Hype, and its subversive effect on audience

Some times trailers of movies just lead you on. From a 45 second promo, the viewer decides to watch or reject a movie.

The example in this case is Manoj Shyamalan's The Village . Going by the hype, the promotions almost self-declared the movie as a hit of the year, a promising oscar winner, and blah blah...
Fortunately for Shyamalan, his track record came to rescue, and most people (incuding me..) fell for it.

The man who did Sixth Sense, Signs, and Unbreakable has made a movie that probably deserves no attention at all. It is unpardonable and absolutely over-promoted. Behind the hype, great cinematography, and mystery-laden publicity, is a film that irks an average movie goer.

The film lacked dialogue, and it almost seemed as if the entire movie was an anti-climax. So, after sitting through till the end, just in proximity of an earth-shattering climax, one falls really hard on the chair. The climax is a huge let down! If you have seen the movie already, my deepest sympathies are with you. And for those who are planning to watch it in the immediate future, my advice is, don't.
