just got back from seeing that…
what a heap o’steaming shite… :fume: :fume: :fume:
Well, it’s not like Bryce Howard has much to her acting credits aside from the fact her father is Ron Howard…
Talk about riding on coattails.
women jealousy aside 
i think this movie was bad on many many points.
the story was crap
the acting was terrible
the cast…oh my god…the cast…
all in all,it was one of the worst movies i’ve ever seen, what a bitter desappointment
i think laws should be made to allow peoples to get refunds on their tickets if they walk out 1/2 way thru the movies
(no i didn’t walk out,shyamalthingy’s movies usually make sense in the last 10 minutes,this one must have got the last 10 minutes chopped off…)
I liked it. I like fairy tales though and this one was like a very strange modern fairy tale. But when I was watching it I got bitten by some sort of bug on my toe and like the last 20 minutes of the movie my toe was in horrible stinging pain and swelled to like double its size on one side and then I got a blister on my toe and it was red and bruised and swollen for like 2 weeks. But other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie (though distracted by pain and thinking my toe was falling off…so I kind of don’t remember the last 20 minutes of the movie)
I loved it. I thought it was a cute, funny fairy tale.
I can’t stand any of M. Night Shabashaba’s (whatever his name is) movies. I honestly don’t know how that guy keeps getting new jobs.
Was this set in Philly like his other pictures?
That crop-sculpting-Mel Gibson-aliens-who-have-mastered-matter-vs. anti-matter-travel-but-can’t-open-the-cellar-door picture was set somewhere else.
I never saw an in-ground pools anywhere in Philly outside the pee filled public pools and the Y.
That’s too bad Night Shamalama ding-dong is taking it in the balls on this picture because The Sixth Sense was a great film.
all his previous pictures were masterpieces…this one however…
Did you see “The Village”?
I thought it was bloody awful, although slightly entertaining in the “could it possibly get any worse” mode of viewing. Ditto for Signs.
I did like The Sixth Sense, though. I forgot it was directed by whatzhisname.
I really, really liked The Villiage.
This wasn’t as good, but I still liked it.
I thought Paul Giamatti did a great job in his role.
A creative take on the “sending-the-visitor-back-home” story.
Not as bad as people make it out to be.
I thought the village was pretty ok. Most people I know hated it though. Unbreakable and Sixth Sense were quite good.
Shyamalan’s spielberg-ish obsession with childhood innocence is getting tiresome and a little creepy.
A grown man should not lie on the couch with his head in an old woman’s lap and eat milk and cookies.
Lady in the Water was a wish-fulfillment fantasy. The hot girl moves in with nerdy guy and hangs around all wet and naked and stuff…Because He is the Chosen One. Also an Evil Movie Critic who probably gave Signs a bad review gets mauled by a grass monster. Oh yeah and he literally casts himself in the role of the Brilliant Writer who Saves the World.
Someone should take away a little of shyamalan’s artistic control before he self-destructs.
Someone should also let a alleviate his head a little. It’s a bit swollen.
If you want to read a much better thought-out version of this plot, read Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. She wrote her story about the characters of a story getting trapped in the real world a few years before this latest in the Shymalan shite pile. Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry is The Village, but also with a better plotline and character development.
Funny that his movies seem almost directly ripped off children’s books. I wonder which kids’ books he got the idea for Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense.
