Lady in the water

madrab

Just saw this movie last night & i was severely let down by it, definately not one of Shyamalan better movies & i especially didnt like the fact that

Shyamalan himself plays the part of a writer that will change the world - sounds like he is getting way too cocky with his success

anyone else seen it?

I just saw the add for it last night and it looked pretty weak to me.

Tusky

Fairly bad alright and im a big fan of his.

MisterAnarchy

He has gone downhill steadily since Unbreakable getting progressively worse with each film.

Loved all his films immensely (even 'The Village'.. which people are too harsh on) but switched this off about 30 minutes.

Shame... even the usually great Paul Giamatti couldn't inject some life into this one.

Might try and watch it again... but definitely not adding this to the rest of my M Night Shyamalan titles in my DVD collection!

I really wish they'd change the TV spots.

"Now he'll show you the terror in your own back yard"

How many people have a swimming pool in the UK and Ireland? And who the hell has a 'yard'!?

Shhh I can't hear you, lalalalala *plugs ears with fingers*

I'm a huge Shyamalan fan and I've been looking forward to this for ages. Yes Unbreakable was slightly cock but his other films more than made up for it.

Balls anyway

He had one hit with the 6th sense which was brilliant,but since then every movie he has made has been pure crap. Especially the village.

You know, I actually really like Unbreakable. Moreso than The Sixth Sense even. I think it's due to low expectations; the fact that I was all ready to see it when it came out, then I got word that it was awful and didn't bother with it. I rented it out then a while later, and found it was actually quite to my liking.

I still want to see The Villiage, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Basq

Most people i know think 'Unbreakable' was a superior film to 'The Sixth Sense' and i'd probably agree with them.

'The Sixth Sense' doesn't stand up to repeated viewings like 'Unbreakable' does

imo,

1. The Sixth Sense
2. The Village
3. Signs
4. Unbreakable

??? Lady in the Water.

i think i know what happened to shyamalan after the 6th sense. he said to himself:

"people know what's going to happen in films because they all follow the same plot. how can i deal with this?"

and he hummed and hawed and came up with:

"i know!!! i'll make films that make absolutely no sense. i'll make aliens who burn when they come in contact with water land on a planet where it rains every 8 seconds and walk around alone, unarmed and naked. also, i'll make them unable to break down a locked wooden door. then i'll make a film where people in suits scare their children so they can live like the amish."

a critic descibed shyamalan as "not afraid to dabble in the ridiculous". maybe he should be

madrab

maybe you should spoiler that for poeple that havent seen those movies

I really dislike him and his films. He just seems like a one trick pony. If anyone has ever seen the Robot Chicken episode with him in it, it's a perfect skit. He walks around and every two seconds something unexpected happens and he turns to the camera, smiling and screams "What a twist!" And that's the basic formula for his films. Oh and having no music and ten minute gaps of silence between each line of dialogue! :mad:

crybaby

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this one doesnt have a twist though

seems to be getting bad reviews across the board, not a big fan of Shyamalan's
apart from Unbreakable but for some reason im dying to see this film in the cinema the trailer really sucked me in and I loved Sideways so looking forward to seeing Paul Giamati in this.

humanji

So it's just the same boring thing for two hours then?

RAIN

Somebody write the plot and spoiler it so i can put my mind at ease ..i dont want to waist my money

azezil

Holy predictable plot twists batman!
