Could this be Shyamalan's first bomb? Oh no!

The fact is, it's an OK movie (it's not his best work and it's not his worst) and if you liked Unbreakable, you'll like this just as much if not a little more. It's worth seeing if you have a taste for these psychological horror films. Otherwise, if you want to see a truly great movie this weekend, see The Manchurian Candidate.

Then again it only played in 43 theaters.

 

[The Promised One]

I think fans of his movies will like it, since it will have the Shamalammadingdong flavor to it. Those who didn't like say, Signs or Unbreakable though, will probably either hate it, or just think it's ok.

Or you could be like me, who liked Signs and Unbreakable, but thinks The Village sucks.

 

[Matt]

Well, I hated Signs, liked Unbreakable, and loved The Sixth Sense. How will I feel about this movie?

 

[AssMan]

Harold and Kumar go to White Castle got a B where I live. What did it get on Rottentomatoes?

 

[Lil' Dice]

I'm kinda tired of Shamalan, or whatever the fuck his name is. His movies are so formulaic that they're not appealing to me any more.

Lemme guess, build up suspense for 1:45 minutes, then reveal something "SHOCKING!!" in the last 5 minutes....

 

[Solid]

I must see this. Signs is one of my favorite movies ever.

Damn you and your breaking of my stereotypes!! Damn you to HELL!!!

Or you could be like me, who hated ALL of them!

I like the way you think.

Somebody needs to run a regression analysis.

it makes sense.

Signs is crappier the more I think about it.

Unbreakable was dissapointing after...

Sixth Sense, which was really well done.

All the movies have a certain level of quality, but past Sixth Sense, the plot just starts sucking IMO as the movie goes on. I bet The Village will be really good until the plot starts to unravel about 80% in, and then the movie will go to pieces

 

[6.8]

48% now hohoho

 

[RiZ III]

I thought the movie wasn't that bad.

According to CNN: Review: 'The Village' Shyamalan's best film yet

I didn't know that girl was Ron Howards daughter? Hes got a hot daughter damn it.

 

[Error Macro]

"Every village needs an idiot -- and M. Night Shyamalan is hoping it's you."

Haha, oh boy. It's down to 44% now.

 

[Alucard]

I'll likely see it tomorrow and form my own opinion. Heh.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

i'll be checkin' it out for myself tomorrow.

 

[Gattsu25]

Signs = decent....good if you don't think and shite if you do
Sixth Sense = average and over-rated...one "boo" moment in the whole flick and predictable
Unbreakable = awesome...slow pacing but RAWK

 

[Dreamfixx]

I really hope it's not as bad as they're making it out to be
