I have only really cared for 6th Sense & UnBreakable from this Guy,... More so UnBreakable. Itr might be the comicbook vibe of the film. 6th Sense was too damn slow for me,.. until the last Arc, when you figured everything out,.. or rather when it was shown.

I'll catch this on DVD,... But Next week is HULK for me. :grin:

One of the ads for this film is unintentionally funny. It goes something like:

"M.Knight Shalmalon, the man who brought you The 6'th Sense, Unbreakable and Signs now presents his first R rated movie"

"Translation, the last couple movies from this guy have been bombs so maybe boobies and blood spurting will make you look again"

[Hector]

I can't stand M. Night Shyamalan, I practically hate all his flicks except for the Sixth Sense (and I'm starting to even hate that flick)...he is a hack.

Give me Guillermo del Toro over him anytime.

Signs...

I liked "Unbreakable". To date it's the only one of his movies I've bothered to buy.

I loved Signs. especially since I wasn't thinking about all the problems with the movie until after the movie.

In other words, the movie grabbed hold of me so well in the theater, I didn't see how stupid it was upon close examination. I think it's to a movie's credit that, although it might be far fetched and illogical, it takes you in so much that you don't care or notice (right away).

Signs was a movie like that for me and Face/Off was another.

I'd put the latest Indy movie in there too but that's different, I was aware of the illogic when I was seeing it but I was having fun with it. And I think that's what Speilberg was aiming for....


SPOILER SPACE





Like when Indy survived an Atomic Bomb test by hiding in a lead lined refrigerator that ended up getting blasted clear of the explosion while the bad guys car gets incinerated, I could almost feel Steven Spielberg winking at me and saying "Don't take anything you are about to see seriously fanboy, just sit back and have fun with it" and I did.




END SPOILER

I do like Shyamalan, it's just that I have had no desire to see his last few movies (at least in the theaters)

Mike I loved those shirt iron ons as a kid. I had the Enterprise one but I really wanted the Klingon Power one. I totally dont remember what did they go with?

[jayihdz]

I like unbreakable....and that's it....

[JDeRouen]

I liked most of his movies, including Signs. Didn't care much for the Village, though, and have yet to see Lady in the Water.

"Hey-hey-hey!"

[BlackKnight]

I so Badly want this Movie to tank. My Movie theater put this Movie, instead of the Hulk, in the Big Premire theater. So I didn't get to see the Hulk Movie as big as it could have been. :muh:

[Bo8a_Fett]

Unbreakable has definately been his stand out movie.

[jwyblejr]

I'm waiting for the Robot Chicken spoof. "What a twist!"

[unataper]

I am glad to see that so many here liked Unbreakable as I have always thought it was his best film. But seriously, after paying full price for The Village....I Won't Get Fooled Again!! :terror:

I hated the Village the first time I saw it, but on second viewing I realized I was being too hard on it. It's actually a pretty intriguing little Twilight Zone-type story. Lady in the Water I found very amusing, not crappy at all like so many people seem to think, but rather self-consciously odd and certainly unique. I'll give Happening a chance after I see Hulk two or three or eight more times!

[Hector]

Nothing personal, Vort...but...

Lady in the Water was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life.

Nothing but a self-serving flick to fill Shyamalahack's own ego...everytime he was on screen trying to act, I wanted to punch his face to a bloody pulp...oh I hate that flick with a passion...and don't get me started on that stupid lawn dog, or whatever the hell it was...argh.

The only other movie that's actually worse is Tom Green's Freddie Got Fingered...I just wanna punch Shyamalahack's face...but with Tom Green...I want to actually kill him.

[Danzvader78]

I thought The Happening really sucks big time The story plot is really terrible Who ever heard of young kids getting shot with gunpowder and getting run over by a lawn mower monster IT can do better than that lol It will go flying zooming to the flop pile of DVD Movies soon on believe me

[Vortigern99]

Yeah, Hec, I know, most people feel that way about Lady. It's just up to me to champion those ambitious Hollywood oddities that everyone else despises, like Ang Lee's HULK, Lady in the Water, Frank Oz's Little Shop of Horrors, and Attack of the Clones. Somehow I always end up fighting for the underdog! (But no, I haven't seen Underdog!)

Who hates "Little Shop of Horrors"? I love that movie! Last Halloween it was part of my all-night monster movie marathon :)

[toys2cool]

ahh.. it was alright for me,if I would've known what it was about I would'nt have gone to see it honestly,better wait for DVD

I actually like Unbreakable and signs,but I loved the 6th sense.Still one of my top horror flicks :grin:

[YoungOnce]

I went and saw The Happening. The dialogue was incredibally bad and I can't remember when I've seen a movie where the actors were so obviously "acting".

The story wasn't so bad... the creepy elements were well shot and executed. M. Night does have a unique grasp on horror and I enjoy his pacing and understatement but I just couldn't believe that those were the acting performances everybody wanted.

[Goblin19]

Shyamalan would serve himself well by directing someone else's script. That is, if his ego isn't too big for that. It worrked well for Spike Lee with Inside Man.

[txteach]

This movie was just plain horrible. I wasted 2 hours I can never get back. Last time Nite conns me (first time was lady in the water).
