This movie is not scary and it is no masterpiece. It's compelling, though.
I didnt needed to be scary...but it sure is tense as fuck. Its a visual and acting masterpiece. People will study McAvoy´s performance in the future as the first true moment of acting. We didnt knew what a performance was until James McAvoy.

I've been on the fence about wanting to see this one. The trailer looks silly, and the name Shyamalan alone is enough to avoid a movie. But the good reviews, the enthusiasm in this thread, and the cool spoiler I've read point me toward finally going to see this one this weekend.

I'm interested to see what you think. I personally believe the cool spoiler (assuming I know which one you're talking about) has nothing to do with the movie and knowing it does not at all change the film itself. Which is kinda weird. I'm curious if you agree as someone who knows the spoiler ahead of time. I wonder if/how that colors your experience the first time through.

I just watched this. I really liked it. McAvoy and the main girl do great work. But I found the resolution to be really fucking limp and actually incongruous with the themes it was developing up to that point. Huge missed opportunity in that final confrontation.
Oh, also the very last bit was dumb. You know, the bit that was surely debated over whether it should be an after-credits scene or not. I wish that wasn't there.

I mostly agree about the final confrontation. I disagree about the very last bit. But totally understand why you feel that way.

I felt the same way about the final act. It felt a bit out of sync with the rest of the movie, but I'm not even sure how I would want that story resolved. I just want more McAvoy.

What did you feel was incongruous, precisely? I'm still not exactly sure what the movie is saying by the end.

I really liked the final act, just the very end of their face-off went in a totally different direction than I was hoping it would, and kind of left what seemed to be the central thesis of the movie dangling there. Maybe this was to accommodate the inevitable
