Started off good with some great movies (Sixth Sense, Unbreakable), got to be so-so with Signs. Then fell into turd territory with things like The Village and The Happening (both had good plots 2/3 of the way through.. the endings ruined the whole experience).
Lately he has been in the unbearable to watch category. Anyone plan to go see his new attempt The Visit?
BB related - Mark Walhberg starred in The Happening and Bruce Willis benched more than Heath in Unbreakable.

Bruce Willis was WIDER than Heath in Unbreakable as well.

Only if there's an OVERWHELMING response to it. Otherwise, not a chance; dude's been a consistent dud all century.

Unbreakable was okay , I liked The Village better but that's not saying much
-
I read a review of The Visit that said it was so good, all of his former duds were forgiven.

I did, too, sorta. The only exception for me.

Shitload of forgiveness there. It'd have to be Godfather good for that.
-
No way I'm giving this guy another dime of my money. Let down way too many times.
-
The Village had some potential to it. Just like Signs. But after building up the tension and suspense, the "twist" was a total buzz kill. Sort of like the ending to some of Stephen Kings books. Great plot... suck ass ending.
-
The visit is good, on par with sixth sense imo. It's pretty creepy and he doesn't have retarded twists etc in it.
Worth seeing.

Yeah, I actually liked The Village overall. The previews kind of messed it up for a lot of people. Making it seem like it was incredibly scary so those going for that reason would have been very, very disappointed. Was a good drama moreso.
Lady in the Water was terrible, The Happening had one of the worst cop out endings that ruined everything else, Devil wasn't too bad if I remember correctly.
-
Devil, or whatever it was called when they were in the elevator, was pretty good.

Wasn't his, though. Just produced it is all.

Unbreakable....
Should have been titled Unbearable
-
There is talk of a sequel to Unbreakable. The story had tons of potential, but it didn't rise up to it and the film fell flat. It disappointed because many of us could see what could have been. If there is a sequel I will watch it.

You summed it up perfectly
Same with The Village and The Happening. What could have been..

Yeah i wanted Bruce to fly around, smash cars, and shoot lasers from his eyes whilst Morgan L. Fishburne would stomp tokyo in his Gigantic Mechanical Spider (a la Wild West) at the end!

This, incredibly disappointing. After Sixth Sense, thought he'd be the next Hitchcock or whomever. But a f'n superhero?! Come. On. Sat through all that shitty acting/dialogue (Jackson/Sham, respectively) just to learn he's a living cartoon? Goofy as fuck.
Dude has great ideas at times, and a unique gift for creating cinematic suspense. But he's also a flawed egomaniac, who insists on handling everything always. Isn't open to any input on set, which is why we endure these retarded premises (Happening), ridiculous twists (Unbreakable), and the most embarrassing dialogue ever committed to film ("Swing away, Merrill." - Signs).
Has to have one of Hollywood's worst track records, surprised they allowed it to continue.

Both Willis and Jackson have spoken of their willingness to do a sequel in interviews... I give Shyamalan a lot of credit for coming up with this story... maybe he needs to hand off the next script to another director. He actually writes original stories and sometimes very good scripts... but he shouldn't always be the director. Spike Lee has the same issue.

very good movie. Part 2 would be sweet
-
I like Unbreakable the more I watch it, has a good atmosphere and it's a more real take on someone with superhuman abilities. I think what let it down was the lack of action/events where Bruce could use his strength and abilties.
-
Sixth Sense was great
Unbreakable was okay
The rest are shit, HTH
Guy's gimmick is washed up, like posting in a blue or purple font.

In the theatre it was unbearable
A few years later i watched it on tv and it was it was better than the first time
Watched it again years later and enjoyed it more than before
Could've been alot better though
The movie music in the background was over emotional and too loud

Only saw it once at the theater. Haaaaated it. If I watch it again, will it be better?

Heard it was good but I'd happily watch Mad Max Fury Road for the 58th time instead.
Was anyone else at that dickhead stage of lifting that you critiqued the benchpress scene in Unbreakable to the person watching with you? I know I did cos I was benching about 5kg less than he did.

Absolutely, same here. Nolan is a f'n genius. Watch 'Following' some day; similar tone and structure, but still all its own.

He's made/directed some pretty cool movies. The cause for his sore outings might be believing in his own hype and trying to forcefully reproduce what, most likely, comes naturally to him anyhow.

Saw "The Visit" yesterday, one of the most boring, horrific things I ever watched... Pure shite of a movie....
