I watched The Village and then I-Robot today. Yay. They both rocked. But, MR.M! It was no fun knowing that the ones we do not speak of were fake. NO! IT SPOILED MY ...DAY! sort of. He should have let the ones we do not speak of be based on a legend and they actually come alive and kill people. Noah is psychotic. I bet he knew it was fake all along.

They look like the hunters from R.E. and Halo. And, yay, why'd he have to choose red. hahaha. I'll walk around the streets in a black tee with a red strike across it. Then people will run. Then we'll have someone walk around as the ones we do not speak of and a person in a soiled yellow cloak. YEAH.

Mr M did it again. He finished the story the way a peacelover would. And it's kind of stupid to star in your own movies okay. hahah. Like, it was damn obvious that Jake/J/jack was Mr.M. It's kinda cool though. ahhah.

Then I-robot was, OH YEAH! I for one hate the idea of robots. They are not meant to LIVE. PCs are the epitome of crashing but A.I.?! Kiss Mother Earth goodbye. Viki is like, a stupid a.i. What kind of A.I. wants to live here. I BLOODY SMART ONE would NOT be made in the U.S.A. it'll be made elsewhere that's for sure. And the A.I. wouldn't be SO DUMB.

you're the dumbest dumb person i've even met.

Script was ok. Enough jokes. sufficiently interesting effects.

Though tinsel town likes happy endings, ROBOTS SHOULD EXPLODE! BOOM! They do not need to be made as A.I. THEY MUST ALL BE DESTROYED. Though A.I. animals should be manufactured in moderation. And they must be kinda small.

Boy,it is hard to make a post, with my firewall going up all the time some jerk must be trying to hack me. Anyways, that is besides the point. The guy who wrote and directed this film, I believe it is an East Indian name that I can't spell, has a bad tendency of writing films that have great previews, but disappointing endings with no conclusions. Another film like signs. The story dragged, and the characters were over evolved. This would be a great short story, but not a full feature film. The movie is plausible. Maybe, they should have an aftermath at the end of this film. Like Signs were the aliens could not open doors, but travel from another planet the Village is another hard too digest film. A DVD at home not a outing. 6 out of 10.

This movie sucked!! What a stupid ending.. I mean, really. The only positive thing I have to say about M Night's films is that he does do a great job leading up to his plot twists/meaning of the movie and somehow gets good actors to agree to be in his lousy movies. The problem is that the plot twists have all been a major disspointment with the exception of the Sixth Sense, which was his only great movie. All the rest of 'em are terrible and I'm sorry I've wasted my hard earned dollars in seeing these pieces of crap called movies in the theater. I should have waited til they came out on rental!!

Alright, figured I'd chime in with my two cents... First off, I would like to state for the record that I have NOT seen another MKS movie other than "Signs", which I thought was great. Simple reason being, I only see movies that I think are going to be good, not the ones that 'everyone else is seeing!' And no one has ANY right to slag me for making a comment on this movie while I haven't seen 50% of his other movies, cause a movie should be judged on it's own merit, not of it's director's other movies. And, yes, I AM a fan of plot-twists, but only if there are done well and to the benefit of the film they are in. That being said, I thought "The Village" was one of the worst films I have seen in my entire, pathetic existence. First off, my MAJOR problem with it, was the BAD, and I mean HORRID BAD publicity behind it. They made that movie out to be like it was gonna scare me on a level with "The Ring" (which was really good for those of you who could actually appreciate the sublminals and intricacies of the plot). Instead, I get Amish-town-on-a-stick-of-moral-values? C'mon now. Now, I already hear some thoughts of a reply along the lines of "well, MKS never makes straight horror movies, or movies that are straight along one plot at all...etc, et. al." Well, too friggin bad, cause when you build a movie up that much in the trailers, with what appear to be some truly, suspenseful, frightening scenes, you had BEST deliver, that is what I am truly out to say with this post. And, again, it comes back to Mr. Shaymaylan's fault for that one: I'm sorry, but he has enough weight to have cut the trailer's to be a more accurate description of what the film was about. The trailer's were a complete and total misnomer to the film, which was, in my opinion, VERY lackluster. I was fighting yawns the whole time. What some of you may call, and I quote, 'masterful suspense', I call a dragging plot, with VERY schizophrenic scenes. That's another thing, was it just me, or did a LOT of those scenes not seem to segue into each other AT ALL, like you were watching clips from a jumbled mess of different movies? I don't know, but it felt that way to me a lot. The movie starts in one kind of story-telling, and ends in a completely other. Also, the voice-overs in that 'black box' scene were absolutely AWFUL thinking on MKS' part. If for no other reason, than there were NO other voice-overs in the rest of the movie (at least that I caught). I think a simple, yet refreshing flashback scene would have done more justice. Anyways, thank you for reading my little spiel on why I gave this movie the dreaded '1'. Oh, and one other thing: how does a blind woman, no matter how long she's been kept in a 150 yard x 150 yard outdoor box (essentially), know so well where she's going over uneven turf that she can run full-tilt up a hillside to a grove without tripping once? And beat a full-grown man who can see up to it? Just another obscurity I thought I'd touch on in this 'chaos-in-a-blender' movie...Just note, I didn't even touch the whole 'modern times' thing, cause, face it, it's just too easy to pick apart that lousy, predictable aspect of this film. Well, hopefully, anyone reading this, got something out of it. And if you didn't, too bad, cause at least getting this out made the rage I felt from this movie subside (at least for now).

Heck, I thought it rocked.

Gorobei Katayama: You're Good.

Heihachi Hayashida: Yeah, yeah. But I'm better at killing enemies.

Gorobei Katayama: Killed many?

Heihachi Hayashida: Well - It's impossible to kill 'em all, so I ususally run away.

Gorobei Katayama: A splendid principle!

Heihachi Hayashida: Thank you.
