I think this was an awesome movie! Bryce Dallas Howard did a great job. I liked the story, it was really interesting. I would definetely see this movie again!
Stupid waste of money. Had it figured out 10 minutes in. Great premise but poorly done. Slow and boring. Don`t even rent it.
I loved it. I don`t understand why some people didn`t!
Just a bit of background info for those reading - I`m 28 yrs old, and I`m an avid moviegoer and critic. I thoroughly enjoyed The Village. The words out of my mouth at the end were "Wow...That was awesome." What I liked best about The Village was that it had an original storyline, and yah, M. Night Shyamalan took a big risk with the twist thing, but it was interesting. The script was a little bit contrived, but Lucius` speech to Ivy on the porch in the misty hours before dawn grabbed my very soul. I was expecting something more scary, but I was satisfied nonetheless. It`s a deeply emotional, thoughtful, stark and unconventional film. Go see it
I thought that it was too predictable. For some reason I figured out the whole thing right at the beginning....
Not impressed with this movie at all. I expected it to be scary but it turned out to be long and boring. Don`t waste your money. Wait for it to come out on video.
Nice little cameo at the end M. Night.....we were all really impressed....such an original idea....moron. stupid stupid movie
The director`s work is usually excellent, and so I really wonder about this film. It is very anti-climactic. It would have been much better had the ending not been explained in such OBVIOUS ways. leave us with something to think about. create an ending in our own minds. everything was in black and white and quite frankly....it was boring. it wasn`t a thriller at all. it was more like a sci-fi drama.
Good theme but watered down and anticlimactic at the end.
The only good part was the ending: I got to leave and go to bed. Bed was more exciting than this boring and predictable movie.
