Movie Review: Seven Pounds
April 29, 2009 8:37 am Movies, TV and MusicI guess you have to be careful seeing a movie when you’ve really never heard much about it. I thought that I had heard someone tell me that it was a good movie, but now I’m wondering who said that cause I have to disagree!
So the basic idea behind the site is that Will Smith’s character has obviously gone through something tramatic, but they don’t say what of course until the very end. You do get pretty obvious hints here and there though. So he has been doing all sorts of nice things for people, but you can also tell that he hates himself and is suicidal.
I guess what bothers me most was the whole premise…it’s just kinda weird. So he causes a tragedy, and to make up for it kills himself to donate organs? Yeah, not really the uplifting movie I might have been hoping for!
So unless you want to be depressed, I don’t recommend this one.

I didn’t quite like this movie, although the main actor is Will Smith! The whole movie seen so depressive and repressive to me. It’s probably the worse movie that I’ve ever saw.
Rating: 4/10 (Sorry, Will Smith but I just don’t like the story at all!)

You should have asked me about it before you saw it. I thought it was incredibly well done, acting, the directing, the scoring, the editing was all top notch, as I have come to expect with any Will Smith movie. I think it’s just the storyline that sucked on this one. I agree though, not the cool uplifting film I was hoping for.

Complete wastage of time.

Hate depressing movies like this. I will take your recommendation and NOT see this movie. I doubt it’s more depressing than The New World (2005) though.

[Reply]

thanks dude
[Reply]
i love this one
[Reply]
I’m usually a big Will Smith fan, but I really didn’t like this movie.
[Reply]
Seven Pounds is the most predictable, obvious, watching-paint-dry movie that has ever made me cry. My issue is not with sentiment, it’s with the fact that EVERYTHING is revealed in the first 30-45 minutes or so (if you choose to pay attention). The story is dependent on the structure because the linear version would be vile. I cried and I don’t regret it, but it’s two hours of emotional manipulation.

Good movie , i am WILL SMITH fan too..

I heard he kills himself at the end by getting in a bathtub with electric eels. I think that’s really all you need to know to tell you this is a good movie to AVOID. Also, I just spoiled it for you so now you don’t need to see it.
[Reply]
I dont know why some of you think this is a depressing movie, i loved it, its kinda slow, but a really nice story and meaning. Not a everyday movie to watch, but i enjoyed it. Will smith always puts on a good show.
[Reply]
Nice article, thanks.
looking forward to read something new and great from you.
Best regards.

I loved this movie so much, I watched it 3 times, but I think He made a mistake, after a few years his life would go back to normal, and it’s crazy the jelly fish is do deadly.
[Reply]
I saw it too. This movie really sucks!
[Reply]
For this reason, I NEVER take movie recommendations from others. I watch the trailer, and if I think it looks good, I’ll go see it. I have never seen a good film which was a recommendation from someone else. Ever.
[Reply]
great movie but very tragic and sad…
[Reply]
This movie was an award breaking phenomena. To a number of people they might not understand its true meaning cause you probably have to be really cracked out to understand the true essence on which the movie has been built upon. While watching movie it is treated as an entertainment but on our part we should make some contribution of looking at it further from just an entertainment. Look into the mind of the director and producer who were filming the movie… Peak into the writers’ mind to understand the turmoils he was passing through… There is more to movies than to just sit down with a large bowl of popcorn and a Coke and munch away. A times if looked closely these ingenious people are almost telling their own life stories. Similarly with seven pounds to some it might be categorized as a disturbing notion of the crew team. But in reality this can be related to any one us. If we have a traumatic event happen to us how would be regenerate and recognize that the life living now is a joke on us?

Is anyone else sick of Will Smith? I use to like him, but he got straight over-exposed. That said, this movies was surprisingly good.
[Reply]
Yes, I watched the movie. I liked it but it was strange. Makes you really think about things. Interesting way to die too!
[Reply]
Sad movie, loved the part about blocking the IRS though!
[Reply]
Well, you can look deeper if you want to, but this movie is twisted!
[Reply]
I liked the jelly fish! now that was creative!
[Reply]
thank you ^_^
[Reply]
I thought this movie was going to be a feel good movie,too. I also found it completely depressing. I guess you have to be careful of crafty marketing!
[Reply]
I liked it. Sad but with good message. One of those movies that stay with you for some time after you watch them.
[Reply]
This was a very very good movie!!
[Reply]
Thanks for the warning, about the movie “Seven Pounds.”
Just as I like writing to be creative and colorful, I’d rather watch movies that either had a lot of action, drama, or at least an interesting plot as opposed to some depressing load of dung.
I’ll steer clear from this one, so thanks again.
[Reply]
I suppose the movie is so depressing, it makes your own humdrum life seem rather better.
[Reply]
This movie did evoke a few tears. I still think it is a good movie, though. I love Will Smith as an actor, but this is definitely not one of his “funny” movies.
[Reply]
This movie made me cry too
[Reply]
Will Smith is a good actor. I follow all his movies.
[Reply]
I like 7 pounds. It was a hard one to watch, but I thought was very touching.
[Reply]
I love Will Smith so will watch anything with him in it. I thought it was a great movie, of course very sad, and the whole cinema sat quietly at the end just to take it all in. Whilst it was sad, it had some fun and heartwarming moments in it. If you want excitement and action this wont be for you, but if you want a good story that gets you thinking and pulls on the heart strings just a little you will like it.
[Reply]
Was wondering whether to see this or not. Thanks.

Nice Movie, Not Bad,

[Reply]
tell me that it was a good movie, but now I’m wondering who said that cause I have to disagree
[Reply]
Yes, it is a nice Article,very good information about it.. thanks a lot
[Reply]
But it seems like almost every year there is some sort of animal named disease that comes out that is going to be the next thing to wipe us out.
[Reply]
There normally are very few people who can write not so easy articles that creatively.
[Reply]
HELLO…Thanks for sharing info and news…it’s very useful for me indeed…best regards, Hendra agus
[Reply]
Seven Pounds is the most unsurprising, understandable, watching-paint-dry movie that seems really very nice. The story is reliant on the structure as the linear version would be despicable.

Part of me feels that in the long run this is probably a good thing, but then part of me also keeps wondering how much of this flu is
[Reply]
Part of me feels that in the long run this is probably a good thing, but then part of me also keeps wondering how much of this flu is mostly media hype.

This is my first time visiting here. I stumbled upon countless intriguing stuff within your weblog particularly the ongoing talk. From the tons of comments on your articles, I suppose I’m not the only person taking pleasure in reading your blog. Keep up the good work.
[Reply]
will Smith plays solid role on the movie. Is is kind of sad thing but so much to learn from it. A recommended movie to be watched by.
[Reply]
I got bored through it, so I haven’t finished watching the film. And now I’ve heard the storyline, means I’ll understand it better if there’s a next time I would want to try watching it.
[Reply]
