The Village (2004)
2/10
Big Trouble in the Little Village ... And For Viewers Too
26 February 2005
Oh my, don't want to say too many bad things about a venture that involved so many talented people. But IMDb exists for frank postings, and I was so displeased with this movie that, forgive me film-makers, I really wanted to let off some steam.

The script was the core problem for me, it was so uninvolving, so slow at the start, and so absurd at the end. A first rate group of actors did bring life to their roles, but The Sixth Sense this is not (but then I thought Signs was not very good, ruined by an awful second half).

Ms. Howard was excellent in the only good role, while Adrien Brody sure has talent. But even for a mere 99 cents on Pay Per View I was ready to call this misfire off after sixty very long minutes. Poor Mr. Shyamalan may be getting budgets, and pretty good grosses, but he is seeming more like a one trick pony with every film. 2/10
