      @@jauntx the Way people are talking about "Patience" in the movie and that the character was dumb for making a hasty suicide decision is fucking beyond me.
      Like. We shouldn't even be having this conversation.
      Everyone literally saw what happens to anyone who steps into the mist.
      His son even said "Don't let the monsters get me."
      Seriously, in a world that's this bleak and hopeless, and everything around you in said mist is already dead and decaying?
      How the hell is he gonna know there's back up coming?
      Everyone had committed suicide, the ones that haven't died by monster attacks, radios are out, phones are down, the power is out.
      A lot of things for a single man to comprehend.
      The fact that he even chooses to die the worst possible death ever, instead of the people who were with him was fucking heroic.
      And that's what's painful about the scene, not his mistake, it was his desire and his love to protect those around him, that he made very wrongly.
      This movie is pure gold.

      @@Steve-yn3cs My issue with it is a similar issue I have with Shawshank (although Shawshank ending ticked me off more. Fantastic movie until the end) in that both written stories finished open-ended. Shawshank just let you decide if Red found Andy or not, but movie audiences (mostly the Americans) almost always need that Hollywood happy ending so desperately that they had to show it. Insulting. Mist movie ending was opposite of that but what I loved about the written story's ending is there was no resolution. The fate of the world was left in question, while in the movie the world seems to be saved. Yes, what happens with our protagonist is shocking and tragic, but in comparison, still far less bleak and hopeless. He may not have gotten a happy ending in the movie, but the world still did.

      @@jauntx Not really. I disagree. The soldiers are "trying" to handle the mist from the looks of it. And I don't think they ever can, or things can ever go back to the way it was.
      Did you see the freaking behemoth of a monster that was briefly shown? Do you know how many those things there could possibly be?
      The military guy said that this monster dimension has merged completely with the human world.
      That means they'd continue to fight until they can somehow make the dimensional creatures extinct(good luck in fighting an enemy you know absolutely nothing about).
      That's no hint of a happy ending to me. That's just a military convoy burning some parts of the mist in where they are.
      For all we know, the Mist could have covered the entire world.
      Despite giving the "hint", that the soldiers are trying to handle the issue, it doesn't effectively conclude that everything is fixed.
      And it stops there, leaving the main character with his mistake, and pain surrounding it.
      Still bleak to me. I get what you mean, but I don't agree with you, that scene is just one scene, you can't use that to suppose the military are somehow handling this.

      I thought the ending totally ruined it, to be honest. If the film had simply ended with the main character shooting everyone, and then wandering off into the mist, in tears, ready to be eaten alive for killing his own son, that would have been a fitting ending to a pretty hopeless movie. But the army showing up at the end, along with several of the people who left the store early on still being alive... just ruined it for me. Like, are you kidding me with that crap?! That was my reaction in the theatre. I still don't like that resolution to this day!

      @@jacob4920 Dude killed his son and the people he formed a strong bond with in the short span of a day, then probably an hour later it turned out he wouldn’t had to take such extremely EXTREMELY painful decisions had they waited or even decided to leave later than they actually did. Then finding out the first woman who left the store to look for her kid is alive with WITH HER OWN KID. You can see the main character screaming in pure agony and sorrow and stuck with what he had to go through AND DO playing in his mind over and over again. The ending is extremely scarring for a human being to go through such thing like this. I think the ending elevated the plot at least 10x.

      I've watched N&S for ages now, and enjoy their reactions, but every once in a while, they miss the target (mainly movies iirc). I understand everyone has different reactions and thoughts and opinions, but this was a bit far off, definitely not as bad as they made out (there are films 100x worse in the horror/sci-fi genres). For instance, The Mist TV series was the epitome of terrible script and production!!
      The film had a $18million budget, and made $57million, so reasonable to good box office.
      Also it wasn't Aragog (I know it was a joke!!), that creature is called The Behemoth.
      The black and white Darabont version feels much scarier.

    Blimey, this has to be the strangest reaction to The Mist that I've ever seen! Plus it should have been seen in the original Black and White, as the director intended and was released on disc.
    The fact that scientists open a portal to an alien planet, unaware of the ecosystem present, and then when all it's wildlife comes roaming out just simply doing it's natural thing but now on Earth, we assume that they're the monsters. When the truth is, we're the monsters, the evil of human nature comes flooding out from people in the store, in less than 24 hours, that's the horror.
    And in the end, for a parent faced with what appears to be the end of the World and an inevitable grisly fate, makes the ultimate decision to save his Son from that, and leave himself to face the horrors outside, only to have it turned upside down at the last moment, having to live with the consequences of his actions. As a Father that last scene tears me apart every time.

