The Cinematography, the Score and the Performances were great! Especially Bryce Dallas Howard. Adrien Brody and Joaquin Phoenix, were also good and so was Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt, even when they`re on for a second, they gave it their all. Mr. Shymalan, will get back up, in his next film, I`m sure. But this one was a dissapointment, other than the 3 elements I`ve said, the story is where it falls short. 3.5/5
Amazing movie! Two Thumbs up!
Very Diffrent to how it was portrade on the preview and a bit slow, Not a Scary Movie, a little suspence, Good acting,Wouldn`t rush back to see it again.
Really liked it. Better than Signs. Can`t wait to buy it!
It was so very predictable and almost laughable. I really can`t say I`ve seen a dumber storyline. The acting was ok - I didn`t know the blind girl was Ron Howard`s daughter. She really is not that believable as a blind person. I would`t recommend this movie to anyone and anyone who liked it really should see some better movies!
~BORING~NOT SCARY @ ALL~
Predictible & not scary.
Knowing who the director of this movie is one has to expect the unexpected. There were definite signs (pun not intended) of his handiwork, as the colors red and yellow were very "out there." [After seeing the "Coles" notes on "The Sixth Sense," I realized this movie wasn`t just another suspense/thriller.] Confusing at first, it soon becomes apparent, M. Night Shyamalan has a message to give. With some humor, some startling moments, and much seriousness, the statement is solid and enjoyable. It isn`t a movie everyone will love. For me, it wasn`t until the Shyamalan specialty, the twist at the end, that I decided it was a movie I`d buy on
it was the best moive ever
Amazing movie. The best ever
I never vote or make comments on movies as I believe we all have individual preferences. This movie compelled me to speak. Who are the people that actually liked this movie? They must be relatives of the director. The acting of the lead young male and female were the only good aspects. This was the worst movie I have ever seen. Save your money, this one is not even worth renting.
It`s the type of film that either you will hate it and think the twist was lame or you find the twist incredibly intriguing. Myself, I found it intriguing, lots to think about afterwards. The writing was very smart, the acting dead on and the music was incredible. OVerall a very enjoyable film. Not scary, more of a drama thriller.
Ok... where to start... the movie was complete garbage. The plot disappointing, and the " big twist " was ...Big deal? I would not recommend this movie to anyone because I would like to see their 14$ put to good use, not being used for flop movies like this! Overall rating: Half a star. This movie was not what it was made out to be, too bad.
Understand that M. Night Shyamalan has never made a bad movie, in my eyes. With that in mind, I did not enjoy "The Village" quite as much as "The Sixth Sense" or "Signs". The pace is a bit slow, and the twist seems a bit tacked on at the end. I did like the way that most of the terror lurks "just off screen" for most of the movie - Shyamalan is a master at that technique, and used it very well in this work.
A mediocre film although the story was superb...the twist could have been much more than how it was chosen to be presented...the cast was fantastic especially the `blind` heroine...the tension could have been kicked up a few notches but the slow parts of the film kept the movie from moving...Night`s "Signs" & "Sixth Sense" were much better films
It was really amazing....GO SEE IT!!!
This movie was absolutley horrible!!! wasnt scary at all....but the acting was good..... but the overall movie was garbage...... dont waste you`re money...... rent it if you think you may like it ...... but dont pay movie fee`s to watch........ big disappointment!!
This movie is a must see. You know how all movies are pretty much predictable because they have all been done before? Well this movie is different. It`s a very well written thriller disguised as a horror film. Anyone who gave this movie a bad rating obviously wanted to see someone die in the opening scene with a lot of laughable horror scenes but this movie is totally the opposite. It builds up the suspense and then it hits you even harder. The twist in the plot will blow you away.
The ending is great, but overall it moves along too slow.
I went to this movie with two teenagers and all three of us did not like it. I was restless throughout the movie for I did find it quite boring.
Hmm....The main plot was pretty much predictable however the `other plot` is pretty darn weird or should i say dumb?
genius
Stupid. Worst movie of the century!
It was the worst movie ever! I`m still waiting to be haunted. Also, it had the stupidest ending. I feel sorry for anyone who liked it.
