Movie Review: Seven Pounds  

I have watched this movie some time ago. This movie is attractive for me because it is starring by Will Smith. Since I really like his movie The Pursue of Happiness, so I think this must be a good new movie of Will Smith. But I have to say that this movie let me down at the beginning. As you said, it's very slow and I didn't understand. I felt bored to it. I finally understood it at the end of movie. Hard to believe it. The ending is out of expectation. You have to be patient to finish it and you will understand this movie well.

I love China

I didn't find it slow or boring at all. It was beautifully written; very deep. I actually enjoyed it. I wouldn't have done what he did, but he had his reasons. I think the guilt was overwhelming and he couldn't get past it, not so much that he couldn't get over the loss of his wife. Maybe at first it was that way but once he found that girl, the one who needed the heart, he genuinely fell in love with her. I believe it was his love for her that finalized his decision to commit suicide because she had absolutely no other chance to live, she was dying and there was no hope of a compatable heart for her. I found it sad yet touching at the same time. It was much deeper than atonement and guilt and missing his wife, it went beyond that once he met the girl.

I really didn't like the movie because to sum it all up, it's about a guy that's so upset about a car accident he caused that he killed himself! Very morbid.

lol =D Another movie weekend.. hehe ^_^ Actually, i had meant to watch this movie when it just released, but i chose not to as i have something else better to watch instead.. haha =D

BUt after reading your review, compared to the trailer i seen on tv, it's so completely different as trailer does not reveal the actual plot.. lol =D NOw that i know it, i should have watch it instead because it's a completely different twist from what most ple expected.. haha =D

Good one there ^_^

I loved Will Smith in the movie.. but I didn't like the fact that from the beginning I knew how was going to end I prefer movies in which it keeps me wondering what it't next..

Actually, I enjoyed this movie alot. I agree with you it was well, written, there was the opening scene, that I did think they could have done differently, but all in all it was done tastefully, and nice. You realize his pain and what he is trying to do, pretty quickly, at least for me. I would recomend this film.

I have seen it as well, and although it is not exactly my favorite kind of movie, I ended watching in one setting. Like you I don't condone suicide even in a glorified way as you call it, but the story was well told and one can in a way sympathize with what he is going trough and how he is making is decisions. Do I agree with the decisions? Not necessarily, but I still can appreciate the movie even though like you I find it kind of slow and touching a subject that can be uncomfortable.

Thank goodness Will Smith has jumped onto the societal issue of text messaging while driving. People, don't do it. An hour and forty five minutes is not enough time for this cause. Personally, I wanted to throw away my cell phone after the movie. I was glad to see other people in the theater saw the message and dumped their phones with the empty bags of popcorn. I decided to disable all text messaging on my phone and would encourage others to do the same. If you care about your family, make them watch this vital Public Service Announcement on text messaging while driving or they could kill seven people. Thanks for showing us the way.
