One of the most misleading movies of our time *spoiler*

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2004)

Hello I'm new to this whole thing of writing reviews but i think i had an obligation to write a review for M Night Shamylan's The Village. When first hearing about this movie i was excited like no other. When reading the movie poster and when seeing the previews i think i and everyone ever witnessed to it had a good idea of what the movie was going to be about.... Monsters in the woods that surround a village. I have bad news people...this movie is nothing like what it seems. Like previous reviewers have said about this moving being a waste of good talent...i couldn't agree more.. How could Shamylan go from the Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs to the village? The premise actually is the tale of a College professor that had an idea...of starting a commune out in the middle of the woods...because the real world was too much for them....and the way they keep their children and everyone else from fleeing the village is by having the village elders dress up in (excuse my language) goofy ass costumes and run around in the woods...WTF? its all a lie, its all "farce" as William hurt would put it as he said himself in the movie. I was very disappointed, this movie had so much potential yet to be wasted to try and display deep metaphorical value. People don't want to watch and try and pick out metaphors they want to be scared! this movie was scary in the beginning because it led you to think these creatures were real..and the anticipation of seeing them almost killed you..so many things about this movie are ridiculous at one point in the movie...the village decides to send a blind girl out into the woods past "those we do not speak of" to the towns to receive supplies to aid injured Joaquin Pheonix. ill repeat this for you my gentle snow flakes...they send a blind girl into the woods .....a blind girl ....and she magically finds her way ...it was ridiculous. yes i will stop jabbering on about how bad of a movie this was but i thought i had a duty to warn movie goers.
