BIG Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2004)

Saw the flick today (7/30/04). It was one huge disappointment. The movie AND the ending was such a bore that I felt like a weenie for sitting there almost two hours waiting for the movie to vindicate itself...it did not. There was nothing spooky nor interesting from beginning to end. The only saving grace was Bryce Dallas Howard's performance which was terrific. The ending is so totally ridiculous, I cannot figure out how Shyamalan came up with it. Was he tired of the dumb story line he was writing and just wanted it to end? Who knows? I guess M. Night Shyamalan's one hit wonder, The Sixth Sense, has created a catch-22 situation in that he did his best big time film on his first time out. If you haven't seen it---don't! Save your money and rent a good DVD instead. Don't listen to Joel Siegel (Good Morning, America)...the movie is a waste and a bore.
