I think there is a definite difference and here is the logic. and for the record I made it quite clear that if what I heard is true then the Happening probably sucks some serious you know what.
Ok lets compare similarities of Lady in the Water and The Happening.
Same writer, same director, hence likely to have the same kind of "feel"
Hulk vs Incredible Hulk. Whole new writer, director, actors, even the type of movie is different. Hulk was very cartoony and ######ed, Incredible Hulk on the other hand is not silly and cartoony, it is serious and very character driven.
That's how the logic works for me. Like the previous poster said, it'd be like not seeing Batman Begins because you didn't like the 60s TV show. Whole different entity. Lady in the Water and The Happening, not different entities, Shamalayn (sp?) same crappy writing and directing. Although I loved the Sixth Sense and own Unbreakable. M. Night had some good ideas at first but his whole thing is really wearing thin. In fact his movies have gotten worse with each movie.
EDIT: and Van I wouldn't even call it a sequel, they basically rewrite the whole origin although the fact that everyone knows about the first Hulk meant that they could breeze over the origin this time because we were familiar with the concept although the details were quite different.
