Lady In The Water

[Matt]

I finally watched it recently. I think Shyamalan has gotten pretty good at creating characters, I just think he needs to stop doing horror. I mean it's always the same movies, it's just new characters. And his new characters seem more real than his earlier ones, I just think it's kind have time for him to try something else... Beyond that, his horror films are getting cheesy, just because it's the horror part that has gotten stale.

 

I found it amusing to see him give himself a much larger part in this film, he wasn't quite a main character, but he's getting closer I suppose.

i was really let down by this movie actually. i still liked it but you're right about him needing to switch to another genre.

[Matt]

Maybe he could do a really good drama or something one of these days, I really do feel he can create really fluid characters now, so...

I still haven't seen that one, reviews killed it so I figured I'd wait.

[Crusader]

it was good but if you've read enough/seen enough movies you'll pick up on the ending right away

[Matt]

Well all of Shyamalan's movies are basically the same too, so it's pretty predictible, plus, I think he's given up on the twists for the most part because they are so obvious.

This movie was wild. It was just really fun/nice. People who think its more than that are going to be dissapointed obviously.

[Matt]

I didn't expect very much from it is the thing, I expected it to be fun, I just think that Shyamalan really brought all that much too this film, it was too similar to his other ones...

[Salto]

one of the worst movies i've ever seen.

I just saw it last night. It was okay but the fact that all these people would believe this childrens story right off the bat, is just plain bizarre. It totally destroyed the believability of the characters in this movie. Although I guess you could argue that Story had this effect on these people.

 

I don't really see how people think there was a twist at the end at all, seems like it was pretty straight foreward. It definately had a cool premise though, and I liked the fact that these people, who are meant to fulfill a purpose are unknowingly brought together by the universe.

 

Good ideas but overall a poor execution. 5/10

[Shiri]

I just saw it earlier. It was decent, not as bad as I thought it will be.

[prototypepariah]

great idea poorly executed hard to watch...I tried not taking it seriously but it still was bad even from a very lighthearted perspective.

 

It was adapted from a fairy tale his kid liked or something..

 

I live near the tree's from the village those f'n things are really scary.
