Don't . . .

Rating: 1/10 (3 October 2005)

Underrated, Very good, Shyamalan's best, Brilliantly-nuanced, Wonderful, Moving, Entertaining, Great, Beautiful, Amazing, Excellent  these are just a few of the phrases used by the very many people posting here who liked this film. Those more discerning victims who weren't so keen on it observed that the movie was Boring, Pointless, Awful and a Snoozefest. Here's another word for it  Pants! And, as IMDb has informed me that this comment is too short to be accepted, here are some more Funereally slow, Ridiculously-plotted, Woodenly-acted, Mind-numbingly and irritatingly-scored and Stultifyingly-derivative. At a mere one hour 43 minutes, it's still just about the longest movie I have ever sat through, and makes Abel Gance's 378-minute 1927 silent epic Napoleon feel a commercial break. Advice? Don't . . .
