M.Night making fun of the movie audience

Rating: 2/10 (28 June 2004)

This is a movie that you easily erase from your cinema memories. The worst one of the three that the director from India M.N.Shymalan gave us. Not that the others are masterpieces but this one really knocked me out of my seat. The problem with this guy is that he insist at the absence of visual effects in his films. This would be fine with me if he didn't insist of making sci-fi movies. Why didn't he try Bollywood? At least people wouldn't waste any money on craps. What else can you describe a movie that presents us the ultimate fight between good and evil, using absolutely NO visual effects to back it up. I mean the script refers to a guy with superhuman powers battling a master villain. Any usaspected person would fall for that, but be worn......all you gonna see is people talking to people(and above all with lousy actoring). The clistophobic atmosphere that sometimes comes forward isn't enough to save this film from any trushcan's bottom. And just one question.....I read somewhere that this flick costed about 80.000.000 dollars to shoot. WHERE DID THESE MONEY GO?
