I loved it.

M. Night Shyamalan is a genius. That's the only word I can think of
describing him. When watching The Village, it was as though he was
reading my mind and the movie changed according to my thoughts. And I
don't mean that it was predictable. SPOILER AHEAD During the first half or so of the movie, I thought that it was a cool
plot, but I just didn't feel the tension and fear of the townspeople.
There were creatures in the woods, and when Jaquien Phoenix's character
entered the woods, I just didn't find myself frightened for what would
happen to him. Why? I have no idea, but later on in the film, when you
learn there are no creatures, it turned out there was nothing to harm
him. So, I didn't feel scared, and it turned out there was nothing to be
scared of! How Night did this, God only knows. All in all, I just thought this was a great movie. Good visuals, good
pop-out scary moments, and an amazing script. The twist at the end was
awesome, to say in the least, and I didn't find it disappointing at all.
The only part of the movie that angered me was the end. Because I didn't
want it to end, because I was enjoying it so much. ............
