Just got home from seeing this and all I can say is I want my money back.
the trailers and commercials make this to be a thrillr/horror flick. I was not held in suspense, I almost fell asleep, and I kept wondering when the flick was going to get good.
So I you want to see it stay home and save your money andwait for it to come out on one of the cable channels in 6 months.

His movies tend to be a lot deeper than the average movie and can often take a few viewings to really 'get' it. On the other hand he's batting 3 out of 3 going into this one and so it's possible for him to hit a bad one too.

I liked his films before his head expanded to gargantuan proportions and he felt he should 'Brand' all of his creations with his name as the primary line of the marquee.

| i've found that people's opionions of movies vary so much, that i generally just see for myself if it is good or bad. i do, however, sometimes like to get opinons on rentals, especially if it's one of the ones that slid thru the vacuous cracks of mainstream hollywood blockbusters. there are of course the old reliable sites like imdb and rotten tomatoes...but sometimes just for laughs i like to see what mr. cranky has to say. although he doesn't like much, and only begrudgingly if so, he writes the most hilarious reviews i have ever read. :) |

I just came back from seeing it.
It is not a horror or terror flick by any means... but it is thought provoking and, I thought, interesting.
To each their own! |

My boyfriend went today and when I said that I would NEVER see it (because the trailers and commercials made it out to be a thriller/suspense movie and I HATE them) he told me the story.
It sounded so stupid that I laughed. Several times. I'm sorry, it just doesn't work for me at all.

It's pretty rare that I'll disagree with the reviewers for The Guardian. If I want to know if I'll enjoy a movie or not, that's where I go.

//www.RottenTomatoes.com only gave The Village a rating of 45% out of 100%. As a personal rule, I usually only watch movies that hit 70%+ on DVD and 80%+ in Theatres.
45% is pretty flippin' bad and rottentomatoes hasn't let me down yet. Just don't go wandering in there without a pop-up blocker.

Well, how are you ever going to know if you're going to like it? 45% while not being all that great, is about half, which is what a film like this gets a lot. Love it or hate it, and if you don't see it, you'll never know which side you're on.
And what you have to look at on rottentomatoes is the rating. Because you'll find some films, are getting mostly barely positive scores, but are in the high fives, and you'll find some films that are in the rotten territory, but have scores in the sixes because the good reviewes are really great while the rotten reviews just are not that rotten. |
