Why all the Hostility?

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2004)

I just got back from seeing The Village, and though many, many people said it was horrible, I liked it a lot. It had a good enough story, and still had the "M. Night Shamalan" mind blowing twists. Even though some of the things could have been improved (like the Creature in the woods could have looked a little less like a porky pine) over all it was a good story and movie and Bruce Howard did a good job as Ivy, the blind girl. I just wonder why so many people absolutely loathed this movie. Maybe it was because people expected another Sixth Sense that amazed you so much that you had to go see it again. Well, yes, it wasn't as spectacular as the Sixth Sense, but it did still live up to the M. Night Shamalan reputation.
