No, it's just bad. Compare it to good musicals, and you'll see why.

Pfft, shush Ben. HSM is ****e.
Wow, I seem to have started the HSM is bad argument again. Lolz, it's basically like marmite, some love it and some peeps loathe it.
Anyways, went cinema earlier to see the film Push.
It was an ok film, it tried to have plot twists but failed to execute them well. The effects were ok but the Chinese screaming guys just annoyed me, I felt like chucking mouldy apples at them. So overall it was just a meh film, nothing special but it wasn't bad either.
Rating: 2/5 (loses one star for having Dakota Fanning in it)

There will be blood - WTF? What on earth is this movie about? What is going on? I just can't quite grasp it.
DDL is superb, but everything was just kind of random. Mood swings, story jumps, times, characters appearing. I felt like I was stoned and bits kept on passing me by while I slept. Really odd film.
And then The Mist Shamefully, I enjoyed it. I thought the creatures were a bit rubbish, and the end was a little too obvious (though if it had ended any other way, I'd have felt cheated). It needed to have stopped just a bit earlier though so that you let it sink in over the credits, rather than letting it drag as much as it did.
The camera work was worse than Raybould at times too... It works if you do it all the way through, but the times it was shaky just looked slack, rather than adding anything. Cheese value wasn't quite balanced enough either. It was an enjoyable film though (in the context of the usual piss poor King horrors).

^The ending of The Mist made me laugh even though it's really sad. 
I thought it was going to be cheesy and crap at the start as the blood looked fake and the acting was crap. But when that religious woman started going crazy it started to get better, but like you said dragged on a bit until they decided to do something about it.

I actually quite enjoyed it. It's a bit annoying how after half an hour all the characters who you thought were the main bunch were killed, and then the movie started again.
Although, not a bad film, 7/10.
