Great movie, but not all the way.

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2005)

The Village is a very well-written, well-casted, and well-produced movie. Phoenix is always good, and this man has only one scar on his CV. Ladder49, a extremely boring movie, which should've been 30 min shorter than it is. The sixth sense is very very spooky, and Signs could be a kind of War of the Worlds clone. Which is good! Phoenix is also here good. And he's really nasty in Gladiator. And he's also good in this movie, although he does not have the main role. The trailers and commercials for this film, made the viewer to believe that he did. But it's no big deal, because Bryce Dallas Howard does a stunning job as Ivy Walker. The film is scary, and has a lot of moments where you sit and hug your pal in the seat next to you. The creatures in this movie is more scary than the Aliens in "Alien" The only thing that is to complain about, is the ending. Which is so extremely stupid. It seems like M. Night Shyamalan had to write the finish in a hurry, because it's not very thoughtfull, and does not fit the rest of the movie.
But when everything comes everything it's a great movie, which should be in every DVD-collection!
