I liked it too. I suspect ppl didn't like it cos it was marketed wrong. Trailers pushed it as a thriller when it's actually a modern faerie tale.

explicit:
It's been awhile since I last watched it (I had only remembered it because I had a long conversation about Shamalan (sp?) movies). I liked the story, you're exactly right, it was a fairy tale. I think it bored people, and I can see that, but the story interested me a lot. And I think Shamalan movies are pretty horrible if you don't count 6th sense and unbreakable of course (though, 6th sense should have been more obvious in retrospect, I think audiences just weren't used to twist endings like that yet).

J:
four of us!

of course, my favorite character is shamalan's straw-man film critic stand-in. shamalan tried to make the guy unlikeable, but i love him


honestly, i think the fact that shamalan cast himself as the savior/artist who was misunderstood in his own time rubbed a lot of critics the wrong way.

J:
i actually remember guessing the twist of the 6th sense fairly early on in the movie, but the story/directing was so good at disguising it that i was quickly convinced i'd made a mistake until the end.


(click to show/hide)the one-sided interactions between bruce willis and his wife were brilliant at that. i was that he couldn't be dead, because they were still having arguments. i didn't realize until someone pointed out to me afterward that she never spoke to him directly.

explicit:
That's the problem, even while it worked that time, his movies are gimmicky. That can make for good movies, it's just much less likely than a movie that has, say, good writing/plot/likable characters/aren't stuck so far up his own ass.

Michael Bay would have made a better The Last Airbender film than him.
