Movie Reviews of Lady in the Water (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: it's M. Night..You either like the "Twillight Zones" or NOT!
Summary: 3 Stars
Look..I can see the crazy "Two Ends of the Spectrum" on the movie.
It's like Broccoli! You either appreciate his "nutrient-rich potent-intellectual" space he works around or you don't get it!
I have a real good attention span. I even like to watch a movie over and over till I feel I REALLY got it. What did I miss that could explain it better? How was the sound and music production. The special effects. Were they overdone? Was a scene necessary? Did I like that particular angle or shot.
If it's a silly movie like "Canonball Run" or "History of the World pt. 1" then whatever..yes, it what it is. I still watch them over and over for various reasons that I enjoy.
Most people who dig sports (and ONLY sports) are probably not going to like M. Night or anything that challenges a "slower pace"-thought provoking or social commentary arena. These people are not "Onions". They think in binary (black and white) (Winning or losing) (Pork n Beans)
Every time I see an M. Night..I don't expect "Hollywood" entertainment with explosions and action with little plot (that's for the sports fanatics)
So he is what he is. "a Current Day Twilight Zone - Rod Serling style director".
It's like seeing a "David Lynch" film. You either have the 4 dimensional mind to handle and enjoy it..or not!
And by the way..this is nowhere NEAR the worst movie ever made. You forget there are thousands of high and low budget, unknown films made over the past 30-40 years (Best Defense, Ishtar, Night at the Museum) that don't even come close. So please...spare us the immature and in experienced comments such as these.
It really just insults your own intelligence anyway.
Summary of Lady in the Water (Widescreen Edition)
Or, if you prefer, I See Wet People. M. Night Shyamalan's attempt at a newfangled mythology--about a depressed apartment superintendent (Paul Giamatti) who discovers a sea-nymph (Bryce Dallas Howard) who may hold the key to humanity's hopeful future--is intriguing enough to capture the imaginations of children and adults who haven't lost sight of their innocent sense of wonder. Cynics, on the other hand, will likely scoff at Shyamalan's awkward fantasy, which includes one victim--a film critic--widely interpreted as Shyamalan's revenge against reviewers who panned The Village. Shyamalan originally improvised this melancholy fantasy as a bedtime story for his children; unfortunately, it still feels mostly half-baked and ultimately ineffective due to a number of plot holes and inconsistencies that a writer as talented as Shyamalan should've been able to avoid. For those wishing to learn more about the film's troubled history, and Shyamalan's petulant split from Disney studios, The Man Who Heard Voices: Or, How M. Night Shyamalan Risked His Career on a Fairy Tale is an interesting read. --Jeff ShannonApartment building superintendent Cleveland Heep (Giamatti) rescues what he thinks is a young woman from the pool he maintains. When he discovers that she is actually a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the journey back to her home he works with his tenants to protect his new friend from the creatures that are determined to keep her in our world.Running Time: 109 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569763753 Manufacturer No: 76375
