Dissaponting from M. Night Shyamalan

Rating: 3/10 (3 February 2005)

I liked sixth and unbreakable, but was disappointed by Signs and the slow paced story telling it offered. I think that The Village has much in common with signs in regards to how the story is told. for me its simply to slow and there is no twist or crescendo at the end to justify the almost two hour long buildup. The story is also too transparent, i think it took me about ten minutes to figure out the plot. The acting was OK, but not anything special considering the cast. especially Sigourney weaver got little or no possibilities to show of her talents. I would also like to note that the trailers for the movie was misleading in terms of what kind of atmosphere and genre this movie is in. The trailers give a feeling of a horror movie, which it's far from the truth. I hope this was just a detour for shyamalan and that he's back on track for he's next adventure.
