Utterly disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2005)

I had high expectations about this movie, not only after seeing the sixth sense (good, even though quite slow, actually), but also for all the enthusiastic reviews The Village got everywhere. So I thought that the very slow start was just a sort of prologue, that soon the action would have started... well, I waited, waited, waited... till the end. All the story is definitely boring and predictable. Good acting, but it is just a waste of good actors. I can't see how can anyone be thrilled by this tremendously tedious movie: it is not even original, the sort of final showdown is something you can aspect. Moreover, the old fashioned language the inhabitants speak is annoying and almost ridiculous. Do not watch this movie.
