<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The only thing this movie made me want to do was sleep. The story went way too slow. It never really got anywhere it felt. I was waiting and waiting for something important or interesting to happen and nothing really did. And the ending just seemed kind of...drab. I feel bored...and tired. Oh well. :)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Throughout the movie I was getting the impression that Shyamalan was trying too hard to make another Sixth Sense. It was creative, I'll give it that.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I liked it, but it just felt too much like 6th Sense; slow build-up, and a surprise ending in the final five minutes that ties in with the eerie beginning. Of course, this is because they have the same writer/director, but still...</div>

It wasn't JUST the movie, damn you people :)

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>The setting helped a lot. I doubt you watched it on a Sony Wega, on DVD, with good quality headphones on, in the dark, all alone.
I let myself get taken in by the movie, went beyond it. I felt for the characters and tried to empathise.

That made the movie emotional, but it didn't make me cry. For that I willed myself and had myself cry. I didn't have to cry, I could have just gotten up, said "good movie" and gone to bed with dry eyes. I wanted to. Don't ask me why.. best I can come up with is I wanted to be able to say a movie made me cry. I hadn't cried in such a long time that maybe I wanted to make sure I still could.. make sure I wasn't cold hearted.
Guess I did want to be able to say a movie made me cry... picked one hell of a unique movie though, didn't I?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm curious, ummmmm why are you such a prick? Perhaps it's just a joke just between me and him?</div>

Your "joke" seems very one-sided from here, but if I make you sad, I won't even talk to you anymore. Better?
