BradWesley123's Movie Journal- June 2010

I won't say much, suffice to say that it's a classic for a reason.

Decent in spots, pandering to young audiences in others, this is an okay film, but a poor Sherlock Holmes film.

The actors are solid, and the makeup is truly great (it won an Oscar), but the script is so cluttered and clunky that it renders the positives redundant.

A rollicking good time. Things do get a bit too convoluted at times, and there are too many characters, but neither take away from the overall good time.

If they ever give out an award for fastest downward trajectory, M. Night Shyamalan will win in a landslide... only to find out that it's been Uwe Boll in a Shyamalan mask for fifteen years! TWIST!!!!! Also, the movie's just pure shit.

It's a proficient film on the technical side, possibly Shyamalan's best looking film, but it's just boring, with a twist that I saw coming a mile away, and that adds nothing to the film.

This has always been a pretty divisive film, but I honestly think it's solid (sans the weak ending). I liked the slow build suspense, and the acting is pretty good.
