Lady In The Water

****SPOILERS****





Beautifully imaginative. I felt like a little kid again when I watched this movie. I felt something, really felt something deep.There was raw and sincere emotion that every other movie I've seen lately has been lacking. Shyamalan took a story that resonates within us all and made it modern, then transferred it to film without being entirely cheesey about it. As with all his movies, it was heavy on the symbolism and lacking in plausability. In this movie it works wonderfully however, due to the constant reminder that you are simply hearing a story. No surprize twists, yet he couldn't help but change your whole way of thinking just before the movie's end.

8/10

The cereal box thing got on my nerves, especially when the kid came back and said he got it wrong. If there had been at least a sentence or two explaining how he was able to do it I probably wouldn't have cared at all. You're right, there is always something like this in his movies.

Forgot to mention this; I loved seeing Shyamalan in a central role. I was expecting him to show up in his one -relatively unimportant- scene, like usual. Also, I am in disbelief concerning all the poor reviews. 6th Sense is still his best, but this is officially #2 as far as I'm concerned.
