Not impressed at all ...

Rating: 6/10 (3 September 2004)

I was not impressed by The Village as I had high hopes for it (I'm a big M. Night Shyamalan fan) and compared to some of his previous movies, this was indeed a disappointment. I suppose it was good -- but not outstanding, spectacular or superb. I enjoyed Bryce Dallas Howard's performance -- she's an amazing actress. I also thought Adrian Brody acted well although you have this love-hate relationship with him in this movie. Overall I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for a thriller or a scary movie. I felt it was more of a "love" story however the "love" scenes were touching and well acted. The storyline and concept were very interesting -- however the presentation was not.
