I have watched this film three times and I like it more and more. Yes, some things became obvious early into the film, but the subject matter and the acting were pretty good. Reason for bad reviews are probably because many people do not have the brain capacity to sit through movies that require the use of brain and emotions at the same time. These individuals are more visual and need things to be constantly blowing up, see unrealistic crashes and gun fights to keep them interested without having to use much of the brain.

Just saying!!

Why should God have been included in any of these films? How would that have made the movie better?

Did the original person who reviewed this film actually watch it?!! Will Smith’s character is not an IRS officer he is only using the idenitity of his brother who is the actual IRS agent!! This film was beautifully written and made. Will Smith is just beyond excellent as the character who cannot live with himself for what he has done. This film’s story will stay with me for a long while, hugely emotional and definately makes you think.

i personally thought that the movie had a phenominal story to it. It was a movie you actually had to sit down and get into to enjoy. Personally, WIll Smith was a great actor in the film, just like in most, and this movie deffintly had an impact on the way i live my life, even in the tinest ways. The movie was absolutely phenominal but to eachs own.

I think sometimes people just dont know how to enjoy and understand films, namely the reviewer of this film. Yes you got to understand what Will Smith's character was up to early on, I think the film would be a waste of time if you did not. The film was about living Will's emotion and understanding the emotional quandry of falling in love whilst undertaking the path he was taking. Reviewer, watch again and you may see the bits you missed, 1. relating to his status as and IRS agent? 2. that last conversation with the doctor? question? if the doctor had given a higher persentage rating what would he of done?
This was a very well done film with a fine cast. I would call it a high class emotional artistic piece of work.

in my opinion, this movie was so moving, i dont think i cried this hard since titanic. it is a really long movie. however, its worth it to watch the whole movie through. the end wont disappoint you one bit. if you are not an organ donor, once you see this, you will truly be inspired to be. I never write movie reviews but i couldnt help myself. it moved me that much and it definately needs to be recognized on how good of a film it is. Very inspirational and touching without a doubt. 5 stars all the way!

It was a beautiful movie and I feel the critics did not sit through it and observe the beauty of the film. The end of the movie did a great job tying in the love between Will Smith and Rosario Dawson they looked at love through his eyes and heart. Besides the love, it was a profound film. A concept never portrayed in film.

I honestly don’t understand all the negative reviews. It was quite obvious to me as well as others what was going on pretty early, but the powerful performance by Mr. Smith and his supporting cast kept me engrossed. I actually wanted to know just what happened to get him to that state, and how his relationship with Dawson’s character would develop while he knew full well he could not continue it. And finding out he actually WASN’T an IRS agent was a twist I actually didn’t see coming. I can understand some not liking it perhaps for its length. If you don’t like to sit through long character driven dramas, then you probably shouldn’t subject yourself to movies that are obviously going to be long character driven dramas. Other than that, I fail to see what was so bad about the film. I have a sneaking suspicion that the very idea of giving over your organs to someone is just too gross a concept for most people. Which, ironically, is probably why donor organs are so hard to find and make movies like this possible in the first place.

I just watched this movie and thought it was fanastic.Will smith is truly becoming one of the greatest actors of all time.His movie roles can vary from one extreme to the next.This movie had me blubering like a baby.I loved the plot granted it had you wondering for almost half the movie as to what was going on but i knew the ending would be worth the wait.Ive never posted an opinion of a movie on line before so i hope this explains the passion i have for this movie.So at the risk of sounding like anne wilkes from misery i think i just might be will smiths number one fan

OK, so honestly, I figured out the whole plot and ending of the movie pretty much immediately. For me, the title ws pretty much a dead give away, especially once we see him watching/in contact with a blind guy, a guy needing a bone marrow transplant, and a girl with heart disease. But even though I knew what was going on and that he would have to die, I still really enjoyed this film…. and I usually do not enjoy dramas, and slow films in general. In fact, knowing he would have to die somehow made the fell of it all even more poignant for me… watching the relationship between him and Emily and knowing that his sacrifice was becoming more and more painful. He paid for 7 lives with his 7 pounds of flesh…. but lets not forget that one of those lives was his fiance. It seemed even more meaningful to me that one of the lives he would save, would be a woman that he loves. Indeed, he got to die for her, instead of her dying for him… which is how he saw what happened. And, indeed, he gave her his heart. I thought it was very poetic and very insightful.

Hey I have seen a few comments wondering about the title. The title refers to shakespeares play the merchant of Venice where Shylock trys to take a pound of flesh for payment. This is about will smiths character looking to Repent for taking the lives he did. Seven lives equals seven pounds of flesh. Thus, seven pounds.
I really enjoyed the movie. I am an intelligent girl but I didn’t get the plot until the end, when you were supposed to. It takes an awful lot to make me cry and I bawled my eyes out…

I thought it was different. I just mainly wanted to know why he was doing these things. I’d also agree with 3 out of 5 stars, maybe even 3.5. I definitely recommend to at least watch this film one time.

Good/great movie. I had not seen a trailer and I knew absolutely nothing about the movie except I assumed, based on some picture that I think I saw somewhere of Smith’s body and the title, that it was about weight loss. Perhaps someone trying to loose 5 pounds, but keep trying to lose more. Whatever. So yeah, it took me a little longer to figure it out…somewhere 3/4 through or something. So it kept me interested, but some of his lack of openness with Emily (and a few others) was getting on my nerves – just explain that he was in love and what had happened. Good performance though. As for the jellyfish, I was more concerned that it would cause damage to the heart with tachycardia/hypertension or the reverse, etc. I think that a jellyfish, myotoxins and neurotoxins would *not* be the best way to commit suicide and donate your organs…less violent, but more risky and painful, imho. In the end, it’s nice when you don’t get to watch trailers =)
