I don’t usually get too far off topic like this, but I had to say something.
Last weekend, we all decided to go out to the movies. We didn’t know what was playing at what time, so we were taking a chance on what would be available to see. Now the boys wanted to see the new X-men movie. Fortunately for them, it was playing about every 10 minutes. So they got to see the movie they wanted to see. I was with my daughter, who is 13 and I don’t let her see R rated movies yet, so that limited our choices even more. I wanted to see “The Soloist” or “Taken”, but neither was playing at the right time. We were left with a choice of “Hannah Montana”, which was a definite NO; or “Knowing”. I thought it couldn’t be too bad because I’ve enjoyed many films starring Nicholas Cage. In fact, I loved him in “Leaving Las Vegas” – excellent movie, if you ever get the chance.
Knowing, has to be one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. It was absolutely ridiculous. There were religious signs and symbols throughout the movie. There were so other things that made no sense at all. My daughter and I kept asking each other during the movie if the other wanted to leave. Unfortunately we stuck it out. The ending was just bad. It’s like they couldn’t figure out how to end this horrific movie and picked something out of a hat.
It was just awful.

That is seriously good to know because I really did not know what to think of that movie. .It looked a little off to me.
Ooops will try to avoid that movie.
This movie looked kinda interesting but after what you said I doubt I will even rent it when it comes out. I do like Nicholas Cage, national treasure was alright adventure film. My wife doesn’t like him though, she always says he looks depressed in every film. Anyway thanks for the review.
That movie nothing in my country
Thanks for the tip, I’ll skip that one too. For me personally nothing can beat the lousiness of The Happening with Mark Wahlberg. He really knows how to pick bad movies.
Yes I have watched the movie too and I got bored within some 30-40 minutes and I stopped watching it.
I have seen the movie and i left inbetween.. it was just a waste of money and time for me.
Nicholas Cage is one of those guys you either love or hate. I have to say that I usually avoid movies with Nicholas Cage. Something about the guy has set me off for a long time… I think Raising Arizona was the last movie of his that didn’t make my temples ache.
Thanks for the heads-up, though. I’ll make it a point not to watch Knowing… sounds like a stinker.
Ha! All my friends wanted to see this movie, but once I saw the preview for it, it was a definite NO! for me. Fortunately we went to see “Crank: High Voltage” instead. It was a great flick, it had everything that makes a great movie. Wouldn’t be appropriate for your daughter though, just thought I’d throw that out there.
haha, I saw it too but I live in a non-English speaking country so we take what we can get. Even so, I just had to laugh at the ending. It was so bizarre!
I really bored from this movie. its just waste of money.
i m from India. here people are watching most of mother tongue movie. thanks for post.
It was a great flick, it had everything that makes a great movie.
Well very good information here. I was thinking about seeing that movie this weekend. Maybe I’ll go for X-Men. What did your boys think about that?
It might have been a bad experience for you and your daughter but it all depends upon personal likings.
Well I’m certainly going to avoid adding that one to my netflix queue now. Sorry you had to sit through it but thanks for warning me.

When I tried to skip lunch to lose weight, he kept following me around to make sure I eat. He even made me stand in the lunch line and he monitored me eating. I yelled out to him and said “Leave me alone, I don’t want to eat. I’m tired of being an outcast”
Everything happened so fast! I STRONGLY recommend Nicholas Cage to EVERYONE interested in running a successful online business! Your company is great to work with.
It might have been a bad experience for you and your daughter but it all depends upon personal likings.
I think we can blame the director more than Nick. I’m quite a Fan, I guess he just comes across as likable. Anyway, I suppose he wasn’t sitting in the directors chair nor editing the movie so he’s probably as annoyed as anyone else that it turned out bad.
Oh, I was hoping this was a good movie. Thanks for the review. Maybe I’ll head to a different movie.
ı know this movie,it is very good
We were going to see the film but we’ll try a different film this weekend.
Thanks for sharing
it should be nicolas cage one of the bad movies.
Thank you for the summary we are going some dantel modelleri for some one its really good…
I really like his accent. One of my favorite actor.
good thing that I didn’t choose to watch that one with my friends.
That movie nothing in my country
I am also a big fan of Nicholas Cage. I watched all of his movies. And! I was planning to watch this movie here in the Philippines.
Good thing I found out that it sucks.
