Jason M @TheGambianRPCV Dec 30 People obviously miss the entire point of this movie. It's not meant to shake your to the core or scare the hell out of you. The storyline between the three leads is critical and shows the many layers of the human condition....when technology is absent. Truly a wonderful story that has gotten better with age as we spiral into the digital morass. See more GB M Nov 11 So I remember when THE VILLAGE was released to scathing reviews. Now when I look at rotten tomatoes they showed around 50% tile. You have got to be kidding me. This is one of the most ridiculous films I have ever seen. Boring as hell, pointless and utterly ridiculous. I’ll never understand why people think they have to support bad films because of a director or because of a look that it has. If it’s a bad script it’s a bad movie. People need to take some kind of film making classes or screenplay writing classes so you can learn what it is you are critiquing. The village is pure crap. See more Farah E Oct 30 One of my favorites. Great cast, great acting, it’s a pretty and touching movie. See more Charlie B Oct 28 I actually really loved this movie. Great acting. Great sound track. And a plot that kept me on the edge of my seat! See more Paul S Oct 25 I could never really identify what story this movie was trying to tell. The all-star cast gave amazing performances, but the story and execution did not support them at all. The dialogue felt really forced throughout the movie, and Joaquin Phoenix whispering his lines definitely did not help. The scenery and visuals of the movie were beautiful, and M. Night Shyamalan did an amazing job producing an eerie yet breathtaking atmosphere. I'd recommend this for drama fans, but it's not the best movie I've ever seen. Bryce Dallas Howard's character is apparently blind, but I had no idea this detail existed until about halfway through the movie. See more K K Oct 23 This M. Night Shyamalan's keeps me guessing which I like in movies, both with directors and actors. When an actor can take something, even a small nuance and do something I had not thought of or considered in the scene, I am interested. I enjoyed this movie: interesting concept, music/costume/makeup choices. Good acting. Strong cast. Well done. It is a movie that you can pull out and be entertained, but I am glad I watched it at the movie theater! It has a movie's theatrical presence that I don't get at home device. Also, M. Night Shyamalan's taking the stand in a lawsuit over claims of misconduct in a project made me take note. M. Night Shyamalan did not buy or want to hide behind attorneys. Rather, M. Night Shyamalan went to court and let the jury or judge (in this case, jury) and won, at least in trial court. I respect this approach as so many use their resources to avoid any responsibility! A director such as M. Night Shyamalan's work, such as in the village, is intense, strong, interesting, varied, so check this movie out! My only complaint not enough Weaver in screen time! AS I am a huge fan of Weaver’s acting and movie choices! See more Read all reviews
