I just went to see what I like to call the worst film I have ever seen in my life. It is called Lady in the Water and it is directed by M. Night Shyamalan. And it is awful.
I do not want to give anything away for those of you who have not seen this film yet. I hope that no one has been eagerly awaiting it's release, because if you have you will be dissapointed as all hell!
Basicly, this movie had bad acting, an awful unbelievable storyline, mistakes and it seemed to be improvised as the actors went along.
The director himself has a main role in the film. He should have stuck to just directing. Acting is not one of his talents, and after seeing this film, neither is writing. The cast is full of nobody's except Paul Giamatti and a very tiny role which stars Bob Balaban, who played the NBC boss, Russell Dalrymple, on episodes of Seinfield.The other actors are either annoying as shit or just plain bad at acting and very unconvincing. Sometimes it seems that they are reading their lines off cue cards instead of from memory, like they should be doing. Some of the characters are also very stereotyped.
Do not even get me started on the plot! It opens with this asinine story about people in the sea communicating to humans, complete with narration over badly drawn stick figures. The story becomes increasingly ridiculous and unbelievable throughout, and it seems too much at times. People would just not take to the situations presented in ths film so willingly as is shown. It just becomes a confusing mishmash of strong coincidence and unrealistic crap.
There is a big mistake (at least it seems to never have been explained), where the main character has red hair through out the film to, only later, develop blonde hair. How they thought this would go unnoticed, I do not know.
There is no really scary parts except when the odd loud bang comes in.
There is a scene that sums up the entire movie which starts with a viewpoint from behind some leaves of a bush on the ground with terrifying music playing in the background, cut to a man with one large, muscled arm holding a broom to fight a grass-dog.
There is just too much to say about this film but I would have to give things away to say them. I have never seen a worse film and I have seen Troll 2...I even own it. At least Troll 2 is funny because it is so shit. Lady in the Water is not even funny because it is shit, it is just shit. Period