    The movie is a human nature horror film more so than a sci fi horror film. The special effects weren't great but in all fairness I didn't think the monsters were scary. The people were the scariest part. I love it because like what 28 Days Later and TWD the first few seasons did was show you in a post apocalyptic setting the threat isn't the monsters or zombies, its people.

      Im pretty sure that Frank Darabont wanted to have the film done in black and white, both as an artistic choice (throwback to the 50s and 60s horror movies and how blinding fog is in black-and-white) and to work with the budget he was given--special effects, especially CGI, always look better in monochrome, but the studio didn't think it would sell as well and forced them to use color, which had the added effect of making the cgi a bit wonky.

    This movie was meant to be a black and white creature feature (much like what the Lighthouse actually accomplished) which is a big reason that the special effects do not hold up. The studio basically forced Frank Darabont to release it in color. I will agree with some of the complaints about the acting and some of the dated dialogue. That said, the twist broke me when I first saw it. Sad you guys didn't like it but I understand it.

    • @CharmingNewSociety

      It's a shame really that the black and white version has never been available to stream online, only on the DVD extra disc. It basically means almost no one doing a reaction video to it is watching the true version of the film, and hence are in the wrong frame of mind viewing it.

      @johnnyskinwalker4095 Před 2 lety +1

      That's cool because when watching it I thought "you know it would have been far stronger if it was in black and white and we would not seen the monsters" cause imagination is always more horrifying than bad CGIs. And cause it had a sort of Twilight Zone/Outer Limits vibe. Back in the day they had great skills at telling low budget 40 minutes horror/scifi shows in a small set. I think it would have worked better this way.

      @@johnnyskinwalker4095 The CGI actually looks way better in the b&w version as well. Basically, Darabont shot it in color because of the studio, but everything from the lighting to the CGI rendering was designed for black and white (as he was still hoping to persuade them). That's why the color version looks so bad.

  • @justarandomveryintelligent8934

I think you guys were kinda mean spirited about this one on occasion even if that wasnt intended (and i really dont think you intended that kind of tone) and i think thats why some people are butthurt.

  • @Cham82
    @Cham82 Před 2 lety +133

    I have watched 100's of reaction videos from Nikki and Steve. They usually get emotionally drawn in at some point to hard hitting drama's regardless if it's tv or movies. Once the cgi comment was mentioned early on during the reaction, it seemed that that set the tone, kind of looking at this as more of a cheesy 70's/80's horror schlock fest and not a serious drama. I was waiting for that moment to be overcome at some point, but it never was and mostly laughing and hilarity ensued until the end.
    Unfortunately the point of the movie was missed in part due to this. While the cgi seemed dated, even for 2007 when it came out, that was not the point of the film, nor were the creepy monsters, and judging by their response to other comments, they are well aware of this fact by now. They aren't hurting anyone by holding to their opinion on this while some in the comments are acting like they did something wrong because they came away from the movie disagreeing with a decent size chunk of fans, but I do hope they will at least take some of the comments focusing on what the film was about seriously and not dismiss them.
    I think a rewatching of this at some point in the future off camera, with some of the things in mind that have been mentioned here might be good. Or not, it's all good either way, but you could at least maybe understand what the heck some of the viewers here have been trying to point out.
    I think Nikki's reaction at the end with shock and horror was as close as we got to them enduring what this film was trying to go for. It's terrible to imagine how horrible that would have been for Thomas Jane doing what he did after feeling like he was left with no other options, to then moments later be "rescued" by the military. Poetic injustice.
    It's already been pointed out, but just to quickly reiterate, when crap hits the fan, hope begins to wane, and despair sets in, people become ravenous and go into survival mode and the many factions that quickly began to form are as realistic as it gets. The Walking Dead also explores this in depth and I also think this is why some are confused here, because almost everyone watching your channel knows how much you two love TWD and this was written and directed literally by the same writer/producer/director Frank Darabont who placed similar themes into both The Mist and TWD. It's why it had so many of the same cast from the first few seasons of TWD. The acting, the interactions between characters, and the melodrama may have not been what Steve was looking for, I don't know, but this was definitely a film that examines the human condition under extremely intense and uncertain circumstances.

