The Village
ok, here is the drill: if you want your friends to still consider you their friend, if you don't want to see your mama cry her heart out, if you want to continue with your happy life, if you want ME to continue with my happy life or if you want to safe some money then DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE. it sucks BAAAAAAAAD. the worst $5 lost in my life.....
That bad huh?
I could see it being horrid, the story is kinda completely explained in the ads, and M. Knight Shavalon isn't all that great.
Really? I'm going to see it tomorrow. I like Shymalon movies, usually. I'm going to see it, and if you try to stop me, I'll eat your pets.

Wow, sounds bad, but I never even heard of it, lucky me
Do you consider it bad just because it is so scary? Cause then I still wanna see it.
The mouse, he churned that cream into butter.
You can't keep holding up the same bank and expect the cashiers not to recognize you.

No its just that Shavolan's "scary" movies are usually long and boring, the only frighting parts aren't all that frightning because you're too tired to care, I tried to watch "signs" twice, yet couldn't make it through without falling asleep, I would rather watch *shudders* Matrix revoulotions than this movie. Oh and Long Live Quintion Tarintino!Originally Posted by Cid
I will still see this movie because I like his movies. They are never scary and always have a good story and good characters. I may see it on monday here(4.50 mondays no matter what time of day).
I think his best movie was unbreakable by the way.
Can we at least spell his name right? M. Night Shyamalan? He's a far better movie director than any of you, so some respect is at least in order. And the story isn't explained at all in the ads - in fact, you know nothing about the movie other than its in a village and weird things are about to happen. It was deliberately done that way, because he's sick of people like Bruce Willis blowing his ends on late-night talk shows. He's able to generate that much buzz about his movies without giving away any details at all because he's gained that much respect.
And M. Night Shyamalan isn't just a suspense-movie kind of guy - you're not watching the movie just to be scared like a B-rated straight-to-DVD horror flick (or like an A-grade Hitchcock film, whatever). If anything, the suspense is a distant secondary detail to what is most important - the story and the characters. Ed is on the ball here, so that's all for that.
POD raises many good points, but I too have heard that the film does not live up to his previous work. I suppose we can all see it and decide for ourselves though.
Take care all.
I haven't seen it yet either, so I reserve my judgement. In either case, I doubt the quality of the movie will affect the nature of my comments in my previous post, as they were meant to sidestep that very issue.
Hi.
I saw the movie yesterday afternoon and I thought it was amazing. Honestly, I feel it's something different for Shyamalon, well different from what he's been typecast as. I found it to be a pretty powerful statement on a variety of different subjects. Love, hate, good, evil, innocence and experience are all pretty much included. I'm not saying you have to like it, but I would ask that everybody approach it with an open mind.

For all that go read the Stand by stephen king, that is agreat novel
I thought it was good. Much better than <i>Signs</i> and <i>The Sixth Sense</i>. The ads don't tell you anything. Although I did figure out what was going to happen during the middle of the movie. However, calling it bad is a terrible review for the movie. The plot device might not be original or anything, but it's much better than most plots, which are overdone a lot more than this one. I recommend it.
