Generally, I sneer at critical opinion, especially as concatenated by Rotten Tomatoes, which somehow has syndicated enough obscure blog rants to become The Voice of the (Easily Led, Congenitally Stupid) People. But again, I predicted this sort of shitstorm after The Happening. Too many critics felt taken for a ride and were lying in wait for this one.

That said, I do have some reservations about the casting, just on appearance alone. I see a lot of generic Teen Nick-type faces in there, and that's not at all a feature of the original. They'll have to convince me.
