The Village
The Village (2004), M. Night Shyamalan:
I remember thinking the trailer for this looked really good, then I heard the collective grumble building up again Mr. Shyamalan. I guess I wasn't really surprised, either; his work has been on a steady decline since The Sixth Sense, and while I still liked Signs, it didn't seem to have the same ease of narration the others had.
I also kept hearing about the twist, and how the people guessed the twist and how it ruined the movie. I guessed the twist halfway through and it was fine. It really seems like people put so much emphasis on the twist when it's just a piece of the whole. The Sixth Sense would still be a great movie without the last five minutes. There's a little stress on the twist here, which I don't like, but I enjoyed it.
10/15
