It's a Cookbook!

Rating: 5/10 (31 July 2004)

C'mon, you know twenty minutes in what the big twist is going to be or you're at least entertaining the thought...but that's not the point when it comes to enjoying this movie. There are also several small surprises that are worth waiting for, but there are also a few idiotic moments that destroy the charm and the suspensful momentum. M. Night Shyamalan has produced better writing, but he still has the talent to create multi-dimensional characters whose motivations are honest. So even if someone spills the surprise and tells you, "Vader is Luke's father," it shouldn't ruin your enjoyment. This is not a great movie, but it offers a few great moments.
