Amazing Movie, another Masterpiece act by Will S

Yes, its truly amazing movie! starts off slow but eventually it hits you towards the end! He well plans his actions. Sit back, watch the movie and follow the flow. Very touching. Its also a painful lessons for his carelessness. The movie also brings out a true point about life. One who has an advantage of good life dont know how to use it well or appreciate it and the one who dont yearns for it so much from the narration of the heart patient whats she yearns for....very moving...

Will Smith's Most Disappointing

What I loved most: The powerful ending

What I really hated: The draggy first-half

Everyone knows if Will Smith is in a movie, that movie must be great! Seven Pounds, on the other hand, is kind of... draggy. Perhaps the worst Will Smith movie in a long time. While the ending is the most memorable part of the movie, the rest is plain boring. There's no explanation at all what does 'Seven Pounds' mean although its referenced in the very end. Heart-breaking and destructive, I must say. Although it fails to become a tear-jerker.

Stupidity Disguised As Art

What I loved most: Rosario Dawson!

What I really hated: Huge Gaps in logic

Rosario Dawson, lovely even when drabbed down, is the highlight for me. Will Smith mopes around the entire time, perhaps depressed over how stupid the plot developments are, and how each revelation makes even less sense than the previous. In a bid to disguise this, director tries to swathe everything in artsy-looking visuals and non-linear storytelling, but the effort is in vain. I'll try not to give any spoilers for those still insistent on watching this, but the biggest gap in logic involves a sex scene with a woman who- a) Cannot even run because she has a weak heart b) Is on the Most Urgent Priority List for a heart transplant c) Has shortness of breath even after mild exertion like operating some machinery c) Would probably drop dead during foreplay d) But miraculously survives a passionate lovemaking session - and doesn't even show any signs of physical distress Other moments of idiocy abound, some of which you take at face value while watching, but wonder about once the movie ends, but this one really takes the cake.

Wait for DVD

What I loved most: Predictability

What I really hated: Booorriiinngg

Making a sad movie doen't means it is a good movie. It glamourises suicide, Firstly, cornea transplant do not need a perfect match. Jellyfish cannot kill a man. Many loopholes, after the movie. Not at all sad to me.