      This comment is coming a year late and I'd like to start by saying your reaction to this and any other movie/show is just that YOUR reaction/opinion. I personally can appreciate that you did not like this movie, it proves that you're being authentic in your reactions.
      However, my point to commenting here is that after reading thru some of the comments I can see why some of the veiwers were upset with the way youve responded to some of the comments on this video. The response to rude commenters are understandable, but you're viewers, the voters and anyone else taking time out of their day to watch your video are here supporting you and as op commenter said you should take what you say into consideration. I've noticed you used the excuse of your comments here and in the video being a "joke" and even if that was ur intention many other saw it as otherwise. It doesn't cost anything for you to apologize in some of those circumstances. Those who did enjoy this movie may take it personally when you say we're dumber for watching this or calling their fav horrible. And maybe ur jokes don't exactly warrant an apology but what i have yet to see as i scroll is atleast an acknowledgement of how what you said could make those that are supporting you feel despite ur intention to be lighthearted. Just because it was okay in past videos doesn't mean it will always be okay. Also, those commenting that the premise of the movie flew over your head or that you didn't understand are saying this for a reason, it didnt seem like you understood. At the end as you said you didn't have much to say even without liking it picking apart some of the points you felt the movie was trying to make would have shown ppl ur understanding but the time wasn't taken to do that so yes people have assumed you didn't get it, and yes they might be wrong but more care could have been put into correcting that thought on your part. I hope you can understand my opinion on this. You don't have to agree but like i said it's something to consider
      As ive said this is nothing against your channel or this video. I am here just commenting on some of your responses to the comments youve recieved. I 100% support you guys i hope others will continue to do the same despite your opinion to this movie. And as we see you still have a large community.

    I’m sad you guys didn’t like this movie. It’s actually a genius film (even if the cgi wasn’t great). But it’s definitely not a film for people who don’t like slow burns or who don’t understand the concept they were going for. It’s unfortunate. I think if you had seen this from a different perspective, such as having read the book or at least understanding the synopsis of the plot, you’d have felt differently.

      We watch so much content with slow burns and we appreciate those so it’s not that. Just because something isn’t like or doesn’t land the same doesn’t mean there’s a lack of understanding. Honestly, could watch this movie from 100 different perspectives and not much would change, just wasn’t something we enjoyed. Can’t like every movie.

    I understand liking or disliking this movie, but I'm confused by how much of it you thought was laugh worthy... LOL... Some context was surely missed and didn't invoke the right mood of imagination for you guys. I suspect your reactions would have been slightly different had there not been an audience you're meant to entertain with an engaging reaction, which was subconsciously keeping your mood elevated too high? Maybe the SFX only look so noticeably dated on today's higher end devices but get by fine on the screens from 2007? I don't know I've only watched this on older screens.

    Lots of people love The Mist, myself included. The story, the characters, the beasts, etc. It's a true horror that depicts people realistically, imo. Folks would flipthefug out if they were in the same position. A few would be rational, the rest would be scared . .itless. The ending makes sense because they are stranded in mist hell with no expectation of rescue.
    Did you happen to notice the BEHEMOTH ? Yeah, THAT THING is in the neighborhood. After all they've seen, especially David, I can see why he chose the OPT OUT option, & in the end, he survives to live with his choices. No wife, no son, no home. He probably didn't last 24 hrs. after that.

    I am absolutely certain you went into the situation expecting to dislike the movie, and the poor CGI tentacles just confirmed your bias and you stopped seeing what was good and pounced on what you perceived as bad. A 7.1 on IMDB suggests your observation of Birdemic being better may be wrong.

      I can tell you that’s not the case. We knew zero about this movie when we watched. Our community picked it and we’re always excited with the selections of the community. From top to bottom we just didn’t enjoy it. Wasn’t some pre conceived to not like it. And the Birdemic joke clearly didn’t land. I’m sure there’s plenty of 7.1 rated content on IMDB that you don’t enjoy.

    This was always one of my favorite King short stories. In the mid 80s I had a friend who went to school in Maine and he said they would go to the supermarket that King had used in the story to buy beer. It was sort of a local landmark in a very small town. I thought the movie adapted the story pretty well. Also, knowing the source material probably helped me to ignore some of the filmmaking defects.

    Interesting that despite their rather harsh criticism for the film, they would prefer not to capitalize their reasoning to the people who actually commenting why they hate the movie. You grab the tiger by its tail and you receive backlash. By all means it is a movie worthy of sins like many but the acerbic wording they used to describe it was a huge turn off for viewers who in the majority absolutely love this movie. They said it was worse than a large amount of shit movies and so you should expect a horde of people lashing you because what you say will always have consequences. Effectively since this video will have lots of viewers and that is because everyone LOVES this movie except for Dense & Denser.

    You don't know how someone is going to react to trauma. If you have seen how many monsters came out of the mist to kill everyone. They felt desperate and chose to go out instead of watching his child die in the horror. There was no moment of safety. I think the movie is very realistic and the ending just brilliant. Look at how people reacted to Covid. I know people that were normal, acted despicable during Covid and then went back to like nothing happened. It captures the human condition perfectly.