Thanks to you friend.
Be back to read more of you post.
I couldn’t watch the movie but mu daughter was keep on insisting me. I think such movies should be refrained to watch. I am wondering why this movie was so appraised all over the world.
When I watched the movie, I had similar feeling and wanted to leave the cinema, but stayed in hope there will be a good twist and end to the movie.
There was nothing original in the movie and it was mix up various other scifi movies.
i agree that his movies can be enjoyable, but his acting really isn’t the greatest!!
Thanks so much for the information–I have alwayed like Nicholas Cage movies but I will avoid this one!
Kay
I AGREE TO YOU BECAUSE WHEN I SAW THIS MOVIE I TOO GOT BORED !GREAT YOU ARE INFORMING TO EVERYONE ABOUT IT !GOOD!
This movie is kinda interesting..but I agree with you that the ending was just bad. I don’t like this movie but my husband does.
You can pretty much count on 75% of all Nicholas Cage movies to be forgettable. He’s not hot, never was, not even in ConAir. He’s not a brilliant actor like Sean Penn. He’s got a couple good action flicks, a couple boring chick flicks, and that National Treasure franchise. I think given the options I would have chosen Hannah Montana. =)
Nicolas thinks he looks good! Go buy some here Nics!
I hope you will enjoy watching and I hope that i can watch that in the net.
Lol! When I read the title, I thought he had done or said something to offend overweight people. But I guess a dud film is just as bad as that.
Thanks for this post, I think I will try to avoid that movie..
that was a real bad film……………
I have watched it but it was not too bad i mean it was fair !so if anyone wants to watch it then he should not expect much more from this movie!
I am with you. It sucks.
Just dont forget this guys is nutts… he and Tom Cruise and their strange Sciencetology (or whatever—) Thanks for the info. Cage is not what he used to be… what a shame…
I was thinking about this movie but now I’ll go for the action series of tom cruise rather than seeing this movie everybody should change their mind to choose alternative ones!
It’s weird, some of my favorite movies had Nicholas Cage in them and some of the worst movies of all time stared Cage as well. Too bad those were your only choices.
I also thought that…. He has done some good films in the past though.
Cheers
I really hate this movie & because of this movie my girlfriend got upset about me as we have spoiled our time for watching it!it is really a jerky movie!
I like nicolus personally form his movie ” the national trasour” i also like “the ghost rider”. However, this incedence is quite rare and should not be repeated.
I wonder, how could it be possible with Nicholas Cage for choosing such kind of movies… Really feeling pitty for him.
What? I can’t believe I think I should watch the movie first before to fully react on this topic! Anyways, thanks for sharing your opinion.
jacket Nicolas Cage is wearing in the movie Family Man. I had asked this question a few years back and still nothing.
Thanks so much for the information–I have alwayed like Nicholas Cage movies but I will avoid this one!
I like Nicholas cage and watch all of his movies without fail.. This was the one i missed… Thanks for your comment… I’m not gonna watch it…
It is too much boring and waste of money too.
nothing new from Nicholas Cage filmography. How many are his good movies? 1? City of angels? then?? ……… enjoy the silence
Odd movie but anything new is worth watching once.
Hey nice design man. You have done a great job, Thanks for these updates
I’m suprised that it got a respectable 6.7 on IMDB. I was really dissapointed with this film. It’s a shame that Cage starred in this, when you compare it to some of his great films, like Lord of War.
Wow I haven’t seen this film yet but I am a Nicolas Cage fan, I guess every film can’t be good for an actor.
Why did u waste your time writing a post on this movie? You did not know or what about this movie. I am sure that many would have criticized themselves after getting in the hall.
Thanks for the positive and negative recommendations. I love to go to the cinema but I do not have enough time for pleasure.
thank you for that info.! we weill avoid to watch that movie.
it was not a masterpiece but it was not so worst film I’ve ever seen.
But I definitely expected something better…
after reading your post unlike others i decided to watch this movie to know the bad things about it but after watching it i got to know about the bad thing about it & it was the wig everywhere wig & even in my dreams i sometimes see the large wigs!Dud i scare of this movie!
Hi,
me and my friend see this movie. my and my friends opinion is the movie are not bad.
i havent seen the movie yet
i watch very selected movies and that too after i get good reviews of it , hehe
You expected much more from Nick Cage? lol
I like this movie.Its fantastic
Where are all the updates at?
