And yes, it was bad. Review forthcoming, but I'm totally in agreement with you: his worst film so far. I saw it tonight as well. And yes, it was bad.

I was going to say that it was better than Lady in the Water, but at least that had decent acting. So, i would say this is Night's worst film to date. Just saw this film. It was bad.

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:05:36 +0000 http://thereeladdict.com/in-defense-of-m-night-shyamalan/#comment-3834 After the success of The Sixth Sense, I think the problem people seem to have with his movies is that they are expecting that big AH HA, DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING AT ALL moment from every one of his films. They are literally looking to see some huge twist and are disappointed when there isn't much of one, or that they see it coming a mile away. I think this is seen as failure and a letdown to most people. Compairing all his films, The Sixth Sense was a masterpiece and each film after it has been less and less stunning. I've enjoyed all his films (except Lady in the Water - awful) and have always gone opening weekend because I'm anxiously curious to see what he's going to do next. Unfortunately for him to get the appeal of the masses back, I feel he's going to have to recreate the feel of The Sixth Sense or completely change his style and be proven again.
