:lol: Some critics get carried away and advise movies they love because of new directing techniques and editing and that sort of thing, technical stuff we donā€™t really care about. Every year they ask critics the greatest movie of all time and what finishes first every timeā€¦Citizen Kane. Not a bad movie, but not the greatest either. Kind of boring in fact. ---

I will back my fellow Kirupian with the wild footer. This movie licks bags. All the hype and the previews had me believing I will see the movie of the summer. Itā€™s crap, there are no mind-blowing special effects, no great original ideas, nothing. A bunch of great names will get affiliated with this garbage. Maybe if you rent it on DVD it will not seem as a letdown. But for $9.00 a person, I say itā€™s crap. I am not a movie critic, but I earn my money and when it is spent on movie, which doesnā€™t amuse, amaze or at least stimulate me, I get pissed. As great as the sixth sense was, and as much hype as this movie got, it is very poor. I hope you will save your money and watch Manchurian Candidate instead, at least Denzel Washington can pull off the PTSD look. ---

I saw it. And, well, I thought it was alright. Like all Shyamalan movies it has a twist that could not be predicted, at least not by me. Overall, I gave it **[COLOR=Gray]**\*[/COLOR] šŸ˜‰ Cā€™mon people, donā€™t be so gullibleā€¦ go and check it out for yourself. ---

the movie should have came with a Money Back Guarantee. The only attention grabbing detail was to figure out where Shyamalan was going to appear. ---

I didnā€™t like american pie, and when I saw the previews for this movie I thought it looked like as\*\*\*\*\*\*s and Iā€™m going to avoid it, as you said, like the plague. I canā€™t stand M. Night Shamalan. Or whatever the hell his name is. edit: and I didnā€™t like american pie 2 either. they were some of the most boring movies I know ---

I never thought this movie was going to be a smash hit. In the trailer, when the lady totally exagerrates her whisper by saying donā€™t let them in. Souned uber-cheesy. ---

thought it was In My Humble Opinion. Hm I like honest better. Actually I like IMO. But thats just opinion. And american pie was talked about earlier, that critics hated it, and we should hate critics cause they are dumb or something. I like critics, but i also dont; I lvoed signs till I read maddoxā€™s review šŸ˜› ---

I read a lot of reviews and REALLY didnā€™t want to go. But despite that, my roommate dragged me to it. I was pleasently surprised. I didnā€™t expect much at all, but itā€™s not a bad movie. You just have to put it in itā€™s place. Sweet twists. ---

I think hearing and reading all the bad reviews about this movie so soon after it came out helped lower my expectations and somehow made it better for me? I just went to see it, thinking it was gonna be a total waste of time, but I actually liked it. It was predictable, but entertaining nonetheless. Not the greatest, but ok. ---

I loved it actually. I loved Bryce Dallas Howard in it, she was awesome. She made the big name actors look pale in comparison. I loved the story, the message behind the movie, and everything. If I was going into it thinking it was a horror movie, maybe my opinion would have been different though, because to me, it was anything but a horror movie. Also, the ā€œtwistā€ in this movie was obvious from the beginning. But it was still an awesome movie, and Iā€™m definitely adding it to my DVD collection. šŸ™‚ [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/the-village/117802.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/the-village/117802.md?page=3)
