OH I know..but where I live, usually the day before it comes out they have a 12 showing at night and some people go to it. I read some articles on it and people said they were dissappointed....even though, I still wanna see it. I think M. Night is a great writer/director

i have to say i did not like this movie at all. the ending was such a dissapointment, i wont spoil it for anyone because if you know the ending, well it just wont be scary to you.
this really had a lot of potential to be creepy as hell and every bit of scaryness was fucking sucked out of the movie near the end. also to be quite honest there were not that many scary scenes in the movie, a lot of it was pretty boring. someone else give me your thoughts on it.

I agree completely ....I thought it was horrible!
Its a waste of money and time!
I thought it would be this scary movie and then the previews ended up being more scary than the movie itself...

lol yea like a lot of ppl have a big hard on for that shamalylylyaannan w/e guy but the last movie of his that i saw (signs) with mel gibson had an ending that almost ruined the entire fucking movie. i actually liked signs but it didnt seem as if they even attempted to make a worthwhile ending for it which almost ruined it.

I thought that it was pretty good, just because this guy is smart and makes a movie that doesn't seem to be what it is supposed to be you cannot get mad, sorry that it didn't have people being wasted away with guns all over the place. Try to expand your minds, as the oldest person that reviewed so far was 22 years old besides myself. I know you all wanted a horror show, but this was so much better as you should be asking yourself questions about our society in today's views with respect to violence and why people go to the lengths that they do to protect/shield their children from it.
It is a great example of gated comunities in the USA, where they think that they are all protected from the evil on the outside, but things happen and will happen no matter what barriers or safety precautions are put into place. The acting was very good, and there is no accounting for taste for anyone, but to anyone that wants to go and see a good movie that isn't the normal Hollywood shit, go and take a chance and go see this movie.

Shyamalan's movie quality gets worse with every time. I am not going to see this movie.

I was JW...I heard that movies come out in Europe around 6 months after they debut in the U.S. - Is that true?

just because a movie probes an interesting idea, or is "intellectual" doesnt make it a good movie. If i wanted to get all intellectual ill read the book. i will admit the acting was good, i didnt have a problem with that, but if its marketed as a suspenseful frightening flick and it turns out being a cute love story im going to be dissappointed pretty much regardless.
i wasnt expecting people to be "wasted away with guns" or lots of gore or anything, i was expecting this movie to get under my skin and scare me, or give me that fear of the unknown like good movie would. this movie didnt really do any of that except for that one part in the beginning, but after that there wasnt anymore badass scenes where you jump out of your seat.
and just because im 20 years old doesnt mean i cant appreciate good cinema. when i go to the movie i dont want to expand my mind, i want to be entertained and get the shit scared out of me (in this case). i go to school to expand my mind. :wink:

Did you get to see his stupid "interview" on TV?
What a crock - like a amazingly amatuerish Blair-Withc project...
It was such a blatant scam to drum up interest in the upcoming release of the movie.

No I missed it. There was some furore about about some guys wanting to do a interview with him focussing on his technique but he called it off during the middle of shooting because he felt that they were focussed too much on him and less on his craft. Must be another event right?

just cause people are not as old as you they don't know anything about movies at all...
and your point is fair about what the movie was about (the meaning behind it) but the way it was written there was sooo many flaws i can pick out, like, if there were only so many elders, then why was there so many families there? how did they get there, did they just play along?
