I'll be frank... i did not enjoy this as much as his other movies. But let's be honest, it is not a bad movie at all as the audience still wants to know what happens in the end.The cast was pretty good i thought except Bryce Howard did not seem to have that ethereal quality that was required for the 'Narf'... maybe someone like Uma Thurman would have been nice. Paul Giamatti was good as always. Shyamalan himself was miscast i thought.
Possible Spoiler : The problem with this movie was that it did not draw you in like Unbreakable, signs and 6th Sense.... the main characters in those movies did not believe what was happening to them and took their own sweet time to admit the truth and took the audience along with them. In this movie Giamatti was quick to believe and so were the rest of the building tenants in forming 'the Guild' and being the Interpreter. As for twists, there were more than enough twists..... but i felt that they were a bit too well telegraphed and most moviegoers would figure it out anyway.
No matter what you say about Shyamalan... people will still go to see his movies.. even if it is just to see him fail.
