Almost as bad as i was expecting

Rating: 5/10 (27 November 2013)

I had a curious story with this film before watching it for the first time. I avoided it like the plague in the last month, mostly due to a bad feeling about it. Seriously, i missed lots of opportunities to see this film. I generally don't listen to critics opinions and stuff, but i don't know. In this case, it's like if something were holding me back to not watch this film. But today i finally gave up , left my fears and watched The Village.
Well, it wasn't as bad as i thought it was, but still, is indeed not a good film in any means in this planet. The plot is awful if you really think about it. The dialog is very vague, pointless and cheesy. 90% of them don't adds nothing to the story, which s a very bad fact. Some events requires way too many suspension of disbelief to really appreciate it. As far as i watched,a blind girl which can do absolutely everything as a normal person does and a retard smarter than people with implied much more intelligence than him are quick examples of how much you needs to suspend your disbelief. The character development is just normal, and there is no setting in any ways to be able to do this 'suspension'.
The acting is not exactly in the level of what you are used to see coming from this relatively ensemble cast, but i don't put the fault entirely in the actors. They don't have that much to work with, besides the poor dialogs and the dull pointless events. The cinematography, the art design and the soundtrack are top- notch though, but a film is not only about these technical aspects.
Not recommended. 5.4/10
