this has got to be the worst film ever made....


Well one of them. I get that M Night is trying to make a fairy tale. But Fairy tales need a light touch and most of the time Fairy tales have pretty simple stories. Think about Edward Scissorhands.



But this, the story is so idiotic and yet the movies takes it so seriously. Bryce Dallas Howard and Paul Giamati are so stiff and so dour and yet everyone else in the buildings plays it like live action cartoons.


And that thing with the film critic was idiotic. He refers to himself as a side character, which in the movie he is. But why would some one refer to themselves as a side character, in his life he would be the main character.

The movie critic was a very subtle jab at movie critics who criticized Shaymalan.

Ehr, very subtle?! It's obvious the entire movie is Shamalan fighting out the poor reception of The Village by critics, in this movie. The movie is about how the critic is wrong and Shamalan is a genious. How is that subtle?

The film is beautiful ... The acting is spot on...

I agree with you completely. Just awful.
