M., What happened?

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2004)

Words cannot express the deep fire of hate in my heart after i saw (wasted my time and nine fifty) the village.
I yearned and greatly anticipated the arrival of this film-being a die hard unbreakable fan and collector's edition DVD owner sped to the theater opening night to say i was there, i was there for the splendor and suspense and the cinematic art and beauty now synonymous with the shyamalan name.
Instead, i saw 2 hours of boring nothingness, mixed with a incommodious and awkward script and maniacal violin playing that would shame itzahk pearlman. I was seriously waiting for the movie to get good...i was deeply disappointed. I would just like to understand the rationale of half the story. Pseudo British accents and dialect? the cultish yellow KKK costumes?
Sending a blind girl to 'the towns'? the council of elders? what did i accidentally go into a lord of the rings movie?I just couldn't take it seriously. The plot was so empty, mixed with two many hidden messages so that the real message was buried-i still have no idea what the message exactly was. It was like a Public Television reality show gone bad-Next week on the village, see how much our 20th century contestants handle not bathing!
I ramble and get off track. Shyamalan has simply reached a point in his career in where his movies are so unpredictable that u predict the unpredictability...and we can even guess the twist..like a lame twilight show episode.
I understand we can all make mistakes, in this case failures. But still i would like to sit down with Mr. S. and ask him why? why did u steal my money and my pride?
