Shymalan's best since The Sixth Sense

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2008)

I genuinely thought this was a good movie. And you must understand; I am by no means an M. Night fan. I liked The Sixth Sense, but let's face it; Signs was terrible. The Village sucked immensely. After surviving these two stinkbombs, I refused to even consider sitting through Lady in the Water. However, the commercials for this one looked promising; and I was not disappointed. Shymalan actually seems to focus more on intelligent story structure than plot twists for a change. The characters have real dimension and the film even makes a coherent statement on Global Warming! My first thought when the movie ended was "who really directed this movie?" I don't get all the negative reviews; it's not one of the greatest films I've ever seen, but it is an entertaining night out.
