Review of The Village (2004)

By Chad Bixby (5) for Film Threat (5,156) on 02 Aug 2004

Everyone here sounds trapped in a high school staging of “The Crucible,” and after about an hour, this high-toned creature feature…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Film Threat (5,156) on 02 Aug 2004

The film is so plodding and the climax so...anti-climactic, that any lessons the audience has learned are forgotten as soon as their eyes start…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Steven Snyder (233) for Zertinet Movies (219) on 02 Aug 2004

I must admit that I was always intrigued by this movie and, despite the weakness of the film's revelation, fascinated by the final destination…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Gregory Weinkauf (347) for New Times (467) on 02 Aug 2004

The result is his (Shyamalan's) most meditative and lovingly rendered offering thus far, if also his least fun…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for Modamag.com (300) on 02 Aug 2004

Problem is: the tame, third-act plot payoff just isn't worth the build-up and doesn't come as much of a surprise if you listen carefully to…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Vince Koehler (156) for Entertainment Spectrum (633) on 02 Aug 2004

We are propelled back to the 19th century and meet an interesting cast of characters…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Christian Toto (897) for Washington Times (392) on 01 Aug 2004

Shyamalan's Village provides an open window into his gifts - and flaws - as a top-flight director…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for Sun Publications (Chicago, IL) (630) on 01 Aug 2004

Shyamalan should consider a chicken-or-the-egg question of his own making: What comes first, the plot or the plot twist…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Jimmy O (287) for Film Snobs (370) on 01 Aug 2004

Hollywood's Worst Argument Against Homeland Security since The Terminal…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Ryan Cracknell (408) for Movie Views (286) on 01 Aug 2004

In his quest to outsmart his audience and outdo his previous films Shymalan has become, dare I say it, predictable…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Danny Minton (313) for Beaumont Journal (131) on 31 Jul 2004

It's as disappointing as thinking you are about to get on a fast roller coaster, strapping in tight, and then being sent through It's a Small World…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Jonathan R. Perry (254) for Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas) (351) on 31 Jul 2004

Admiring a con man's skill doesn't make me any less enraged when he's ripped me off…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Kit Bowen (393) for Hollywood.com (1,014) on 31 Jul 2004

While The Village may not ultimately be considered one of Shyamalan's best efforts...it still bears his unique mark for understanding the human…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel (195) for 3BlackChicks Review (195) on 31 Jul 2004

Movies are far too expensive to waste your hard earned money on this mess…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for Worcester Telegram & Gazette (604) on 31 Jul 2004

here's the answer to the biggest question you'll have after the movie is over: no, you can't get your money back…

Review of The Village (2004)

By David Keyes (623) for Cinemaphile.org (616) on 30 Jul 2004

A faux thriller, so filled with camouflage and manipulation that when the big twists are finally revealed, the entire film loses any true sense…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 30 Jul 2004

I, too, think the War on Terror is hypocritical B.S., but I don't go around making badly-written movies about it…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 29 Jul 2004

It's not very scary. And absent the skin-crawling, hair-raising magic that usually attends a Shyamalan movie, The Village is a bit of a long sit…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Robert Denerstein (1,148) for Denver Rocky Mountain News (608) on 29 Jul 2004

Might have made a good 20-minute short or Twilight Zone episode…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Martin Scribbs (122) for Mixed Reviews (171) on 29 Jul 2004

Don't go to The Village to be surprised, shocked, waylaid or titillated. Go to think hard about the human project…
