Just Saw "The Villiage."
 

What a piece of shit. Don't waste your money. If you're looking for a good horror movie...don't go see this. The previews make it look like a scary movie but it's really more of a drama. Nothing even remotely redeeming about the movie. I want my fucking money back.

I am glad you said that, the previews look awesome, and I read the title of your thread and was like "oh shit, that came out today, I better go see it." I guess in a way I owe you $8. :)

He is right, they do string you along in the previews to think its a scary movie and it isnt but i still liked it . A lot of twists but not like in sixth sense where you are completely caught off guad.

That's pretty funny. :1orglaugh

If I didn't go into it expecting a scary movie I might not have been so upset. If I knew what it was actually about I might have liked it too.

He is right! Can't wait till the movie "Saw" comes out.

well. since were not going to see it. give us the spoiler list.

ill still end up wasting my money on it...gotta see it for myself :)

Oh yeah, that movie looks all kinds of sick!!!

Thanks for the heads up on The Village though. I thought that movie looked scary, now I'll just wait and "you-know-what" it.

I went and saw "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle".

Great stoner flick. :thumbsup

a much better movie than "The Village" :thumbsup

Reviews for The village have been pretty bad

hahaa i just saw it too, what a bunch of bullshit.

I'm still going!!! I'll let you know what I thought.:)

I just got back from the theatre. I enjoyed it.

It's not an action movie or a traditional horror movie.
If you like hollywood-ish films, it's not for you.

... that's the nice way to phrase it - what I might also add is that people who need explosions and FX and eyecandy and/or traditional tired plots with cliche relationships/romances and established form, probably aren't the target audience anyway - we get enough movies like that.

I like movies that just play with ideas. A movie can impress me just by being different. I can also deal with the story being moved along by pure tension. I don't need a money shot every 10 minutes to keep me interested. He writes people in such a unique way that I could just watch them talk to eachother for two hours.

It's a typical M. Night Shyamalan movie, in that it has a strange character of it's own,
in that it feels more like a small independent film, with the budget to hire name actors.

This is one of those movies that some people will really love while others can't understand the appeal at all.

Yea - I saw it tonight as well - very dissappointed :(

Just got back from that myself. Pretty funny stuff. Anyone up for a game of Battleshits?

:1orglaugh

Yeah...tell us what the twists are. I really don't give a shit and don't plan on seeing it, so save me (us) the time.

yeah, I was sure that Shayamalan was a big nothing just after I saw the movie "signs"... 2-3 corn fields+mel gibson's expense=0:321GFY

The entire theatre was gagging thru that scene. Too funny. :1orglaugh

Yes, this movie is very much in the same spirit as 'Signs'
- but without even the mainstream appeal of aliens.

So, if you didn't like 'Signs', then you certainly won't like 'The Village'.
I liked 'Signs' though.

However, I also loved 'Punch Drunk Love'
which just made all the Adam Sandler fans in the world go "ummm..huh? boooorring"
