The Village thread

'cause I just read about the ending and it's totally gay.

so sad. another weak end to a concept that 'could' rock.
Don't spoil it for me, i'll get the unofficial peoples choice release.

I just got back from seeing it. I liked it.

I want to see it. I just hate going to movies their first weekend. Too many people.

yea, it's definitely hilarious.

saw the movie about 9 hrs ago or so...my math is fucked. i can see that the book ending (assuming the movie followed the book truly) would be wierd.

the movie is great. i enjoy movies with little dialogue and much suspense, so this one was perfect. it's like a cross between sleepy hollow and the sixth sense.

it's different and won't disapoint...worht the 7 bucks

yeah saw it tonight at the drive in, sooo dissapointed with the ending .... Did anyone else think the noise from the forest sounded like a dinosaur?

I liked it. Not sure why but I figured it out kinda early. Maybe because it was a M. Night Shyamalan picture I just expected something. <-

i saw it tonight also and liked it. best part was ivy though..

Just got back from the 10:00 show. I really liked it, but I had 5 martinis beforehand, so I also really liked the trailers, and the "please turn off your cell phone" announcement. I am a M. Night fan, but the ending gave itself away about 30 minutes before the big reveal anyway...

See this just for Ivy... Wow!

Just like with Signs....it started out well and just got worse and worse.

This is a pretty interesting criticism of Shyamalan.

Sounds like a political parable to me.

That's what I'm saying.

MORE BROAD PLEASE

Im going to see it in about 15min.

haaaaaaahahaha.

I warned my little brothers away from this picture for weeks but the group of young women they were with wanted to see it so they relented. They called me this morning vowing to never ignore my advice again.

I think I'm going to wait for rental of this one. Or...catch it in a plane or hotel.


Maybe after this last picture of his The Masses will stop buying into M. Night Shqyywaywyqyasyaysan's scams.

exactly ........the ending really sucked...........i never saw any movie where once the credits came on, people were already trying to leave, the lights didnt even come on yet


im gonna read the book, i wonder how accurate this was as compared to the movie

i liked it, but then i like his other movies. they are different and fun to watch every once in awhile

Eh... it wasn't bad.

But I do have to say that M. Night Sillylongname's cameo was priceless. I think that was the best crafted part of the movie.

Yup. I pretty much yawned through every other M. Night Shamalamadingdong film, but that was just... cinematic excellence.

I took my wife to see "The Village" tonight. She enjoyed it but I would have rather been raped by a chainsaw.

Jesus Christ M. Night Shyamalan is a one trick motherfucking pony, granted it was shot and acted beautifully, he simply has the worst endings in movie history. Yes, I liked the Sixth Sence and didn't see it coming, but Unbreakable and Signs just drove me to hate the hype and twist factor. In the Village I could totally see it coming from a mile away and others I know say the same thing. He could be the next fucking Kubrick-- he has the style and techinque down pat, now he just needs help in the script selection or execution process. What a beautiful piece of crap.

I think Ron Howard's daughter would be one reason to see it-- a great up-and-coming actor, and the technical reasons (shots, acting, editing).
