Lady in the Water Predictions and possible spoilers

[ssampier]

I am really looking forward to this film.

And, I do not think there is a twist in the end. I think people who are the most disappointed with his films are also the most obsessed with the "twist" ending issue.

He's a good film maker. His directing is very good. His actors tend to be very good, and he gets a lot out of them. His writing is compelling. I don't get why people cannot enjoy his movies without it being all about "the twist ending".

I love twists as long it makes sense. I thought the Signs twist was out-of-left field. I thought the Sixth Sense twist was great, but did lessen my desire to see the movie again. I am ambivalent about the Village twist (the first "twist" was obvious, the second was not).

My prediction is that this movie will do very poorly in theaters, but will make up for in DVD.

I think you might be right on the money there.

I think the director missed his mark here. This was based on a story he would tell his girls at night, and my daughter loved it but found the monster too scary. He should have rethought this as a more family friendly movie. It would not have been a big shift.

Who I've never heard of *shrug*

I find that most people are just people. They don't do such really odd things as the people in this film, and that's what bothered me the most.

There is also:

Nightmare

and

The Warshaper (guy on the left)

Well seeing as how there really wasn't one (certainly nothing of significance as say the one in the sixth sense), it's no shock it was lacking.

Except this isn't the real world, it's a fairy tale where such ridiculousness is perfectly acceptable. If you accepted this fact instead of apply real world logic you’d likely be less bothered.
