The critics, they want to kill you

The Village, by M. Night Shyamalan, didn't get a lot of critical love. Metacritic has a total score of 44, which is BAD. It is slightly edged out by the generally despised Must Love Dogs which got a 46. I, on the other hand, quite liked it. I thought the acting was excellent, and the pacing just right. I really enjoyed the small 19th century diction and dialogue. I even knew the big secret before I watched it. If you like his movies you will probably like this one.

Despite a number of excellent details, I couldn't get into the Life Aquatic.

The Village was great in my opinion, despite having a low rating.
