Holy crap The Village SUCKED!Follow
Anyone else who has seen it agree? Wow... full movie theatre... every single person pissed at the end.. Never heard so many, "That movie was ******* stupid!" so many times in my life.
No surprise there, buddy-boy. Try reading a review before you go next time and save yourself eight bucks. I knew it sucked before it came out. What's your excuse?

Movies are random to me.. nothing planned out. You don't tell your friends, "Umm, I don't know yet if I want to go.. lemme read some reviews."
Do you buy cars that way? Do you date in that manner? What makes going to see a movie any different? Do some homework on stuff in life and you might discover vicariously the value of not being a crash test dummy for the marketers and advertising agents of the world.
Besides, Harold and Kumar or The Manchurian Candidate are two vastly different yet vastly better movies than what you went to go see. I know that and I haven't seen any of them.

Lol, certainly I did back when I was in the dating pool. You never asked your friends about the various girls you were interested in?

If my friends knew them well enough to give me any sort of worthwhile opinion beyond "she seems okay", it was probably because they had already slept with the lass. I try to keep my dating experiences less inbred than that

Ok, how about a letter of recommendation from your sister or Mom?

My mom already handpicks all my dates for me. Usually the daughters of those in her canasta league. You mean yours didn't? She mustn't have loved you then.

So your hanging out with friends... And they decide to go to the movies... you refuse until you find a review?
Your weird.... So many posts too.... hmmm.

And another thing... just because a critic dis-likes it doesn't mean I will too...
Hey, I'm not the one who blew eight bucks on a suck-a$$ movie. How 'bout this? When your friends say, "Let's go see a flick! Wanna go see The Village?" Why don't you tell them that that movie sucks and y'all should go see something else, because you have already done your homework and checked out the online reviews and discovered it sucks.
But if you don't mind lighting your cash on fire, go ahead and go see whatever. It's your money. Just stop complaining about it on this board because you're too stupid and lazy to avoid something perfectly avoidable.

By having this conversation you are simply increasing the 'crap factor' of The Village, this point is explained further down the post. Not having seen it myself, I can't say whether i thought it was good or not HOWEVER...
As a principle i refuse to read critics' reviews as they are in general completely opposite to what i think of films.
for example:
pearl harbour - rave reviews.
my opinion - too long, too soppy, no action, cliched scenes and characters.
i could go on but i can't be bothered
back to my original point - don't let it get to you. look at it, see that it smells worse than your dogs doings and then leave it. feel free to tell the rest of us not to bother watching it, but by no means argue with others and epecially don't insult other people because of it.
if you do, they will have won. we don't want that now do we?
my god i almost typed 'one' instead of 'won'. im losing it. the room is getting all bendy and AAAAH im covered in spiders! hello spiders, i need cake.

I heard the screwed up the ending of The Manchurian Candidate. I wish I had time to see movies or read reviews. Should probably stop posting and do some work.
"Pearl Harbor" had rave reviews?

Yah, it sucked. I figured that out about 5 seconds into the preview, but the whole,"Critics don't know what they are talking about" argument just doesn't hold water. It took me a few months of looking for a critic that consistantly had the same opinion as I did, but i found one, and now those are the only reviews I ever listen to. I'm sure you can as well, unless you are so incredibly lazy that you can't do a google search without breaking a sweat.
I have to admit it sucked. It was no where near as good asSix Sense, or Unbreakable. Manchurian Candidate turned into a much better movie than the Village.
Actually, that has to be one of the few movies that I agreed with the critics on. They said I Robot sucked, I thought it was a pretty fun movie. They said Spiderman 2 was the best movie of the year, I was wondering what they were smoking when they saw it. I don't always listen to the credits, unless you come up with a movie like Catwoman. Just looking at HB in that suit told me it was going to suck. As for Pearl Harbor, ~yawn~ I think I slept through it.

Anyways, I don't have any interest in The Village. I saw Sixth Sense when it was in theaters, and it was all right, but quickly came to loathe Shayamalan's style. It seems to consist mostly of plot twists. And I don't really care for Joaquin Phoenix, either.
It can be tricky to accurately discern a certain movie's quality before it comes out. Unless you regularly check several reviews/review sites, most people are limited to TV commercials, ads and billboards which will undoubtedly tout any crap movie as "the best movie evar!". Granted, as a movie buff I spend most of my time at IMDB.com and various other movie resources, so I can pick and choose what I know I'll be willing to see - this summer, it's 'Bourne Supremacy' and 'Harold and Kumar'.

If you believe anything critics say you are a moron... Just look at the examples other posters left.... I loved I, Robot. And I never read reviews because I want to go into a movie knowing nothing about it, makes it more exciting, and as it was already stated... reviews are opinionated. So if you want to hand your potiental GF a census before you start dating here like a freak, that's fine... but most normal people don't do that crap.
Oh well... I still have my Signs DVD...

It was an ok film I have seen worse. I think it's because a lot of people went in thinking it was a scary movie. I figured it out though 30 minutes into the movie and unfortunatly the events that I had predicted were true.
I agree Village sucked. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by movies even AFTER reading the reviews. Researching horsepower and gas mileage is one thing, having someone form an opinion for you on art is another.

Never read the book, I guess.
There's deviating from the book and then there's raping the ideals of the book with a razor studded ***** that shoots out sulfuric acid.
It would be like if they had made the LOTR movies with Bilbo as the main character who was a dectective who uncovers Gandalf's pipe weed smuggling "ring".

What I thought... Way they advertised too.. cheap bastards.
As for I, Robot; no I did not read the book.
