I'll probably love it. Rotten Tomatoes has not been too kind to M. Night Shyamalan in the past though, so we shall see...

52% when the final review is in... which is an improvement for M. Night - even though I'm sure the film will suck pretty hard.

I wanted to say 50%, but it was right on the borderline between the choices. And I figured it would be lower than 50%, if anything, so I went with that choice.

Who cares? Go see it for yourself, don't rely on what other people tell you.

Relying on critics to form your opinions = pointless.

Complaining about what is ultimately a fun and harmless thread = pointless.

Couldn't stand his last two films. This one looks promising and I'll probably check it out.
