the Village, 1 star
Or: “man, did that movie suck or what”.
Indeed, didn’t like the Village much.
It’s been a while since I truly detested a movie as bad as this. Apart from an excellent debut by Bryce Dallas Howard, and decent acting by some others, this film has close to no redeeming features (music is close to being one, and cinematography isn’t bad either). Boring, long-winded and equipped with a tired exposition method, this just did not appeal at all to me.
As in all M. Night Shyamalan movies, plot twists abound, but in this one they’re pretty shallow, and surprising in only one case out of three, and even that one is a pretty badly written scene.
