Defcem makes a compelling argument..tom cruise has clearly had an influence on will because before they met will wasn't donating money to Scientology..I also don't like will's argument when he defends it.."I can't say it's crazy because I believe Jesus was born from a virgin Mary" see it's not about what you believe it's about hoemw you try and influence people. Will should really go and listen to ms holy roller. Let's be honest here.scientology and tom cruise would be absolutely gunning to make will one of them..as defcem described their whole ethos is to attract powerful people in the world into their organisation.. Do I believe will is a scientologist? No. Do I think the media manipulates and tried to make the most out of this story? Yes. Do I think scientology is having an effect on will? Yes. He clearly has changed lately.. I can't say I really like it.. Just read some of wills in depth interviews lately.. The reason I've been such a fan over the years is that will is still just a regular guy.. I guess u can't be in the positib he's in without it getting to you.. What worries me ? What he's saying, his career path, his own private school, all his children now starting movies, his relationship with tom cruise, donations to scientology, abandoning music.. Does this make me any less of a fan? I don't think so I'm just like a concerned frient loooking on a litle worried...

Of course the movie was a flop..the actuals are in and it only made 14.9 million that's the lowest attended movie of wills in years..studio expectations were for close to 30 million and Sony was expecting another pursuit with 160 million or so.. I am legend made close to 250 million in the us.. This will be lucky to get to 50

Maxfly do you think his image should be tarnished by donating 50,000 to Hollywood scientology centre?

No like I said 5 huge movies coming out over Christmas..Benjamin button will take a lot of seven pounds audience.. I don't see this gettin to 100 mil

I love how everyone is pretending the donations to Scientology aren't real.. These are his tax records!! I doubt he'd be making any incorrect statements with that especially after his problems with the IRS previously.. Now I've defended will on the scientology thing plenty of times before but giving 50,000 to the hollywood centre is not a good use of money.. I can think of plenty of people who need more money than Hollywood scientilogists

Only made 5 million Friday..weekend will be about 17 mil. The movie will open at number 2 after will has had ten str8 movies open at number 1..

I think his tax statements are pretty factual!!!

is seven pounds the worst movie ive seen? Probably not.. But it's so overly sappy it's hard to like..muccino seems to love bangin you over the head again and again to make a point...he is so obvious!!! He did it with the American flag in pursuit..again and again..the end of the movie which you'll figure out well before the end is hidden throughout bevmcause if you knew what it was about you prob wouldn't sit through two hours of this crap.. The script is good enough for a lifetime/hallmark telemovie..it's a mile away from an oscar which seems the whole project was constructed for an attempt at awards season.. Rosario Dawson gives a very honest performance..she seemed like a very real character but eventually she gets swallowed up by the sub par quality of the script in the final act..wills performance is extremely strained..I actually found it difficult to watch him portraying this character..it was so over the top and forced emotion I'd rate it as one of his worst performances..muccino does create some beautiful shots but that's his only saving grace..the other characters in the movie are barely seen as the love story completely takes over..this also lessons the payoff at the end.. This movie like baggervance and wild wild west I'll prob never see again..

I don't think critics have been this scathing on one of wills movies since w3 tho

50,000 to Scientology's celebrity center in Hollywood I have a big problem with..

Yeah, similar to a lot of other reviews... What was Will thinking?

Normally the early review are positive because studios don't want negative ones published tip it comes out..I'd say it could stay as low as 30% people aren't saying it's ok or it's average they are really slamming itits average mark is 4.3 they do seem to agree Rosario was good tho

Damn I can't believe how poorly seven pounds is reviewing..never expected this

...

There's no way this movie will make 600-700 million worldwide like hancock and legend..and I'll bet my entire jjfp collection on that

I what do you think ?? This may be one of the hardest to predict..I'm gonna say opening weekend 23-27, total us boxoffice 80-90 and maybe 100 rest of the world..

Wow that msnbc review is exactly what I thought this movie would be like..those are some scathing reviews!prob the worst ivecread since wild wild west

I don't worry about reviews for movies like bad boys2..I do worry about reviews of serious dramas like this tho

Interesting will Mentions Shia lebouf in the behind the scenes of the I robot movie he clearly says Shia is gonna be a huge star and hecwas right

I think if you were a fan for more than ten years you might have a different pespective..also the statement that will writes only 50% of his music is complete rubbish..a few artists help will with a line here or there ludacris only wrote the chorus of party starter..

if he says he's doin nuthin but movies for the next ten years that sounds a lot like retiring

The flip side to that is jeff is ready to do a new jjfp album and will is not doing any movies for ant 12 months and rejecting music altogether

Yeah its very tough reading that quote from Will..never thought he'd say that..because it goes against everything he's said in his albums, which is a very personal thing.. The movies is Will just playing a part.. the albums are 100% Will..

put it on youtube.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhTsMOZSKUA

Aj are you hearing what will is saying????
