if you like a cheap "it was alllll a dreaaaaaaam!" type ending. then yeah, it was perfect.

i was expecting something much more intelligent from him than that.

plus, it's not like a shocking revelation it kinda comes in stages. so you're just like 'mhmm..okay...right...sure, whatever' and then you're over it.

but you are entitled to your opinion and i'm glad you liked it :P

I enjoyed this movie. Now I was a little disapointed to find out it wasnt a horror or sci-fi. But i thought the whole plot/storyline and the was it was portrayed was actualy very intellegent and different... ( I didnt figure out the whole movie before it was over)
I like original movies, and compared to some out there, this one did it for me.

I still wanted to see someone mauled.

I had inklings as soon as they mentioned "the towns".

Not horrible, but I've definately seen better movies. And the Sixth Sense was much much better.

[fadedsignal]

The Village is more realistic than the Sixth Sense. :340:

i hope to hell that you're being sarcastic.

if you aren't being sarcastic:

sure, not all movies are meant to be realistic, but for a movie to be successful they have to get the audience to suspend their disbelief by making it all as real as possible.

even for shit like spider-man and tomb raider where you know that it could never happen, the director is trying to portray it in such a way so that when you watch it you DO believe that it's happening.

u hope to hell? yes u r rite. i was being sarcastic.

on the other hand i was shocked fadedsignal found the movie good but everybody has their difference of opinions.

My review:

Score: 1 (Interesting)

I liked the main character a lot. The concept worked for a bit, but got a bit boring as it was the only thing really going for it. It wasn't as good as I'd heard it would be, but it wasn't as bad as some have said either. Worth seeing on cheap movie night, or downloading. I wouldn't recommend much else.

Hey Erik, remember after the movie...

Angus: Woah, it's like an aircraft carrier...
Erik: Wait! Its a good thing I have the safe colour!
