It’s a lame way to end a movie that had some promise. However, the twist at the end makes the film disappointing as the battle with the aliens is ruined when it’s discovered that the alien’s weakness is just the Earth’s water. The mystery surrounding the aliens makes this film enjoyable, despite some stiff dialogue and questionable performances from Gibson’s kids. The film sees Mel Gibson as a farmer who discovers mysterious symbols in his crop farm and begins to investigate what they mean. Signs begin strong, but the ending gets away from Shyamalan. Seriously, the mountains? That’s like trying to hold Aquaman prisoner in an aquarium. The most offensive scene to the source material is when the fire nation takes earth-benders prisoner in the mountains. There is also a clear apathy for the lore & world introduced in the show from Aang’s name being pronounced incorrectly to the cast being entirely white-washed. The acting is abysmal, the dialogue is hollow, and the air-bending action is incredibly boring. Not only is it a horrible adaptation of the series, but it’s just terrible in general. Some of the highlights involve a man with an odd obsession for hot dogs, Wahlberg talking to a plant, Zooey Deschanel staring blankly into your soul, and an old woman who asks Wahlberg if he’s trying to kill her to which he hilariously replies “What? No.” The Happening is a horror movie that unfortunately became one of the best comedy movies.īased on the beloved Nickelodeon animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, many refer to The Last Airbender as Shyamalan’s worst movie. With cheesy dialogue, random mood changes, and crazy overacting. Other than that, The Happening is unintentionally hilarious. The issue is that footage of plants & trees blowing in the wind isn’t scary. The Happening has a somewhat enticing premise with a climate-revenge story where the killer is hidden. A group led by Mark Wahlberg then begins to try and flee from this unknown entity before it catches them. When people around the world begin killing themselves, people discover something in the air is causing this phenomenon. The Happening introduced one of horror’s most anti-climactic villains: wind. He’s a director who has his own unique vision, but when that vision goes too far, things get weird. The Sixth Sense & Unbreakable were amazing starts to his career, but huge flops like The Last Airbender & The Happening has made Shyamalan wildly inconsistent in terms of quality.
Shyamalan has had one of the most fascinating careers in Hollywood to follow.
