Disappointment, could've been better. (Spoilers inside)

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2003)

The ending killed it! The moment they revealed the Killer Clown of another planet: the green alien, my interest died, the movie got dropped in the after-hour slot of bland films. The movie would have been really good if it didn't reveal the pathetic, ridiculous, obviously-a-man-in-green-outfit, a big joke alien. Instead, it shouldn't have revealed anything and let the viewers decide for themselves what might be the cause for all the mysterious occurances. The movie at many stages had the potential to be an excellent one. Unfortunately, it resulted in tiire eshe torite duba.
For a moment, I thought that Shymalan's genius was at work again until I realized how far off I was resulting in my thorough disappointment. The glass of water, the lady on the roof, the radio- all slowly built up to the suspense leading or rather misleading to people think that since most people conjecture that crop circles are being created by aliens, the actuality is it is a way for deceased (in this case Mel's wife) to communicate with the living and thus the disappearance of water, apparition on the roof, messages in the radio. That was my expectation. But - NO! He had to kill it revealing some goofy swamp thing like green alien. Like I said before the best ending, in my opinion, would have been if Shymalan revealed nothing keeping the audience guessing what could have been the true reason.
And yes, Shymalan, I am sorry, but the fact that you are just keep on showing up in films just makes it look as if you are really attention seeking and desperate to gain fame in one way or another. If you want to appeal to viewers then better be unseen again keeping them guessing who really is the man behind the great craft (in reference to 6th Sense).
Speaking of which, I think he is getting lazy and bit of lee after that megahit success. If one were to pulverize him for crappy film like Unbreakable - again where the water-as-krypton- factor shows up, he would have started putting more focus and effort on the creativity.

Finally, lord have mercy- but no! please not a sequel!
