M.Night himself did say that The Villiage is "more of a" romantic/drama than anything else. I'm seeing this later today so I'll judge for myself. |
It Takes A Village

Yoda I agree with your take on the movie, for the most part. I'll say a major disapointment for me was the character of Noah. I think Adrien Brody did a good job with what he was given, but his character became unbelievable during the end of the film. I also thought the twist was foreshadowed too much. I had a pretty good idea about what it was about 2/3 of the way through the film. But all and all it was a good effort.

the village
Hey, I'm new. :) The reason I joined because I have a lot to say about The Village.
I have to start by saying first that I am a huge Shyamlan fan. He grabbed my attention because I am from the Philly area, so it is really cool to see someone from the same area making great movies and in the Philadelphia area. When the movie ended I knew people were either going to love it or hate it. Most of the people I saw it with didn't like it, and I said something similar to what Yoda mentions in his review - there is a lot of pressure of Shyamalan to out do himself, to make an even bigger twist to amaze the audience. If this movie didn't have his name attached to it, I think the reaction would be totally different. I think the way the movie was marketed is misleading. It was made out to be a very horror-filled film, with Joaquin Phoenix playing a large role. I think that threw a lot of people off. I found this movie to be unique. It may not have been as scary as people were expecting, but I think it delivers as a film that keeps you thinking. I read a review that said this was "hands down the worst film of the year." I think that is absolutely rediculous. Shyamlan wrote a directed a beautiful film that, if anything, fell victim to misleading advertising but if the audience can get over that, they will see an intriguing film. Mandee. :) |
Here's a quote from the film:
"Try your best not to scream..." I need not try... hands down, this movie su-ucked! -1/10 I look at it this way... it's basically a scarier version of Scooby-Doo... minus Scooby and the gang and the word "scarier". The only good actor was Adrian Brody, who was in fact retarded. (Now I'm going to get lynched for saying "retarded") If you liked this film, you might as well like every bad movie Hollywood has produced... *cough cough* Caddyshack II... |
What a piece of sh*t !!!
When walking in to see The Villiage, I automatically had a sense of discomfort. I sat down with my 44 oz. Root Beer and 8" Xtra cheeze pizza while the lights dimmed and got ready. Noah (Adrian Brody) seemed to be somewhat of a waste of character for this movie. The character that really stood out , was Ivy Elizabeth Walker (Bryce Dallas Howard). She literally stole the show. The Villiage dragged on too much in some places, it was very predictable, and as for the ending????? Please, don't get me started. The ending was terrible!!! I didn't see any "twist" ending people say this movie supposedly has. The best part of the whole entire experience???? The Batman Begins teaser trailer of course :cool: The Villiage - for the teaser. |
