Great Film overall

Fantastic!

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Plot: Will Smith texts while driving, and so gets in a car crash that kills seven people, including his fiancée. To amend for this, he decides to improve the lives of seven strangers who have serious problems like, say, blindness. He does this by killing himself and leaving his body parts to these people. That's basically the story, though it's told out of chronological order so we only really understand what's going on at the movie's end.Opinion: Many reviews here have called this film immoral, for not condemning and maybe even endorsing suicide. Personally I didn't find that offensive. The character sacrifices his life to make the lives of others better. This is not a bad thing, and indeed many men go to war with this idea in mind. What I did find hard to bear, however, was the overall tone of the film. It was very slow, sad, and with lots and lots of unnecessary background music. It seemed to be trying too hard to be "dramatic", with lots of yelling and crying and such. Actually gave me a headache. Were I the editor, I would have removed all the background music and cut the film length in half. This whole story can easily be told in an hour, or even less time.Overall rating: thumbs down

This is the first time I write a review for a movie, but Seven Pounds encouraged me to release my feelings. This movie is one of the most emotional and deep movies I've ever watched! It takes you to another world where you think and question everything about our lives, death, and sacrifice. It takes you to a very deep level of thinking where you ask yourself if your life has a value or not, and what could add a value to this life. I think the last scene tells everything about this movie, when the heart and the eyes of the same person gather again in two different bodies, that was strongly emotional!

Simply great.Did not expect such a movie.Totally new story line and great acting by Will Smith.One of the movies ever.Not to be missed in any case.A highly recommended movie for those who are having tough time in their life.A must watch before you die movie.Gr8 screenplay and acting by all the actors and actresses.

Seven Pound is an amazing movie. Will Smith played a really strong character who had a mighty heart who thinks about the others.. who always ready to sacrifice his own self in order to get someone out of the trouble. Its really touchy movie which can make you sad. We usually live for ourselves and for that purpose we can go far as much as we can. but there are very few people who sacrifices whatever they have for others and they can go as much as they can to help others. They are who give others importance more than their own self. They are the real people and really hard to find in this cruel world... But the character in this movie is proved to be a unique character.
