Stupid Ending for Marginal Movie

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2002)

Well, the honeymoon for Shayamalan since "Sixth Sense" is over.
Forget the boxoffice numbers -- this is a big Shayamalan buildup that leads to a moronic conclusion.
The 'scary things' in this flick came off as tragic and pathetic. Teletubbies would give these creatures a run for their money. Incredibly lopsided, with nothing more than a hint of alien danger. No kidding -- by the end of the movie, I was rooting for the 'bad guys'.

And you will cringe in your seat as badly as I did when you find out what the big-deal, "Swing for the fences" message was all about. The ending was so utterly idiotic that I was embarrassed to have spent money to see it.

M. Night Shayamalan better watch more "Alien" and less "Crossing Over". Because a little more s*** like this, and I will be "crossing over" to watch some other director's movies.
Final verdict: Marginal, occasionally suspenseful fare -- but wait for the video, or you'll be kicking yourself. (You won't see it at the Oscars unless they've been taking stupid pills - guaranteed. And considering that the epic "Road to Perdition" is lagging behind the worst movie of 2002 ("Master of Disguise"), it looks like the youth-saturated audience has already finished the bottle.)
