Professor X has been hooked up to Cerebro for too long...
What do you mean by most? His ONLY good movies are The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.I like most Shyamalan movies, even the ones no one else did, but his work did deteriorate as time progressed so I don't know if I trust him but I do trust McAvoy so I'd be willing to give it a go... Depending on reviews it'll be either on DVD or an actual ticket.
I mean most. The only ones I didn't like were The Last Airbender and Lady in the Water. I liked the Village, I liked Devil, I liked Signs, and for all the crap people give After Earth I still liked it... I wouldn't pay to see it or own it but I didn't hate it.What do you mean by most?

Nah, you're ok, unless they are your estranged family.(because I'll never visit my older family members again if I do)
The Village is just a less interesting ripoff of the novel "Running Out of Time". Literally, the similarities are so striking it's a freaking miracle no one was sued. They are both about a young girl who's on the search for medical supplies in a town that's stuck in the 1800s with elders guarding the truth. Like, the ONLY difference is that the people in the town are a part of a genetic experiment in the novel, while in The Village, they just wanted to withdraw from the outside world.I mean most.

Yeah and Indiana Jones didn't do anything in Raiders of the Lost Ark, still love it.The Village is just a less interesting ripoff of the novel "Running Out of Time".

Devil is......well, in better hands it could be an interesting Twilight Zone episode. But, the big reveal is so obvious and it's still filled with utter stupidity. TOAST FLIPPING JELLY SIDE DOWN MEANS THE DEVIL IS NEAR?!
........WHAT?! How is that a thing?!
I still can't get over that. That has to be one of the stupidest scenes in film history.
And, why do people like Signs?! Signs is just as dumb as a ton of the films that followed. The aliens can't figure out how to open doors or get through boarded up windows? Their biggest weakness is water, yet they invade a planet that's like 70% water?
These have to be some of the dumbest aliens ever.
And, the overall message for the protagonist is God working in mysterious ways to make him lose his faith, and then regain it because reasons?
I seriously do not get the love for Signs. That movie is retarded.
You're trying to justify Shymalan movies. Are you for real?Yeah and Indiana Jones didn't do anything in Raiders of the Lost Ark, still love it.
The Village had good music, good characters and good suspense. Whatever complains people have and how people blow them out of proportion, like my brother who said he saw the plot twist coming a mile away, it's not without merit.
Devil was fun. It wasn't a good movie but it was fun and I get a kick out of it. It's an interesting tale and a neat twist on 10 Little Indians. As for the whole toast thing, people seem to have missed the point. It isn't that toast falling jelly side down is always a sign of the Devil, it's that whenever the devil is present whatever can go wrong does.
Signs was suspenseful and it was masturfully so. It had good characters and the side plots were all very human. Also, the aliens were not unable to get through wooden doors, they just had trouble with them, but they can get through them, even when boarded up, it's how they got into the house, and if they couldn't get through them they wouldn't have needed to barricade the basement door with the ax. The other subtle thing people seem to miss is that the aliens weren't dumb far attacking a planet mostly made of water, they were desperate.
Yes, Shyamalan movies are flawed, but they always have some kind of saving grace, and for these above the good outweigh the bad... Well, at least for me, they do. We live in a world where Michael Bay has made more money than any director that is his better by leaps and bounds so that doesn't strike my confidence of what modern movie goers defined as good.
He said he liked most of them (while no one else did); the individual in question never said his opinion mattered more than anyone else's.What do you mean by most?
I'll watch them, but that's pretty much it. While I loved Unbreakable, I'm ambivalent towards anything else he's done.I like most Shyamalan movies, even the ones no one else did.
Not saying you can't like his movies, but you sure as hell can't argue that they're smart.He said he liked most of them (while no one else did); Berto never said his opinion mattered more than anyone else's.

You.........you've never seen Avatar:The Last Airbender? GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!I was pretty ambivalent towards Last Airbender. I've never seen the original series or anything, so...it was alright to me. But I had nothing to judge it off of. And Lady in The Water is probably one of my favorites of his...but that's totally something I go for (fairytales and myths and they're real, you just don't know it and when they clash with our world weird stuff happens). I liked Signs, Village, After Earth, and Sixth Sense...but I...I didn't like Devil. Then again, I'm mildly phobic of elevators, so...I basically had to sit there, focusing on not having a bit of a panic. (The ending was pretty good, though.) And I don't really remember Unbreakable, so I can't give an opinion on it. -gets why the films are always kinda controversial, but thinks you kinda have to approach each of his movies with an open mind-
Oh...okay. Well, that'll give me an excuse to not see them again. :thumbsup:
Are you trying to tell me what I like? You don't have to agree, but I'm telling you why, anyway. Smarter people than I have made better arguments for each film, not like it's that weird.You're trying to justify Shymalan movies. Are you for real?
Fair enough.And Lady in The Water is probably one of my favorites of his...but that's totally something I go for (fairytales and myths and they're real, you just don't know it and when they clash with our world weird stuff happens).
