Bummer...I just saw that it was out and wondered if it was any good. What didn't you like about it?

Story is slow and very cryptic from A to B. I love a good thriller/mystery but this movie just didn't live up to the hype for me at all. I wasn't interested enough in the storyline so it was just painful to watch. You have to wait to until the end to know the reason why and by that time I had no interest in the characters to care really. I hate movies that don't envoke emotion in me.
 
Really? It was hands-down, my favorite movie I've seen in a long time, for me! I loved the intricate story line and the subtlety. I loved that I was able to figure out what was going on about 2/3 of the way through but that I was able to still have surprises at the end. I loved the raw emotion and the complex characters.

I know what it's like to be disappointed by a movie, though, and that stinks! Sorry about that!
 
it's one of the best movies i've ever seen. EVER. will smiths performance blew me the frick away. i had goosebumps the ENTIRE time.
 
LOL, never even heard of it. No big surprise since I've only been to maybe 3 or 4 movies since Rachel was born, and they've all involved talking vegetables or animals.
 
I've been wanting to see it. Guess since it's got such mixed reviews, I'll have to find out for myself! HAHAAHA!!!

After 10 mins I had the movie figured out, DH hates how I figure out the plots so quickly. This movie just bored me to tears, sorry for those of you that liked it.

I know- since half are saying it's great & half are saying it's bad, I've gotta see it for myself now!!!! But I'll probably wait until it comes out on video & rent it, so if I'm disappointed, I'd only have spent a few dollars on it! :p

Thanks for the input ladies! ;)
 
I'm really on the fence about it. On one hand - its AMAZING.. but on the other hand it goes against things I personally believe in so I'm just not sure. I'd love to say more but I don't want to give away any spoilers because part of the movie is just that it keeps you wondering.

oh yea.. and i have to become kristin again.. drats. LOL
 
oh deary....it's sad??? oh man..... :( I don't do well with sad movies.....I end up a wreck for days.....I am watching it anyways though, cause Will is da bomb!!!
 
WOW! I can't imagine Will Smith doing a bad movie. I have it on my netflix and cant wait to see it. Sorry you didn't like it.
 
I heard pretty good things about it today at work. They said it was said.. but a must see

I'm not a big Will Smith fan either... so I'm doubting I'll see it anyway
 
We just watched this Saturday night and I thought it was just a plain bad movie. The story itself, while completely improbable, was not a bad one, I just hated how it was told. I agree that I didn't care a bit about any of the characters because of that. DH agreed.
 
Im a huge Will fan and LOVE this movie, total tear jerker but it stayed with me for days after and I know its something I will watch again and again.
 
I had to go rent Seven Pounds last night, and OMG. It was so tragic and beautiful, and I think it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Two thumbs up, for sure!:thumbup:

Watching Bedtimes Stories right now. :)
