Disappointment...

Rating: 5/10 (23 February 2006)

Granted, I didn't see The Village until tonight (2/06) so the spoiler was not unknown to me. Regardless, I wanted to see for myself what all the hype was about. But I must say, the film itself was a bit too grandiose with its plotting and pretensions. Are we really to believe that this group of folks are completely self-sustaining in the modern age? No planes 'eh? I know there was one line regarding some governmental payoff preventing fly-overs but give me a break! And what about Ivy spilling the beans the minute the forest guy pulls up outside the wall? "I live in the woods." Damn girl, where's your loyalty to your man let alone your father? BIG disappointment overall. The only things worth mentioning were the musical score and the stabbing scene.
