MCT:May 8, 2008The story draws on too many personalities that made a lot of them a bit thin. So Cleveland's character is probably the only one who was developed properly. However, I did find it to be a good thing. With more people to get to know, you don't get too bored concentrating on most of their sad stories.
The first 20-30 minutes would probably tell the whole story away. But I still found it amusing what they had to go through and the twists and everything. I liked the story overall. I already knew this was going to be a fairy tale type of movie and I guess it helped.
All would have been good IF M NIGHT DIDN'T STAR IN THIS MOVIE. His role, the author who's going to change the world, is simply stupid and silly. The movie would have gotten a better rating WITHOUT M NIGHT.
Overall, it's a light and entertaining movie. I liked it a lot and it wasn't as bad as most people said it was. The cinematography was really great. throughout the movie I was already saying "wow that's a great shot. I didn't know M Night can shoot this way." He didn't. When the end credits came out, it said:
Director of Photography: Christopher Doyle.
Kaya naman pala.
Story: 5/10 (7/10 pag wala si M Night)
Boredom Factor: 3/10
Pace: Medium
Talk to Action Ratio: 4:6
Watch Again Rating: 6/10
Overall: 7/10 (8/10 if M Night didn't star in it) -
MCT:May 7, 2008M. Night Syamalan, what were you thinking?
I think he hit a wall, directing wise, after The Sixth Sense and The Village. -
MCT:May 5, 2008I like Shyamalan, but this one feels like he was making it up as he went along. Every ten minutes, a new rule is introduced, and this makes it hard to follow. He also shows a sloppy tendency to tell and not show; the animated intro and Chinese lady telling the story feel like corner-cutting measures, and that undermines the movie as well.

MCT:May 3, 2008hmm nice modern fairy tail. Bryce Dallas Howard was the perfect sea narf. i loved the creative characters. it also got some good comedic parts too. i liked how shyamalan mixed in characters of different races and ethnicities. great movie.

Great movie!!! The only thing that annoyed me is that it was so quiet and it was hard to hear, but other than that I loved it! It makes you think! During the whole movie you are trying to figure who has what purpose and it is crazy! I love all of M. Night's movies!!

What a polarity in reviews on this one amongst my friends!I don't know what that means,but it seems to me that either truly great films or truly awful ones invite this sort of extreme divisiveness.I'll leave it at that...

I loved this movie just for the simple fact that it's different. It's a fairy tale that doesn't need to have fancy dresses and tiaras or a wicked witch.

Everyone who doesn't like this movie is crazy. It is an awesome movie. I think it is probably one of my favorite movies. It is suspensful but not scary and that is what I like. This movie was way different than Signs and that is what I really like. Signs was just weird but I really enjoyed watching this, and everyone who hasn't seen it should see it. It is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
