i hated the village because of the terrible acting, writing, plot devices, ....and the the fact i thought it was something other then what it actually was? (a good movie)

I didnt hate The Village, nor did I love it. Not nearly as bad as it's reputation, but not very good by any means. The ending was the only part that I really hated, otherwise I enjoyed most of it. If they could have though of a better way to tie it up at the end, it could have been pretty good.

I wait for the rental too, but I have to say that the Village was a mess too!

i 2nd that... the trailer was a tease, but of course all trailer's are. the only thing i was really disappointed about was that i figured out the ending about 40 minutes into the movie. over all i'd give it a 6.5 or 7 out of 10. definately m night's worst movie, but over all not a shitty movie.

:cool:I've seen the trailers and read a review of what the movies is about so being a fan of M's, I will go see it.

M night should just write childrens horror movie for 5 year olds

i live in atlanta and on the ride into work i was listening to 99x's morning show. the hosts were interviewing brice howard (she plays the narf, story in the movie) and she said, "there is no twist in lady in the water." now this could be another promotional tool (she said it w/ such conviction), but i could be reading too much into it. what does everyone else think?

Well I watched Regis and Kelly this morning because they had Paul Giamatti and Kevin Smith on the show. Giamatti answered a few questions they had about the movie then said and I quote..''I don't wanna say too much about it because of all the twists.'' So considering Shyamalan's track record and Giamatti's comment, I'd say she's bluffin.

its too bad this guy has to rely on bullshit to sell a film these days.

he should just make good movies and they'll sell themselves.

I don't think he's bullshitting, it's not like he was refusing to talk about it or made a big deal about it like some actors/directors do. He answered quite a few questions before saying he didn't want to give anything away.
