A travesty

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2004)

I recently watched The Village which was written and directed by the mediocre M. Night Shyamalan. I had high hopes for this film, considering the insane amount of hype that was generated for it. M. Night Shyamalan directed The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs. I admit that the Sixth Sense was a pretty good movie but Unbreakable was lousy and Signs was so horrible it made my head hurt, so I don't give M. Night Shyamalan much credit. Now after the first ten minutes of watching this movie I had already figured out the 'Surprise Ending' however, in a 'Wouldn't it be horrible if.' Way. I felt as if M. Night Shyamalan created this movie for the ending instead of creating this movie to be good or meaningful. By 'Surprise Ending' I mean surprise. There is no ending, you just wasted $7.50. Bryce Dallas Howard, Joaquin Phoenix and Adrien Brody all overacted to the point of absurdity. There is no meaning, no moral, and no purpose to watch this movie.
