My boyfriend who is 27 LOVED it. I`m 24 and didn`t like it as much. It is a great movie for teens, but lets just say it`s different.
This movie was a BIG disappointment. I am a huge fan of Night`s, and have loved all his other films, but this one is the slowest, most unexciting of them all. There is no suspense, no surprises, and no big finish. I sure hope Night`s next movie gets back to what he has done in the past. Save your money.
I think the movie was well done. It kept you in suspence,it is definately a thriller!
I am a fan of M.Night`s movies. I really enjoyed this movie, I was interested the whole time, and really like how M.Night`s movies really take you in. It was really good.
The Movie has spirit and heart. There is an emotional sense of discovery as the story unfolds with the "tenant` discovering their own special place in the world. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Hoorah to "Warner Bros." for supporting M. Night S. Surfer
this movie is by far the worst movie directed. it nearly made me fall asleep. absolutely not worth my time. *yawn*. please do yourself a favor and dont watch it
Incredibly brilliant. this guy is a genius.
Intresting story. M. Night is a good story teller. Though not as good as his earlier films.
great movie! 5 stars
Lady in the Water is the best movie ever made! Everything about it wis 100% perfect. It was... a very different movie. I felt light-footed when I came out of the theaters. Got home and was like:.....Wow..I gotta see that movie again. And I did. The movie itself made me feel stange. AT one point in the movie, I just didn`t know what to think. Happy, thrilled, excited, sometimes confused(which i didn`t mind,)sad, and baffled by how well the movie was made. Now i know alot of people didn`t like Lady in the Water, but that`s easy to see. Shyamalan`s movies are very unique, stange and different. If you liked The Village or Signs, then you`ll love
Intriguing and different. Viewer must have patience to reach the moral of the "story".
Loved it.
Excellent movie. Like his previous movies Night ties in all the characters together at the end of the movie. You need to let go of your typical Hollywood expectation of movies when you are watching movies directd by Night. Great movie...for concioulsly evolved..
I did think that this was and is an OK,and not a bad Movie at all. I saw it on the first showing on opening day. However I don`t believe that this Movie was better though than the director`s other previous films he has made like Sixth Sense, and others. I thought it had a weird story line though. I thought that the 2 main actors did a good job on portraying their character roles. It was still not a bad Movie at all. In some ways this film was also funny in some parts.
mysterious
tres belle scene
It was hard to follow the story, things seemed unclear and confusing and also just plain strange. I don`t think the movie managed to really portray that other world very well. I just didn`t buy the story.
This was another original story well done, both my wife and I enjoyed it. They seemed to have some boom mic problems ;) but all in all it was money well spent.
Some funny lines about writers in this movie and M.Knight has his first major role in one of his movies. Though movie is not as ggodd as his earlier films.
Another great movie from Shyamalan. Lady in the Water is..is..so diferent..in a good way. AT the same time, I felt happy, sad, excited, realaxed, and thrilled. So many emotions were mixed in at the same time during this movie. Lady in the Water truly is an incredible experience, even if you are just watching it on a big screen. Half the time, I felt like I was in the movie! Five star Film!
The movie..awesome! The plot..awesome!.. The actors..awesome(especially Howard(Story).) The cover of the movie..awesome! In other words, Lady in the Water was and or is an Incredible story/fable/movie!!
As I was coming out of the theater the night I saw Lady in the Water, I felt like I was floating in the air. And then I was like..wow! Did I really just see a movie that top notch perfect?! Lady in the Water is truly a wonderful movie. And if there was a better word for perfect, I`d use it this comment.
people who don`t like lady in the water might have problems.....maybe i have problems for liking..loving the movie toooo much. lady in the water is the best movie in the world...UNIVERSE!
you either like lady in the water, or you like lady in the water..no doubt about it!!!!
