    Awesome movie. I really liked it. Great story, characters, everything. I just thought M. Night really recovered from The Villiage with this one.

    So there's someone out there that actually likes it?

    I haven't seen it myself, but critics have been bashing it like crazy... even moreso than The Village (which I actually liked). I'm an M Night fan so I'll watch it regardless of what critics say, but it's good to see that a casual moviegoer actually likes it though.

    I didn't watch it, but I talked to my cousin because he watched it and told me not to waste my money because it was horrible.

    Weird, my cousin told me the exact same thing.

    the first 3/4 of the film are awesome, the last quarter sucks really bad like u have to be 8 years old to enjoy the last quarter. and btw, this doens't follow the same formula as other m. night films. although, i say watch it cause the first 3 quarters are worth the price of admission.

    It's not as lame as "Signs" is it? I don't want no movie about aliens that can't figure out how to operate door knobs.

    No Signs was just retarded. . the whole showing Alien things ruined it. I liked how metaphorical Lady in the Water was, but overall -- it wasn't good at all. Waste of time.

    I have no clue what the hell is going on in that movie from the preview, so I don't want to even go near it.

    Saw it last week, it's a nice and very different film from what Night has been doing, good acting performances from Paul Giamatti and M. Night Shyamalan. Even though I enjoyed it, and I would watch it a couple more times, I wouldn't recommend buying the DVD.
    I was reluctant to watch it until I read a few reviews at IMDB, and decided I had to see it for myself..
