Doesn't anyone get it. (may have spoilers I tried not to)

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2004)

I have heard all of the critics reviews, and i don't agree with them. First doesn't anyone just go to the movies to watch movies anymore instead of criticizing everything. That being said, I thought that this movie was very well done, from the marketing on down to the cast selection. Howard was amazing, as was Pheonix. Being a Shyamalan movie you know there is going to be a twist ending. Instead of figuring out what the twist is going to be just watch the movie. This movie was great. It wasn't as much as a horror thriller as it was supposed to be as it was commentary on utopian society. It had it's thriller moments. In the likes of Huxley with a Brave New World, Shyamalan wants to say what all anti-utopian society writers say. A utopian society doesn't work no matter where you are. That's whats great about this movie. So what if there were some talky parts, thats in all of his movies too. As for him being in his movies I think it is good, kind of a signature for him. If you go into this movie with an open mind and not just expecting to see a horror film you will have a great experience.
