Disappointing Night

**NickNack** · July 30th, 2004, 07:33 PM

We went and saw M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" today. I was really looking forward to this flick. I enjoyed "Sixth Sense" and "Signs" and had high hopes for this. Plus, Sci-Fi Channel's little exploitative 'documentary' had me wondering even more about the man.

I'll keep it short and say "save your money". After 30 minutes I was ready to walk. This is really a poor piece of film making with a preposterous story line. And even when you find out the 'why and what for', you don't care. It drags and drags without giving you a pay-off ending. Talk about good actors in a bad film: William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Adrian Brody, Joaquin Phoenix. All wasted as you sit there thinking, "DO SOMETHING. TELL ME ALREADY!" A couple of good scarey seconds and some unintentional laughter aren't worth $11.50.

I won't give away anything because if you like M. Night you'll probably want to check this out. Just be prepared to come out of the theater still hungry. :x

I had read/heard a few reviews on this movie and the general consensus was that it was mediocre at best. I know, I know, you can't always pay attention to the reviews, but when they are unanimous in their opinions maybe it's good to stay away.

Maybe it's a pattern with the director. The Sixth Sense was excellent! Unbreakable sucked! Signs was good, The Village sucks! His next film should be good :lol:

Nick, the Village's "twist ending" was leaked online a while back.....Shirley Jackson would have laughed at that ending.

Thanx for the warning :D

The movie is not in theatres here but the press is promoting it as a "superb" movie. Don't believe the press

I'll think about it and maybe "I forget about it" (yep-I'm hooked on the Sopranos)

We were less than an hour into the movie when I leaned over to Bill and told him whom I thought "those we do not speak of" were. This was just so lame. :roll:
