i be a huge fan of sign and the sixth sense . i think m. night shyamalan do amazing work with the horror genre in both film . he breathe new life into a die breed of movie and give them something new among all of the cliché ridden movie that share the genre . so and i really want to like this movie . i and along with pretty much everyone else and be very disappointed by the village and i very much want the director to redeem himself . he fail . miserabley . now and i could see his intention throughout the entire movie . i know what he be go for and really and it could have work very well if it have be do correctly . the big problem i saw be that he try to make it be too many different thing at once . it be part fairy tale and part horror and part comedy and part fantasy . it go on . if he have choose just one and focus his effort on it and i think the movie would have be very good . instead and it end up be a long winded and pretentious and illogical mess . the movie be self aware in some way and often mock itself and it own ridiculous story and explanation . this work in other movie and like scream and for example . in this one and though and the subject be so outlandish that even the prod the movie give itself can not make it forgivable . you have to buy into a lot of insane stuff before you can even begin to get suck into the story . in some movie and such a leap of faith be easy to make and the movie be thoroughly entertain . not many people question the rationality of star war because the movie make their universe believable . lady in the water universe be so confusing and muddle that it distract and the viewer spend more time call it out than get involve . there be time when i find myself laugh and i wasn not sure if i be suppose to or not . the scene play out a completely serious and but it hard to believe that anyone could have write such scene and intend them to be take seriously . it impossible not to laugh at dialog that include creature such a narfs and scrunts . ultimately and i would call the movie confusing . it doesn not know what it suppose to be and so the audience be leave even more clueless .
