Great film, even if it was made by Disney...

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2000)

This movie has done what few movies have been able to do: Keep me interested, without any mind-blowing special effects. It had a few effects, mostly gore and such, but overall, the cinema-photography, a deeper-than-first-glance plot, and stirring film score gave this movie my high rating.
The cinema-photography was excellent. Mr. Shyamalan (The Director) really knows how to compose a scene, so that you understand not only what the script is telling you, but what the director wants you to feel.
The plot was great, as well. I won't give the major surprises away, in case some of you have yet to see it, but suffice it to say, I haven't seen a plot this involving and deep in a very long time. And just when you think you can't possibly be more emotionally drained, the end comes, and you want to go right back to the ticket office, and buy another go-around.
The music was also very touching. Written by James Howard, (Who also did the music for Disney's recent "Dinosaur") the score moves you almost as well as the storyline. The themes presented seamlessly integrate with the events unfolding before your eyes...
I believe most people who have seen this film will agree with me...
And those who have yet to see this movie... What are you doing here?!? Go out and get tickets, while you still can!
