Great Movie. If you don't like M. Night Shylaman then why go to his movies?

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2004)

*A FEW SPOILERS*
I for one was confused when the reviews came out.
1. Everyone alway's trashes his movies
2. The critics hate him
3. Everyone seems to think that all movies should be realistic?
Ok. do you go to a star wars movie and complain that there is no such thing as Laser swords? Do you go to a Stephen King movie and expect to laugh? Ok so every movie this guy has ever done is sorta the same way? Why should you expect anything else and then trash it because it is not?
I thought this movie was excelent in so many ways. I jumped in 2 or 3 spots. I as a lot of people did figured out about half way through that something was up and that we were living in modern times. The reasons for everything do not have to be understood to enjoy the movie maybe you did not enjoy the movie because you spent to much time trying to figure out every little plot hole? I did not catch the one about the elders talking about the skinned animals them selves. But if you will but think for a moment. The leader of the group himself did not know who was doing this. It would seem that just because they all knew that they were there and in modern times and that the monsters were unreal not all of them were working in unison. This may have been one of Mr Shylaman's points that even in the most perfect utopia that things happen, death happens, crime happens. He could have done like some would have expected and the politically correct ending would have been to realize that they had failed in their experiment and they were doing the same thing they were trying to protect against but no. That's why I respect this man and his movies. He goes against what is neccesarily PC and makes a movie. I would suggest that if you don't like these types of movies then don't go to another one by him. I will say that I liked this one much better than Signs though I have seen signs sevral times and love it still.
6 out of 10 only because there are a few things I was disappointed with in general but not about the movie itself just don't have enough words left to describe.
1 last thing. If you did not like the other M Night Shylaman films as bad as these other people then you probly will not like this one. but if you soft of liked signs then I think you will love this one :)
