No. That didn't even let me down. That movie is SO underrated. It gives a great movie experience and is an excellent suspense thriller.

People just ***** and moan about the ending.

I actually liked it the first time I saw it up until the ending

Then I watched it again and relized how cheesey it was

However, Signs was a great movie, although the ending was crap, but still a great movie

I havent seen it, but I read the plot for Lady in the Water on Wikipedia and all I can say is...wow

Shymalan has gone SO downhill

I saw this movie on friday and I loved it

Um, maybe because the ending was really bad?

I thought the score, the cinematography and the atmosphere was just spot on in "The Village". Bryce Dallas Howard and Joaquin Phoenix gave great performances. I didn't mind the story as much as others did, thought it was great.

I just got back from Lady in the water. The movie was a joke. I have no further comments. It was just terrible.

Couldn't have said it better myself. ✅

That monologue by the critic was THE dumbest moment in movie history. PERIOD.

They should have paid me to see that movie.

My god my dear friend you summed it all up pretty damn good.
I would rather eat my own testicles then see this movie again, watching this movie was like a near death experience.

it wasnt suppose to be a surprise ending... I mean they told us all how it was going to end at the begining of the movie..

thought the movie was beautiful...

I liked Lady in the Water. So much better than the pile of cliche that was The Village.

I was very pleasantly surprised. The "critics" didn't seem to like it mainly for 2 reasons:

#1 - It was unbelievable and far fetched
#2 - The critic was obviously a crack at real life critics for not liking The Village

To those critics, it was a fairy tail. It doesn't have to be "believable".
As for the critic in the movie, I agree with the message conveyed when he said, 'He [like most critics] has accepted that there is no more originality in movies.' [meaning that The Village was not acknowledged for its originality].

Anyway, I enjoyed this movie right down the parts that have no problem poking fun at the sillyness of the film (although I myself even thought the monologue of the critic was a little much). It was very original and the acting was excellent. 8/10

I thought most of the acting was a joke. Like near the end where the apartment veteran said, "SHUT UP!! And try.." I almost we myself laughing.

The critic was terrible; Sorry, M. Night, but just because you're acknowledging all the things wrong with your movie doesn't forgive you for them.

And what the hell was up with the Philadelphia animal catcher/cop, or whoever he was supposed to be? His acting was horrific. He must have been the friend of a cousin, or something, to get in the movie. ❌

I havn't seen it yet (I'm not even sure if it's released here yet), but I saw the trailer when I was out the other day and it left me confused I'm sure thats the point but after leafing through reviews and the opinions seen here I'm not too excited about it. I'll end up going to see it but well, I'm not gonna wait on tenderhooks.

I guess I meant Paul Giamatti. He was simply amazing.

Giamatti was the light.

Also the fact that this actually had monsters in it, instead of a retarded guy was nice.

The movie actually justifies the article in Entertainment Weekly from a couple weeks back or whatnot where M. Night was crying because everybody hated his script 😄
