ljs Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 This is the movie staring Will Smith. I watched it last night, but will have to watch it again. It might seem a bit slow, but it's a good movie imo. Just curious if anyone else has seen it, opinions. I recall it getting a lot of press when it first came out, but never really heard much after that. Will Smith is one of my favorite actors. He can play any role, from comedy to action to this dramatic piece. Link to the trailer http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2170028057/ I don't want to say too much for those of you who haven't seen it. It's nearly 2 hrs long, but if you like Will Smith, appreciate good acting and good dramatic movies...two thumbs up. (it's def not a chick flick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Okay, I'll be the Debbie Downer here...I didn't like the movie. It was just too unrealistic to connect with. That's not how things work in real life in regards to what Smith did. I guess if something's supposed to be realistic, I want it to be completely realistic. I also thought it was kind of predictable. Like, you knew what he was going to do halfway through the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 i didnt know what he was doing until about 20 minutes before the ending..my girl didnt either and we are pretty good at figuring movies out. we thought he was just ****ing with everyone..

Califan007 The Constipated Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I really liked it as well, and didn't think I would... You kind of know what's gonna happen after the first 5 minutes, though lol...but the movie doesn't exactly try and fool you, it's almost as if it shows its hand to the audience. However, I will say that I didn't quite get exactly how and why everything happened the way it did until like the last 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 By the way, why was it called "Seven Pounds", does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Usually when a movie is below 30 rotten tomatoes, I shy away. This is a tempting watch, but I think i will trust the tomato meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 By the way, why was it called "Seven Pounds", does anyone know? isnt it because thats how much the human head weighs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 isnt it because thats how much the human head weighs? LoL...I think the human head weighs either 5.5 pounds or 8 pounds, at least according to that kid in "Jerry Maguire". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It was a good movie but too depressing for me; don't think I'll ever watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Defense Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 ok, but way too slow develping, and tips its hand half way through so the "climax" is anticlimactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinz4Life12 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i'm going to continue my trend of bumping movie threads. i saw this one last night as well. i thought it was really good and was very moving. it really made me appreciate the life i live and what i take for granted every day. i couldn't imagine living with congenital heart disease like rosario dawson's character at such a young age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
