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.

LenaGardner · #4 04-02-2009, 11:04 AM

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!

lizzyfizzy · #5 04-02-2009, 11:05 AM

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.

pewtertm · #6 04-02-2009, 11:05 AM

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.

digideb · #7 04-02-2009, 11:14 AM

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!

Thanks for the input ladies!

KristinCB · #10 04-02-2009, 11:46 AM

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

Angela Spangler · #11 04-02-2009, 11:50 AM

I wanna see it. All Will Smith has to do is simply exist, and I'm there.

Really, I think he has done a lot of bad movies.

suze · #24 04-02-2009, 08:16 PM

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

crystalbella77 · #25 04-03-2009, 12:48 AM

I just finished watching this...bawled my freakin' eyes out. Still not fully recovered.....

Chels85 · #26 04-06-2009, 05:42 PM

i'm getting ready to watch it... has me curious bec heard many mixed reviews about it...

amandabarugh · #27 04-06-2009, 06:08 PM

I'm a Will Smith fan, as well. So, this one appeals to me.

Anyone seen Bedtime Stories?

maryinaz · #28 04-06-2009, 06:16 PM

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.

i know!!! it's sooo touching. i don't get how you can't walk away with no love for 7 pounds. i don't get it.

amanda...bedtime stories is adorable!!

amandabarugh · #32 04-07-2009, 12:53 PM

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!

Watching Bedtimes Stories right now.
