Review of Lady in the Water (2006) by Landon M — 29 Aug 2015
Shyamalan's first universally hated movie, and understandably. This movie is the pure definition of a mess. The acting (for the most part), score, and cinematography are all great, but what destroys this movie is the writing.
The dialogue and plot of this movie is, to put it simple, atrocious. I thought the dialogue in the Village was bad, but noooooooo. There are some super cringe-worthy moments, that don't work even in Shyamalan-corny style.
Some scenes are great, and others are just hard to watch. The last half of the movie is so confusing and hard to follow that it makes you stop trying to care. Overall, this movie isn't awful, it's just extremely forgettable, and it actually made me respect The Village more.
4/10.
