Spoiler...The Villiage

[Preniers]

Ok I saw it today and I'm just wondering, I'm a little confused, do the people who live there fake their own deaths and move there or do their families die?

I'm serious, has anyone seen it?

They diddn't fake their deaths, not many people died from the "creatures" and if they did it was just an accident and they said it was the creatures, like what happened with the slow guy. The people moved there to create their own "Society". If you bloody listened you would of heard them all talking about how people around them had died because of the modern society, so they created their own where nothing bad would happen.

they basically created their own society to 'protect innocence'

i saw it tonight at La Premire fox studios, not a bad movie however draggged on a bit and the ending was abrupt

is it scary?? cos im bad at scary movies and my b/f really wants to see it, and i don't wanna scream in the middle of a crowded theatre like i did in "the ring" #-o

 

[Preniers]

Not really, few jumpy bits but not scary.

 

[Tidus_Raider]

I reckon that twist was cool. Out of nowhere you see that cop car and your like WTF?...Cool movie.

f**k that movie was terrible. You didn't predict that twist? I wish the movie had been about what it purported to be. Dissapointing.

I had picked it before I read this post, just after reading reviews.

Honestly M Night Shamawhatever has spent ages trying to live up to 'The 6th Sense'. 'Unbreakable' and 'Signs' went nowhere near it, and now this is another one.

(Not saying I didn't enjoy Signs, just the twists were nothing like 6th Sense).

 

[mullet]

the twist in setting was dodgy, the end was crap

 

[PJ Marshal]

Sounds like it had a ending just as lame as signs...... :roll:

I was looking forward to seeing this film after the directors previous successful efforts. But, unfortunately this is his worst effort. Shyamalan's films have got progressively worse since his breakthrough success with "The Sixth Sense". Here are my thoughts on his movies.

1. The Sixth Sense = Classic.
2. Unbreakable = Very good, but not classic.
3. Signs = Good, but below his other efforts.
4. The Village = Well below Shyamalan's standard.

The movie has some very jumpy moments. Normally, I would classify that as a good movie, but "The Village" is missing something. Unfortunately, it has a lot more corny than jumpy moments. There was a quick scene right at the beginning which made the cinema erupt with laughter, and I'm not talking about Adrien Brody's silly laughter either. People who have seen the movie know what I mean.

NONE of the performances impressed me at all. This is mostly due to bad writing on the directors part. Phoenix showed nothing, Hurt was bland, Brody was stupid and there were scenes where Bryce Dallas Howard forgot she was blind. If you want to see a great performance of a blind character, see Pacino in "Scent of a Woman".

It seems that Shyamalan relies too much on a twist to make the movie. Unlike Chris, I did'nt predict any of the twists in this one. It will be interesting to conduct a poll on which twists people did predict in his earlier films. I'll conduct that later. BTW Chris, I'll have to have a chat with you to see which ones you guessed. I can't discuss the meaning of the twists here, as I'll spoil the movie for people wanting to see it. On the other hand, I could be saving some potential viewers some money .

Shayamalan tries to be philosophical with this one. His message is great, just not carried out well. The movie should have been far better than what it turned out to be.
Rating : 4 out of 10

Here is my strike rate.

1. The Sixth Sense : Did'nt predict it.
2. Unbreakable : Did'nt predict it.
3. Signs : Did'nt predict it.
4. The Village : Did'nt predict it.

Im 0/4. I'd like to see your strike rate.

 

[Preniers]

I predicted a few of the twists here.

OK can someone explain to me the twist in Signs? I've seen it more than once and I can't work it out. Is the twist simply that everything happens for a reason (the water, the baseball bat, etc) because if it is, it's lame.
