There are some bad reviews written about this movie. But I think it's misunderstood by some what this movie is trying to be. Is everything that happens in the film realistic? No. It's not trying to be. Shayamalan is self aware of this, and he uses his unique style to take an intriguing story, and make it very entertaining in a way that only he can. If you go into the film with an open mind and don't let a few moments of mediocre acting here and there bother you, you'll definitely enjoy. One particular strength of the film, which is rare is find, is that it builds and builds and gets better and better toward the end. Not all movies achieve that, particularly in this genre. If you're an M Night Shayamalan fan, this movie will not disappoint. It's one of his best in my opinion.

This film is a parallel to Job from the Bible. Truth is, watching this film made me feel like I was being punished. It was that bad. I felt like I was Job. I leaned over to my wife and asked if she wanted to leave the theater. In our fifteen years of marriage I have never done that. The film was too long. Too boring. Too scattered. Didn't make sense. And lacked cohesion and rhythm. It's hard to describe how bad it was. I do like some of the messages portrayed here. But it was essentially a mix of Dr Strange, hallmark, marvel multiverse, and a Christian background. It didn't feel like a sci-fi or a romance or a drama. It didn't know what it was. So it ended up being very poor.

Just overall a terrible disappointment. How Matt Damon got to a point in husband career where he thought this film was a good idea, I will never understand.

I don't know what the critics' problem is with this film. They call it unimaginative, lacking of plot, and hard to follow...when the truth is, the film is amazingly entertaining, HILARIOUS, and easy to follow. The cast gets better throughout the film as incredible actors/actresses continue to step onto the screen (e.g. Barry Pepper).

The action sequences leave you breathless, on the edge of your seat and begging for more. Hans Zimmer did an incredible job with the score! I went into the film a little skeptical, given all the negative reviews, and perhaps that is what made this film such a pleasant surprise. I loved every minute, though at times it did feel a little long. In the end, however, I didn't want it to end! I haven't seen a film with this combination of comedy, whit, action, plot, did I mention comedy? and enthusiasm.

Is it exactly like the old "Lone Ranger" radio/TV show? NO! If you want that, then go watch it! THIS Lone Ranger is up-to-date and gives Tonto an actual personality and background that plays well into the story.

Great movie to see on the 4th of July weekend. Be sure to check it out, and never mind what the lame critics have said about it, for their own reasoning that is just NOT in accordance with what this film is really like.
