I saw the movieTraptoday with my pal, Eddie.
We had a fun time, including showing the best way to butter popcorn.
But after the movie, we had somewhat clashing takes on what we just witnessed.
SPOILERS BELOW THE MOVIE REVIEW
I’m an M. Night Shyamalan fan.
I really likedThe Sixth Sense,The Village,Signs, and more.
But MNS is known for his twists at the end of movies.
And whileTrapcertainly has numerous attempts at it, something stuck out to me very early in this movie.
During the intro they did a “starring” bit that was a bit long.
MNS himself is in all of his movies.
I won’t hate on that.
This movie takes place at a concert, so that makes sense.
Give his daughter that role.
She’s been releasing music since 2020 to limited success.
Her Dad is a big-wig movie director who has his own unique style.
So what does her Dad do?
And you may be thinking I’m exaggerating, but the movie has FOURTEEN songs by Saleka Night Shyamalan.
Her music was beaten over our heads for over an hour.
It wasn’t bad, I’m not going to lie.
But this was the purpose of the movie.
It wasn’t to deliver another M. Night Classic.
It was to get his daughter into Hollywood.
As far as the quality of the actual movie, I really did not like it.
Eddie made a great retort when he pointed out I was never bored.
They’ve set it up where there is potential for a sequel that I will not likely see.
And while I didn’t like the movie overall, I was entertained and Josh Hartnett was good.
My score of 3.8/10 stands, but at least this was memorable.
