Loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2008)

I've been reading a lot of other comments about this movie, I disagree. M. Night Shyamalan is a different kind of writer, and his movies cannot be predicted by really anyone. The trailers depicted it as nothing really. They gave no indication to it's genre except sci-fi. And sci-fi can go so many different directions, from Event-Horizon and Star Trek to the cartoon The Iron Giant. The point of a trailer is to catch people's eyes; not to tell what the movie is about or else no one would need to go see the movie. If a person goes into the movie theatre thinking they know what it is about (and that is the reason they went in the first place because they liked the idea that they came up with and they want to see the movie), then they get disappointed and come to places like this where they can review it and they bash it. If your review is a legitimate review about the movie and not about the sad disappointment because of the trailer, then should have all means to write whatever you want about it. I just want people to understand the fundamental flaw of trailers. No one can tell the story of a 2 hour long movie in 45 seconds of a trailer, and if they do then the movie probably sucks anyway. Movies go into depth so don't rely on the trailers. The only thing that I knew going in to see this movie was that it was his first R rated film. And that can mean anything as well. I didn't take my predictions into the theatre with me and I loved it. Very original and the message is very relevant for today's world.
