These Film Villains SUCK!

So some film villains aspire for world domination, some as we've just seen aspire for wealth, and others....well they just want to watch the world burn.... These are !*$% plants.

I remember the exact moment in the cinema that I knew The Happening was going to be my favourite banter movie of all time, and that's when Mark Whalberg started inferring that plants were indeed the reason why people were committing suicide, and no one in the films universe stopped him to say "are you looking to be sectioned mate?"

The film takes it so seriously as well, and it's not like some Petey Piranah Plant from Super Mario which would legitimately be terrifying, but unseen pollen that just hits like a dose full of bath salts and gives us some of the most unintentionally hilarious deaths ever.

Like don't get me wrong some of the moments like the row of hanging people, that's pretty chilling, but a man getting his arms ripped off by a goddam tiger while looking like he's sitting through a lecture about paint drying or a bloke taking a snooze in front of a lawn mower is so absolutely ridiculous.

And in all honesty when you boil it down, the trees actually succeed in their plan. They kill off a tonne of humans, leaving them free from being cut down, and it simply dissapears without any resolution. In this respect they are the PERFECT villains....it's just a shame they're bloody plants!

Seriously it makes everyone in this movie look so stupid because while this unseen and unknown threat is terrifying, it's only as good as the actors who expalin it to the movie. It's up to them to make it real. And it's here that we remember this was one of Marky Marks most criticised roles ever and that it was written with all the usual grace of an M. Night script aka it's so on the nose is bloody breaks it.
