Reviews
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Lady in the Water is one of those M. Night Shyamalan that showcase that he might have been a bit insane to begin with, first of all the movie is dull and boring, the acting kinda meh except Bryce Dallas Howard and those scenes with Bob Balaban and Freddy Rodriguez were laughably bad. Definitely even worse than 'The Village' (3/10)
edgalarza Is film is the worst of M. Night Shyamalan's films I have ever seen. The Six Sense was an awesome film, but the Lady in the Water just seems to feel improvised without a clear moral message to the audience. To me, it was a visual unrelenting rant without purpose. It bored me mercilessly. Not even the pretty redheaded (later in the film, blonde) Bryce Howard could save this film with her good looks. This film is really bad.
jb_campo Besides Paul Giamatti, not much to get excited about in Lady in the Water.Giamatti plays the manager of this apartment complex. He has had something happen in his past that brought him to this place in life. He knows all the various players who live in his complex. He knows all their foibles and faults and good qualities. He's insightful.One night this girl comes out of the pool, Bryce Dallas Howard. This was a disappointing performance, compared to The Village where she was great. She plays this nymph who is going to do something for the planet. Giamatti guards her. All she does is look sad and cower and sometimes smile, and speaks in a soft voice. No much of a role for her, or a performance.This Korean woman and her mother play key roles because the mother seems to know something about a story about a nymph. Giamatti pulls it all together and thinks he knows how to save the day, but does he?There's also a supernatural bad guy who is trying to stop everything. But the tension, well, it's not much IMHO. At the end, a bit of a twist, but not like The Sixth Sense type. Shyalaman loves to get the twists in though. I liked this movie, but it's just OK, so 6/10 covers it. It is what it is, a simple story that was told. Giamatti was great, but otherwise, nothing you will remember.
Filipe Neto This fantasy film talks about the appearance of a sea nymph in the pool of an apartment complex where Cleveland is caretaker. The nymph, Story, will then change the lives of all residents, need to help them to fulfill her mission and return to her world. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (who also is one of the leading roles), has Bryce Dallas Howard as the protagonist. M. Night Shyamalan has accustomed us to stories with a touch of fantasy and imagination. Its as if this remarkable filmmaker refused to grow and would like to make his films with the imagination of a child playing with a camera. And, in this movie, its pretty much what happens, having himself gone head to the front of them and "playing" with the story that he's creating (as he also wrote the script). But don't think that this movie is bad. It's a good movie has touching scenes and reaches the audience for our children's side, the child that we all have within us. We would like that the plot was real and could be a creature so kind and innocent as that nymph. We would like to see people collaborate as in the movie on several occasions. And that makes us enjoy the film.
