a good and a half from me for this scary, effective Shyamalan film. It was basically made in the same way as the first 3 M. Night films.

I can certainly understand why someone would not be overly fond of this film, but I am always surprised at how adamant people are about hating it. Personally, I found it interesting and engaging, with absolutely gorgeous cinematography and a wonderful cast. Bryce Dallas Howard, in particular, was amazing.
I suspect that people were expecting something scarier (though I wouldn't classify Sixth Sense or Signs as horror either) or more exciting, and were surprised to find a more gentle period piece. I would advise viewers to go in with as few preconceptions as possible. Just expect a slower film that concentrates more on the characters than on explosions and gore. As for the "twist", I agree that it was not terribly surprising, but I don't think it was meant to be. All the clues are there, so I think this is more about the character's surprise than the audience's. Oh, and for the people who thought the society was unrealistic I advise you to look into history. There have been many societies like this in all parts of the world throughout human history.