Yes he has gone downhill a bit in recent movies. i saw CRANK in the movie too and wow what a crazy movie… but very good and definitely fastest movie ever made!
I’ve heard about its bad quality, now I know that my friend was not lying to me.
Thanks for this review – I was considering watching this movie because I usually like Nicholas Cage movies but now I know that I shouldn’t see this one. Sorry you had to sit through that!
nothing special in that movie
i guess its better to look movie reviews before going to movies lol
I didn’t have a chance to watch this movie. But my friends who watched it in the cinema said that it was great. I guess it is recommended only for sci-fi fans.
I used to like Nicholas Cage but now he is just a has been.
We are Nicholas Cage’s fan
Hi I was thinking about this movie but now I’ll go for the action series of tom cruise rather than seeing this movie everybody should change their mind to choose alternative ones!
This movie just came into our country. I was thinking about going to see it, but as I can read it here, it would be a waste of time. So, thanks guys for the info, I’ll probably skip it;)
tanks for this post..
it’s help me full…
it’s help me…
tanks for you..
I liked the movie, of course I like to be entertained and do not enjoy movies that are miserable and depressing. I rather see a movie that is out of the ordinary. The premise or story of this film actually was brilliant but you’re right about the excecution. Horrible. They were just doin it to make the money, that’s obvious.
The writer that invisioned the idea was probably devastated that his work was botched in such a cynical way.
Still liked it for the entertainment value though.
May be high expectations might not have worked with this movie..It’s always like that..so, better do not expect anything before going for a movie..not even rely on reviews..
Steve.
Wow…
The movie really sounds disastrous. I had a similar experience with wicker man. I positively hated it. It was completely pointless and a drag to sit through. Dunno about everyone else, but I completely hated the movie.
I can only imagine what it must have been like. My wife and I finally decided to have a night out after a long time. We got a baby sitter and headed out to the movies. We decided to watch knowing. Imagine how disappointed we were when we found out that we had jus bought tickets to the worst movie ever made!
Waste of time and money. I regret watching it just to see if what was posted here was true. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
They really wanted to watch this movie. Glad that me and my friends skip this one. Just a waste of time and money.
The movie is not really bad.
I personally think that the movie is just a waste of time and money for me

He’s doing both roles actually. The good and the bad guy. The good is Sean Archer which is originally John Travolta and the bad is Castor Troy which is Nicolas Cage.
Knowing, has to be one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. It was absolutely ridiculous. There were religious signs and symbols throughout the movie. There were so other things that made no sense at all. My daughter and I kept asking each other during the movie if the other wanted to leave. Unfortunately we stuck it out. The ending was just bad. It’s like they couldn’t figure out how to end this horrific movie and picked something out of a hat.
Nicholas Cage is just one of those actors – sometimes he’s great and sometimes he’s just average. I think this is one of those average performances – not great and not really bad just average!
I don’t usually get too far off topic like this, but I had to say something.
Last weekend, we all decided to go out to the movies. We didn’t know what was playing at what time, so we were taking a chance on what would be available to see. Now the boys wanted to see the new X-men movie.

I’ll have to disagree with you there. I actually liked the movie and found it quit interesting. Nicholas Cage had a lot of great movies and this was not by far the best, but for me at least the story line and plot seemed pretty interesting. I mean there trying to save the world and all (and I thought they were going to find an answer of some kind in all those codes that they were deciphering) but… I’ll have to agree with you on the ending…LOL I definitely thought it could have been better than that… My 2 year old is more creative!
I have to agree with you in this, I hate The Knowing movie because at first I thought it was simply realistic and not out of this world movie not until I saw the Spaceship thing then all of a sudden it turned to be horrible one to watch.
Glad I missed it!
This is really a disaster. But Nicholas is a great actor and he should not has this career. I know that I will definitely avoid this movie.
I have always like Nicholas Cage movie.I will miss his movie.I like the way he express himself.
Is it that bad? Nicholas cage movie is always good.Leaving Las vegas is quite comedy also.
Thanks, very good information here. I was thinking about seeing that movie this weekend.
I don’t know it good or bad………..actually after reading this blog,i want to watch this move.
Then i say that i like it or not.
I saw it too. Ordinary scifi movie with bad ending. But, ….Nicholas Cage was one of my favorite actor.

