http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/26/THE-MIST-Sabrinas-Rant.aspx You know, I had high hopes for this film.  I actually said out loud, “How bad can it be?”  Terrible.  It wasn’t that the storyline sucked or the acting was bad.  It was just entirely too long.  Ever watch a movie where you start to self edit it about halfway though thinking to yourself, “Uh, this scene is entirely unnecessary.”  This two hour flick could easily have been cut down to about an hour.  I hate to admit that because I sort of thought I would enjoy Thomas Jane on the silver screen for that long, but about an hour into it I kept praying the movie would hurry up and end so I could use the bathroom. Artist David Drayton’s (Thomas Jane) upper east coast house is ravaged during a storm.  The morning after he takes his son, Billy (Nathan Gamble) and his crappy, know-it-all neighbor, Brent Norton (Andre Braugher) into town to pick up supplies to fix the mess the storm made.  Once they get to the town grocery store a giant mist covers the city.  A useless member of the community runs into the store screaming that the MIST has sucked up another stupid town member.  AHHH, REAL MONSTERS!  At first no one believes that there’re things creeping in the mist, but the bag boy gets sucked into the stupid mist by a giant tentacled monster and people have to start using their noggins. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/26/THE-MIST-Sabrinas-Rant.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/26/THE-MIST-Sabrinas-Rant.aspx#2494 why do all the critics disappoint me lately? needs50 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/26/THE-MIST-Sabrinas-Rant.aspx#2494 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 14:03:36 GMT
