I think that M. Night has generated enough goodwill from us moviegoers that we can give him a flop or two (The Village & Lady in the Water). But as the saying goes, the third time’s the charm.

The trailer looked good. The story looks good. The actors look good. This should all add up to a good movie, right? If it flops, he’s done. If it’s good, he’s back.

I have loved all of m night’s movies….i dont know why everyone hates lady in the water it was a real thrill ride for me, guess its one of those you love or hate. I have never been bored in any of his films and altough the village was a bit of a let down, the whole movie was a masterpiece…just cause the ending was bad doesnt mean it was a bad movie.

Mind you, the entire concept of “expecting a twist” is incredibly self-negating. If you ARE expecting a twist, you should save yourself the disappointment and hope that there isn’t one.

I am actually really excited for this. I was also really excited for The Village. I mean really excited. And that has to be the biggest let down I have ever experienced. I couldnt sit through Lady in the Water, but I’ll give M. Night the benefit of the doubt that he can pull off a quality movie.

The Sixth Sense was good, as was Unbreakable (once you realize it is a comic book movie). All the rest of his films have been crap fests with telegraphed “Twists”, that are given away by the trailers.

That trailer was pretty lame, but it also seems to have given a lot away, as I have a pretty good guess of what the twist is from just that trailer.

I am so sick of Shyamalan’s manufactured suspense with little or no pay-off. It seems Shyamalan just learned how to film suspenseful scenes, but skipped learning how to craft a story and make the suspense actually build to a meaningful pay-off. I have seen Slasher flicks with better pay-offs than Signs, The Village, and Lady in the Water.

I am pretty much done with his movies, and have no interest at all in The Happening, unless I hear amazing word-of-mouth about it.
