Overall, I liked the movie

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2004)

So, I stayed up late last night to see the movie that I have wanted to see for like 4 months... Yep, it's The Village... No spoilers - I promise. The premise was good. The acting great in parts, stiff in parts; the plot engaging and suspenseful and, quite possibly, the WORST dialogue ever written in a big budget movie. I found the dialogue stiff and unrealistic, not only was it unrealistic for the characters to be talking that way, the actors seemed stiff and unsure of how to say the lines. (The cool thing is that there were no contractions, OK, there were a few, but they were all from the elders) All in all however, I do recommend it, it was defiantly good, and defiantly good in a "go see it in a theatre" way, I'm not sure it was "stay up till 3 to see it on the night it came out" good... but overall, a highly enjoyable movie. Overall, I give it a solid B
