The ending was a bit dissapointing but at the same time a relief because it wasnt predictable "like many movies" until the truth about the monster was revealed.

I figured out what the village was all about bfore the movie was halfway finished. I mean all of it. It started with me thinking, "Hey what if they're really in the present day and decided to go live in the woods to get away from the corruption of the real world?". It was just an idle thought at the time because I figured that there would have to be a plot twist somewhere in the movie. The more stuff that was revealed like the little boxes in all the elder's homes, the realization that such a society would need something like the monsters to keep it's people there the more certain I was of the plot.

I say it's not a good movie because I want real monsters or at least a plot twist I can't see coming.

I think a part of me wanted the monster to be real so i think i blinded myself from thinking it has to be fake. Even though i should have known better after seeing the other movies. But i see what you mean.

I thought The Sixth Sense wasn't terrible. I'm not a fan and haven't seen any of his other movies. I think he might be overrated.

Now, concerning critics: It's a tough gig. It's stupid to dismiss all critics. I bet every damn one of you reads them at least once in a while.