Okay...was this supposed to be a Thriller flick? Everyone in the threatre, including myself were laughing at the cheezy lines, slow pace, gazing moments between the characters and the `monsters`! It was more like a slow romance movie that not even a girl could possibly enjoy. Predictable and a waste of money! I will also add, maybe some other people out their felt the same as I...how/why did Adrien Brody down grade from his Oscar winning performance in The Pianist to his role in The Village?
Boring, slow, predictable, and a terrible twist and plot = Terrible movie that drained 2 hours form my life
Good movie, but definately not what I was expecting from seeing the previews. Not a scary movie at all.
he`s done it again, M.Night Shamylan has brought suspense thrillers to a new level. The Village is not only and mind boggling, edge of your seat thriller, but also a love story that gives the movie interest and a wonderful plot.
definitely top 3 of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life
i didn`t understand the whole last half and how it tied in...must have missed something i guess?!?!
This was the worst movie of the summer! M. Night Shyamalan owes me 120 minutes of my life back! It was slow and the acting was absolutely horrible. And the story was soooo lame. The only good thing that I can say about this mindless dribble was the acting by Ron Howards daughter was excellent. Save your money!!
Not the best of M. Night`s films. I thought the movie was slow and didn`t have enough suspense. As an M. Night Shyamalan fan, i was kinda dissapointed, but the cast was great!
This Movie really disappointed me.
An awesome movie! An amazing message! This movie makes you think what the world is all about!
Great Movie, Good Twists, The director made excellent points about everyday living today, all morals and respect for one another are not what they used to be, they should show this film in school. Think alot of people can learn from it!
I had higher hopes for Shyamalan`s new movie The Village. It`s still worth seeing and if you`re any astute observer of the world, societies and governments you`ll see some hidden truth to a lot of what happens in the movie. And that, of course, will add to your enjoyment of it. If you`re looking for a thriller or action movie, this is not that kind of movie. Still, it`s a good movie, but the Director could`ve done more with his resources and talent.
It wasn`t wat i expected.. i found it boring..
A different kind of pacing , an unforseen ending and a really nice love story.
Not that bad of a movie. I really liked it up until the twist. Signs still has to be the best Shyamalan movie yet.
Too intelligent for mindless slasher fans - a classic suspense piece that lets the imagination to its stuff, as Jaws first did in the 1970`s. It all works except the story itself could have climaxed earlier to then deal further with the dilemma faced by the main characters when revelation strikes. It surprised me in being well thought through and quite original, for a change. If you like horror, teen killer flicks or even action drama - this will dissapoint. If you like a great short story with both tension and surprise jolts on film, enjoy.
I thought this was a very stupid movie, it had nothing to it. I big waste of time and money. And also very slow moving.
This was the worst movie ever cast. It was so incredibly boring. It wasnt scary and well overall it had no point. It was very stupid and a waste of time and money. Very Dissapointed!
I was very dissappointed in this movie. Certainly the poorest of M. Night Shyamalan`s films. At best, rent this one folks. Unfortunately it doesn`t come anywhere near the hype.
I liked this film. I thought the twist was original. There were a few very scary parts, so scary even my boyfriend jumped and screamed at one of the parts. I give it 4 ****
I really liked this movie. The twists made the movie all the more better. It kept me guessing. It`s a lot like the type of movie "Unbreakable" is. very well written and very well acted. Unfortunately, by brother has been waiting a very long time to see this movie. He was a bit dissapointed and I ended up likeing it more than he did! Oh, well... Very well done!
one of the best movies this year
This movie was the biggest waste of time. I will never get those two hours of my life back. SOOO not what you expect...and such a disappointment.
very disapointing, there was no point to the movie at all, i kept looking at my watch 2 c how much time was left and i found myself wondering how the movie was gonna pick up, seeing as how there was about 20 minutes left when i last checked my watch. worst movie i have ever paid for
has its scary points and the concept was pretty good... not much of a twist though and kinda stupid
the final twist was good but doesn`t justify sitting through the first 1hr 45min