Saw this on movie on blu ray last week. Why Aliens AGAIN!!!!!! just like indiana Jones 4. didnt make any sense to me.
You’re totally right. It is really very stupid and ugly. I think this film should immediately prohibit because the film can only bring serious problems between people.
That movie nothing in my country
Thanks for the nice post.
Thanks for that advice about “Knowing”. I love leaving Las Vegas was , too
‘I would like to do a reconceive’?
A reboot…with the same actor?
‘I would like to go in a whole other direction’?
What, y’mean NOT total crap again?
The sad thing is that someone like Robert Rodriguez (or, hell, Rob Zombie even) probably could’ve made a movie ten times better for one-tenth the cost than the one that MSJ churned out. For example: in close-up, why’d they CG (and poorly, at that) the Rider’s head? Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to get, say, a real skull and some matches?
And whose bright idea was it to take the concept of a demonic biker and aim it the ‘tween’ demographic?
auto club
I know this movie which is very good.. it’s very enjoyable movie….
Eletromagnetic flares from the sun are a real danger to the planet. However I didn’t see how the aliens could predict how many people would die in each disaster, that part was a bit kokey.

Thanks My Friend..
well no matter what i like nicholas lolz
I was searching for the same solution about Nicholas Cage Should be Ashamed of Himself and finally i found you through Google search
mind blowing!.
I know this movie, it is very good !
Thanks for the post. You have saved thosands of dollars by sharing this information.
I’m sure there’s more to it then just this. Ill do a search on google and try to find out more. Thanks in advance. Regards Snuggertje
I pretty much agree, although I did like the ending. I thought it gave some relevance to the whole adam and eve story (at least that’s what I think it was trying to do). Other than that 2 seconds of the movie, it was just awful.
I cant decide whether Nicolas Cage’s fixed facial expression of permanent heart broken anguish makes him look the victim of child molesters or if he himself looks like a Pedo.. Both can own a uni-brow and goofy teeth.. perhaps a little of both then
I am so sorry for you guys to choose such a bad movie. My practice is I always read the review before watching it and I also dont beleive them completely. I will just find out elements interesting to me and then take a judgement call and yes there will be a strict MPAA consideration while taking kids along. But ironically nowadays they get a chance to watch those movies well ahead of us.
Las Vegas Foreclosures
I haven’t seen it yet, but am now going to.
I’m glad that I didn’t see it. Thanks for letting us know.
Would I be bad for saying that I have never liked Nicholas Cage in the first place? lol..I haven’t seen the new x-men movie yet but plan to go out and catch it very soon! Thanks for sharing.
I do think this movie had a sucky ending but I wouldn’t say that the movie was horrible. I rented it a month or two ago to check it out myself. I’ve haven’t seen “Leaving Las Vegas” though so I have to watch that one and get back to you.
Nicolas Cage has so much potential, yet he really disappoints this time…
what was the name of the movie?
I like “Gone in 60 seconds” as well with NC starring, great play I must say
i think you are very smart and you are 100% right your a very smart person we need more ppl like you in this world
damn this is so weird
should ban that movie
I guess, Knowing is a very ambitious film. But they have overdone it so it’s really bad.
I am so glad that I read this post today. We were at a redbox last night trying to decide what movie to rent and Knowing was one of the choices. Nicholas Cage is one of my favorite actors but I had heard that this wasn’t one of his bests. Thanks for the post.
I like Nicholas Cage, but I have not seen yet ” Knowing “… I heard it’s a good movie and that it deserves to be seen
Actually, we had better love a specific movie rather than a specific film actor or actress because we should focus on the plot and it is always the plot that makes the film great. Actors or actresses are just a kind of media that facilitates the whole process.
I would like to see movies after your suggestion s coz i thnk this movie is not good but now i must see this movie and find what is specialty in this movie
Hi, nice blog, im managing weight related blog too, thanks for sharing
I think he’s very over rated!
I think he’s very over rated! i think i only like one of his films he’s been in.
Good post, I however disagree (an honest disagreement) with the bolding and attempt to highlight words. Your comments should not be so long that you need to highlight certain sections, short and sweet are best.
I also mostly like nicholas cage. After I read your post, I check knowing at imdb. Many of them said this movie is bad. Especially in the end. Then I should agree to avoid this movie.
