Absymal Disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (14 June 2008)

Seriously, 844 10/10 ratings? I realize this site is overrun with ignorant kids that have absolutely no respectable insight into film history, but come on. This movie is absolutely abominable. I got a really good laugh out of a board topic claiming that the people that didn't like it are brainless. What's there to actually think about in this movie? M. Night Shyamalan's trail of movies is progressively getting worse. This is literally his most abysmal attempt at entertaining people with his imagination and failing miserably. There isn't a single believable character in this movie, the dialogue is hokey and unfunny, the story goes literally nowhere, after keeping the audience waiting for about an hour for something remotely interesting to happen, the movie just ends with the most predictable and slapstick possible ending, there's no trademark twist, every single death scene was dragged out apparently just to get the unnecessary R-rating, the bizarre "phenomena" isn't even remotely thought-provoking, the fact that it causes people to kill themselves isn't frightening because this poses absolutely no threat to the main characters and the single most important scene that involves humans being their own worst enemies is completely marred by a poorly executed buildup.
Kids, seriously. I realize you are narrow-minded about your opinions, but you will think twice when you get older and look back on this movie.
