I wasn't looking forward to anything. It just sucked. Awful dialogue and the so called 'Plot Twist'.
It's the worst movie I have seen this year, and for a long time.
I actually got around to The DaVinci code last night. The term 'Not as good as the book' strongly applies. Almost the entire movie was shot at night, making it very hard to keep close attention to. Shame on you Ron Howard.

Oh, yes. It's originality kept me glued to my seat. I mean, who doesn't want to watch terrible acting, agonizing dialogue, and a plot that could make a four-year-old vomit with disgust? 馃檮

Its a good fantasy flick in my opinion. Its not trying to be realistic and its goal wasn't to "trick" you like his previous movies. The movie is like a puzzle but it doesn't really try a true "plot twist." People only expect a good plot twist because its M. Night. Guess what people, not all movies need a plot twist, so I don't see why people think M. Night's movies need them.
Look at his history:
Unbreakable - Major twist
Sixth Sense - Major twist
Signs - No plot twist (deals with irony, but no actual twist of the plot)
The Village - Major twist (although far inferior to the previous)
Lady in the Water - No plot twist (small twist, but not really a "plot" twist and it was pretty clevor due to the foreshadowing)
In other words, STOP WATCHING M. NIGHT'S MOVIES HOPING PURELY FOR A TWIST! (this is in general to people, not actually aimed at you Dusty, unless you were only watch his movies hoping for twists).
I'm not watching his films for plot twists. I watch them because they draw my attention easily, and I love the characters. However, the fact that
Spoiler:was just so silly, and I didn't care about it enough for it to have any sort of effect on me.
Reggie was the guardian
It was just boring, and funny.

do fairy-tales ever make sense? no, not really, which is what M. Night was going for
Definately "Aliens Gone Wild". Easilly the worst movie ever created. PERIOD. Then it's "Ultraviolet", which is also one of worst movies I've ever seen, but at least had plot. "Superman Returns" was also absolutely terrible. Lex Luther, while grand, couldn't save this movie from being the worst Brian Synger(sp?) movie I ever saw. But, unlike the other two, I've seen worse than the new "Superman" film.
