This is your own opinion. While many people criticise The Secret, there are also many who like it a lot.

...because it was far too simplistic, as is the law of attraction concept. I also think that The Secret may trivailize the root of its message because it isn't grounded enough because its mostly feel good motivation without any real depth.

I've been finding out that the simpler something is the more difficult it is to accept for the majority of people. Yes, the secret has been presented as very simple. And I believe it really is that simple. Did you practice it enough to say it's not? Even if you didn't manage to put such simple LOA to work for you doesn't mean it's not possible.

My first problem with the film is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quantum mechanics explaination. These people probabley don't understand the basic concepts of quantum mechanics. This is obvious because quantum physics does not in any way imply the LoA.

I agree with you on this point. I think the whole quantum physics stuff shouldn't have been covered in the Secret without more in-depth scientific explanations. I would prefer personal experiences instead.

My second is that The Secret doesn't have much valuable material. Its basically: hey we can solve all your problems, just write what you want down and feel good about it. Well there would be no suffering if it was that simple.

Ironically, I think you are a perfect example of why this last sentence is not true - if people hear of a wonderful idea which is too simple, they automatically discard it with disbelief as if simple = ineffective. There is suffering because we tend to be drawn to what is complicated and so we complicate our lives. I bet you could conquer the world with the few simple ideas from The Secret - but of course you won't if you find them ridiculously simple because you won't even try or try for a short while with disbelief - whereas persistance is required here.

The law of attraction for the most part isn't true.

I have no power to prove it to you otherwise. If you say LOA isn't true then by LOA what you say will become true for you. Only those who put the LOA to use can see the proof that it works by observing the results.
It's good to see people have different opinions and beliefs. Interestingly, I hear about many who rant and rant and rant as well as those who begin applying what they saw in the secret and report positive changes in their lives. Both approaches are valid and whichever you choose is up to you