Either you would dig him and his movies or dislike him. Some of his movies were good, others weren’t much. Haven’t saw the movie yet and I’m wondering what I’ll probably think after I see this. Moreover, it would still be a personal preference.
i agree with you nicolas cage its a very good actor but i dont know why in the world he agree to star in this movie .. at first i tought i was going to be good…well i bought it on dvd so its not so bad .. but i didnt understand the movie at all.
Yes, I agree with you. The movie’s story is dull and it made a lot of question marks in my head, even though for a sci-fi movie.
nicholas cage is a good actor
I saw this Movie, and you are right it sucked pretty badly. I feel duped by the cinema that they just took my money. I want it back!
oh..its not good but I really did not know what to think of that movie. .It looked a little off to me.
yeah i also love to watch the movies and the Nicholas Cage is one of best actor of mine
I love Nicholas Cage top movies like National Treasure, Con Air and many more, but the movie that you have shown, I have never seen..maybe you want to insert a peek video for the movie?
thanks for the info given..:)
His movies are getting worst. Just boycott his movies.
Great one.That is seriously good to know because I really did not know what to think of that movie.
thanks
I guess before watching movie it is advisable to do some research of what is th category of the particular movie you wanted to watch. Movie posters could be deceiving.
For such positions should be useful to give awards at full serious!thanks for sharing!!!!
This the part of the stardom the actor and actress have to face excessive pressure to convenience their audience and the supporters as because media and other medium personnel are always behind them.
totally agree with you. this is awful movie and just waste of time.
I know him from the Movie Conair. I Love him
I think it’s sad. Although, his movies have gone down hill, he’s a great actor. You can’t trust anyone with your money. For the people who are giving bad feedback, it’s sad how you have to hate on someone as successful as him. I know you wish you had money like that at some point in your life. Get a life and stop hating.
“Leaving Las Vegas” is one of my favourite movies. I rememberd perfectly the first time I watched the film on the cinema.
that movie nothing in my country (:
Appalling film, one of the worst he has ever done.
thank you very nice post
)))
very good
i am surprised cause the film got many high rates, however i better watch it so i can judge myself. soon to be released on dvd so i can stop it anytime, if it is not worth.
Best regards from Greece
Never playing in my country until now, btw thx for sharing here.
Very soon i plan on working out every morning and i want to lose a lot of weight….so what weight loss supplement would be best for me?
I thought Knowing was pretty good, it had a good twist at the end.
definitely i won’t watch that movie.. thanks for telling me this..
come on friends, it’s a good movie.. kids should enjoy it… i have seen it.. it’s not that bad…
Leaving Las Vegas is really an excellent movie. the plot is good..acting is really of high class.I saw this movie 3 to 4 times and every time I liked it and every time I found something new in the movie..very thoughtful.

Oh gash,what a movie…
It is great thing that you informed others,otherwise they will also have to bare this one.
Wight loss is very unbearable process. I gave up 7 times my diet. pls help me
All movies are bad because people are not creative enough to think up new plots. Anyways, I hate the problems Nick now faces but look forward to the movies he will be making to work his way out of it.
I agree with you that movie is not good at all, I like his other movies but this is a no no
Nicholas Cages movie are always an entertainer…
i really agree with you and that man gone to the limit
All movies are bad because people are not creative enough to think up new plots. Anyways, I hate the problems Nick now faces but look forward to the movies he will be making to work his way out of it.
I just want to say that I think Mr. Cage should continue with these terrible films. He is the best Z-movie star out there. I convulse with anticipation whenever I see a trailer of one of his new films – I know the movie will be just plain terrible, but the chance that such sublime hilarity might ensue is enough for me. Wicker Man was right up there with Manos in terms of a movie so bad that it’s just a hoot to watch. Nic Cage is just perfectly cast – yes, he can be great in some circumstances, but I will always remember him as the guy who made me laugh unintentionally the most and the hardest.
Oh, I feel sorry for you that you had to bear with an unbearable movie…I can understand that feeling, got some experiences of my own, though I didn’t expect this from a Nicholas Cage movie either. Haven’t seen Knowing, and would definitely not see it after reading this post. Thanks
I think Nicholas Cage had better movies than raising Arizona . I must say that He is a wonderful actor, and really seems to be a nice guy in real life!! It’s not his fault that some fool stole his money, it happens all the time.
