I thought it was brilliant. There were plenty of disappointed morons all around me, because they were tricked into sitting through a movie that made them think instead of one where they put forth no effort and have the experience wash over them. I'll probably see this one again.
Beautiful photography, brilliant pacing, brilliant character development. Remember, the name of the movie is "The Village," not "The Things That Live In The Woods And Scare The Shit Out Of Everybody."
The only thing that didn't work for me was the way the Elders talked. If you think about it, it doesn't make any sense for them to talk that way.
