend."
"M. Night Shyamalan has morphed from "the next Spielberg" to a punching bag for critics and audiences alike. The Happening reminds us why."
"The movie is a bummer, from beginning to end."
" If you have seen the trailers online or on T.V., you can just save your money and wait for the rental on this one. All of the best moments are in the promos."
"If what audiences are looking for is a thrill ride, or even a pervasive eeriness, The Happening's just not happening."

"The Happening quickly deteriorates into the worst movie of M. Night Shyamalan's career... and that's saying something."
"Nothing happens. Shyamalan has finally taken an ax to his Golden Goose."
"Bad and weird."
"one of the worst attempts at end-of-the-world ominousness since the Robot Holocaust battled the Ninja Apocalypse"
"Suicide bland."

Not to be negative
But why do we keep on giving money to this M Night bozo?
What a hobo....- with a cup for spare change and a sign that reads:7point34
- "studio execs killed my family. need money to make crappy movies to get back at them."7point34

Have any of the ne'erendingly clever critics referred to the film as "The Crappening?" Someone should.

I ban this and replace all tickets with The Fall. It is done.

The Pappening. A smear on cinemas everywhere.

"A patchy, uninspired eco-thriller whose R rating (a first for Shyamalan) looks more like a B.O. hindrance than an artistic boon."
"The screenplay is a mess, filled with unfunny moments of intended humor and funny moments of unintended humor."
"The whole solemn concoction is preposterous and not always in a fun way -- even at 99 minutes' running time, the movie provides plenty of opportunities for watch-consultation in the dark."
"Woeful clunker of a paranoid thriller."
"Feeble gust of an environmental horror story."

I hereby propose 'Gigli' to be worst film of all time. Its got Ben 'Donkey Face' Afleck and J.Lo-'est common denominator'. Whats not to hate. Oh, did I also mention that J Lo is a lesbian and Donkey Face converts her back to heterosexuality?
- that sounds powerful bad...but I don't know...this sounds worsemarychain
- Well i will reserve judgement until I see the happenin but Im confident of my choice. Mightily confident.ian
- Battlefield Earth was worse.thehouseshook
- Ben Affleck deserves to be punched in the face for some roles. Other times, he's OK, but usually those films are good too.Jaline
- J. Lo sucks in a lot of roles as well, but she was one of those 90s music artists that I can forgive (for certain things).Jaline
