First off, I really liked "The Village" and I think its M Night's best film since "The Sixth Sense". I heard a lot of people saying that the beginning was boring, I thought it was all very interesting. I do, have 3 minor problems with the film, they are:
-The lack of suspense and or scary scenes- I know M. Night doesn't want to show us too much, but I think he could have scared us at least a half dozen more times. I thought the scenes with the townspeople were interesting, but I wanted to be scared more. Show more scenes at night with the creatures or something.
The second problem was: -Plot Holes. Sure there's probably a dozen if you try hard enough, but the major one for me is with Noah. Why in the world would he go after Ivy in that suit? That never made sense to me. Did that costume take control over him? He was in love with her, they say. If you have an answer to this, please email it to me, because I'd really like to know
and lastly: -What happens to Lucius? They never say, and that bothers me. I wish it would just be resolved.
I did like a lot of things in it, like the music, and I even liked the twist ending, even though some people didn't. Bryce Dallas Howard is fantastic in this, I was really amazed. She really has great presence on screen and she brings so much to this film.
