<p>i saw the movie today and was dissapointed. has anyone else seen it yet. i thought a lot more could've been done with it and the ending just left me wanting more. i was like "that's it?". the ending wasn't that strong, and the rest of the movie could've had more info and been more fast paced. </p>
<p>they should've made the old dude talk more during the movie, giving hidden clues that would've led hudson to some "conclusion" that would have turned out to be wrong in the end. that would have given the movie more of a "twist" ending. </p>
<p>i was enjoying the movie until the end because of the lack of "plot complexity" and "interesting-ness". the ending was just an explanation to why the old dude was dying. not really surprising persay.</p>
<p>no no. i meant the movie was good up until the ending. and for the ending to have been considered interesting or surprising, they should have added some more plot in the middle of the movie, that's if they wanted to keep the ending they have now. if not they could have just changed the ending and made it more of a psychological thriller type thing instead of what it was.</p>
<p>OHHHHHH i really want to see this movie.. but it can't be that scary if it's R13..</p>
<p>Is the movie like, scary? as in JUMP- ARGHHHHH! scary? (like gothika and umm umm you know.. those movis that surprise you and make you jump and scream.. oh like the grudge) or is it gory and horrific? (eg. urban legend, texas chainsaw massacre) beause i don't find the former scary..</p>
<p>nope. not scary or disgusting, though it might have made the movie better to put A LITTLE more creepy things in it and a few more "jump" scenes. </p>
<p>it's more interesting and mysterious. kind of like umm..... the sixth sense.</p>
<p>but the ending fell flat. like i said, the ending could have stayed the same and been better that way if more plot was put in the middle of the movie, but that's not how it turned out. or they could have just changed the ending.</p>
<p>haha sixth sense creeped me out so much when i watched it (i was like 11)
i'm going to go see the movie in the weekend. I'll post my 'review' here later</p>
<p>DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$$ on this one it is <a href="mailto:cr@p">cr@p</a>. Kate Hudson was good in it but the rest of the actors were lame and right abaout the ending left people looking at eachother like "that's it?" some even booed. BTW I went to the advanced screening of it so I saw it on Tuesday of the week it came out so most of these people had to stand in line atleast an hour to get their free advanced screening tickets so the room was full of people who really wanted to see this movie and they booed so that gives you an idea about how good this one is.</p>
<p>yeah i think if they wanted to keep the ending the had, the director should have made the "old guy" say some more things other than "help". perhaps some info that could have been taken both ways and kate hudson could have confused the info. and maybe more info about the whole "it only works if you believe" thing. i dont know more could have been done to make the ending better. or the ending could just have been changed.</p>
<p>haha. yeah she did. that's why it worked at the end. at first she didn't, like when she was doing the "healing" curse of the old man and he spoke to her. she said it was all in his head and described the treatment as...ah i forgot the word. but she basically said using a curse would work cuz he believed it, not cuz she did. but further into the movie she started believing, like when she used the red clay on the floor and, of course, when she did that curse in the end to seal her fate.</p>
<p>so yeah she ended up believing. i think they should've explained why exactly it only works if you believe and how. that would have been interesting. they could have made up some bs like your mind and spirit are connected blah blah blah to make it more of a psychological thriller than a "spooking" hoodo movie.</p>
<p>i'm quoting the movie here so don't get made if this is wrong....</p>
<p>voodoo is a religion.
hoodoo has nothing to do with god or satan. it's pure magic and spell and withcraft from the dominican republic, africa, and native americans. and it only works if you believe in it.</p>
<p>i never saw "the village" but yes i would consider this a huge let down.</p>
