Christopher Nolan's vision is now complete. He has redefined how one should run a franchise: like any other great story this series of films has a beginning, a middle, and an end. There is now, with this film, closure for the fans, actors, director and everyone else involved. As for the film, it was visually breathtaking, well casted (I especially liked Tom Hardy and Joseph Levitt)(?sp), and extremely well acted (considering that this is, of course, a visual comic book). It's underlying commentary on the basics of human nature ( revenge, greed, loyalty, and ultimately the search we all have for inner peace - and how elusive that is, etc) was particularly compelling. I think I will see it again.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Okay. So, it doesn't have the amazing surprise ending of the Sixth Sense or the slowly buidly suspense of Signs. But, The Happening delivers. Talk about a creepy vehicle to climb into and ride around in for awhile. The show starts with a gut wrenching "event" that pushes one deep into the theater seat. It becomes obvious there is no way to stop watching. Then the tension ebbs but slowly builds back up and stays that way. The subplots are interesting and the acting is wonderfully subdued. These are common people trapped like fat rats in a maze. Mark Wahlberg's teacher is familiar to everyone who ever sat through highschool science class and eventually began to (secretly) like it. The old woman at the end is not for the faint of heart.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