Wow. That movie is so wierd...and so goood! I want to just keep seeing it and seeing it and seeing it! Heck, how can you not like Lady in the Water! It should be against the law to give it a bad rating(not really.) I can`t think of another movie that comes even close to being as good as Lady in the Water. 5big, red stars!
good entertainment but slow and too long
A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE!!! This film is truly hypnotic in the way the story unfolds by M.Night`s fashion of suspense, forboding atmosphere, and good old-fashioned film making techniques. Its clear that "fan`s of his" will enjoy this film, while most, I admit, WILL NOT connect and find its audience as his previous efforts had; simply by the subject matter presented. I for one, have enjoyed this original and mesmerizing fable. Check it for yourself!!!
Another success for M.Night! A wonderful movie filled with hope, imagination and healing. He has a real talent for putting humour into suspense. We`d see it again in a minute, a real keeper.
NO MOVIE TOPS LADY IN THE WATER! AwEsOmE!!!!!!
Very disappointing. Paul Giamatti is the only true gem of this movie. The story itself was not very interesting and did not make a whole lot of sense at times. Rent this one instead of seeing it at the theatre.
Captivating movie, keeps you in suspense until the end. Definitely the thumbs up for this one.
A very "intelligent" movie where the real world meets the fairy tale world in a very unique way, helping each other out in this time of chaos and uncertainity. Gripping story and solid acting by everyone. Fatima
A good Movie
At first when i saw the commerical i didnt get. I read the info about the movie and i still didnt get so i read it one more time and slowoly and i started to get. When i saw the comerical for lady in the wate, i thought it was a scary film which most people think. But if you acutally red the info about lady in the water you think that it si nto scary and its more adventureous.
pleasantly surprised....enjoyed it immensely.....great way of slowly drawing out the bedtime story!
I thought this movie was great. If your one of those people who are into the average kinda film...this is not for you! Let me get this straight....don`t go into the movie thinking of it as a horror/action flick. Really it`s a modern day fable/bedtime story which i thought was well scripted and played. I give this movie thumbs up!
In a world where blowing things up is the norm in movies ....I found this movie to be both heart warming and entertaining . Excellent !! 5 stars definately
Not just another horror flick. A true original
i loved this movie. You really must go into it with an open mind. Once again I am amazed at the storytelling of this talented director. Some of the acting was less than perfect, and M. Night really needs to learn that he should stay behind the camera not in front. Bryce Dallas Howard is awesome. This movie isn`t for everyone, but those who like it will like it a lot. I went with 5 people and 4 of the 5 loved it.
Shyamalan is an excellent storyteller and I`ve always enjoyed his explorations of modern mythology and the supernatural.
Excellent story teller. Clever in his writing.
This movie is Shi*
Awesome movie. Must see. Good story, well developed characters, and excellent cast.
AWESOME.....INCREDIBLE...FANTASTIC...GREAT...EXELLENT...SUPERB....well you get the point. Loved how all the creatures were made up by Shyamalan. Great fable. Loved the the acting. Can`t wait till it comes out on dvd, but until then, I`ll keep seeing it in the theaters!!! I give Lady in the Water 5 sparkling stars! Wahoo!
That was the best movie Iv`e ever seen in my life! Already seen it twice. I hate looking at the votes that said the movie sucked(because it didn`t.) And alot of people I know didn`t like it cause they thought it was going to be scary, but I don`t think Shyamalan wanted it to be a horror movie. Lady in the Water was very unique in its own way:funny, surprising, mysterious, and at times a little scary, but over all, it was an awesome fable(5stars.) Oh, and it wasn`t a waste of time, money, or casts! The Village and Signs were also godd movies, but not as good as Lady in the Water.
This is by far, the best movie that M. Night Shyamalan has made and it was more better than The Village.
MYSTICAL!!!
For all of you who hated all of the MNS movies but the sixth sense, learn a lesson. His movies aren`t for you. for those of us that like it, you`re all a big pain in the neck...
You call this a Good Movie? I was not impressed with the beginning, middle, or the so called climax ending. This is the worst movie ever.
The only awards this movie would win would be WORST MOVIE of the year.
