Just got back from seeing The Village...(possible Spoilers within)
WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!! I love how M. Night Shyamalan worked his way into the movie. Very Subtle. And The twist was great, even though from the first minute I saw it, I had an idea of what it was. Bryce Dallas Howard is a great actress and I sincerely hope we'll see a lot more of her. Anyone else love it?

1. I just saw it and really enjoyed it!
I was afraid it was going to be another 'Unbreakable', but even though I figured out the twist right away, it was still a great story. Excellent acting!

2. I saw it and while I liked the twists
It was TOO long!

It was a deep idea but I can't say I liked the film that much.

The girl that played the blind character did a good job.

4. Enjoyed it IMMENSELY!
I sort of wondered, going into the film, if it would turn out sort of the way it did, but I still hadn't come close to figuring it all out. MNS does it again.........bravo!

7. I just got back from it...
and thought it was craptacular.

It was WAAAAY too long. Even individual shots were WAAAY too long. And William Hurt.... had a very.... odd.... style of.... speaking. I wanted to.... punch him.... in the head.

I figured out "the twist" almost immediately, Sigourney Weaver was wasted in this movie, and Shyamalan just tried TOO hard to add suspense where there really wasn't any. And I'm a fan of his movies.
