am i missing something? nope.

Rating: 2/10 (6 January 2006)

right, so this movie is really clever?... at no point are we given any clues regarding the twist... so it could have been anything... how bout i write a movie where a guy tells a story about a heist and all the things that happen, and then everyone gets killed by aliens that appear out of the blue in the last minute of the movie?... what a twist!... you never would have seen that coming! despite that, the ending is very predictable... the fact that kint is the only one left is a dead giveaway... i'm usually terrible at spotting the ending of even the most predictable Hollywood fare, and i had this one pegged 20 minutes from the start...
so is the script any good WITHOUT the twist?... i think quentin Tarantino has got the funny banter between tough guys down pat, but this movie?... total snoozefest... just a bunch of one dimensional hoods engaged in a boring, pointless quest (i couldn't even be bothered to follow the story as without the twist, it's very dull)...
you know, they accuse shyamalam of being a one trick pony, but at least the sixth sense has some good acting, atmospherics, a creepy story and a script... some type of silent fascination...
this movie is unbelievably overrated... i might have given it a 4 or a 5 but it really deserves to be taken down a peg or two, as i cannot see ANY justification for this being in the IMDb top 250, flawed list or not...
and if i have one more person with a joint tell me it's genius, i'm going to puke... i hear that expression the emperor's clothes bandied around a lot on the IMDb, and if there's any movie on these boards that does deserve that over-used put down... well you know where to find the usual suspects...
