The Village
If you haven't seen this movie, then do not proceed any further. I don't want to spoil it for you (though I don't think there is much to spoil after finally seeing it
 : ).BIG disappointment for me. Not one of M Night's best efforts IMO. To coin Sixth Sense...."I see a dread movie" "lol" Alot of "gaps" in this movie. A "secret" society somehow hidden away from all of modern civilization under the rouse of a giant wildlife preserve? And then to find out those "they are forbidden to speak of" never really existed, but were created/fabricated in order to exercise control over the village. It had it's typical M Night moments; but overall, a weak effort. On a different note.... I Robot :thumbdown We rentes Shaun Of The Dead, but turned it off early into the movie because I didn't think it was appropriate for the kids. I'll watch it later alone. Looking forward to watching Denzel in the Machurian Candidate today. But gotta get it in before the Patriot-Colts game. :allovrjr:

Re: The Village
I loved "The Sixth Sense." I liked "Signs." I haven't yet seen "The Village" but it has received uniformly poor reviews and everything I've read about it makes it sound to be simply dumb.

Re: The Village
Sixth Sense and Signs spooked us because M. Night caught us off-guard. When you go to a movie expecting a surprise, it takes some air out of the balloon.
M. Night needs to try something new, that's all. |

Re: The Village
It's all about why you watch movies I guess.
I knew about The Village before I watched it, but I didn't care. I still loved it, because I don't watch movies for surprise endings or a shock storyline.

Re: The Village

Re: The Village
Figured out "signs" 35 minutes into the film? What's there to figure out? Aliens were coming?
