When anyone is successful, most of the world finds pleasure in trying to discredit that. I personally love M. Night Shyamalan's moves and I can't wait for The Happening.

i don't know, but i love him.

Those films (Sixth Sense, Signs, and Unbreakable) were actually enjoyable. The other two were utter crap in my personal opinion. I mean I am no filmmaker but I was expecting something great coming from M Night needless to say I was disappointed. I am hoping his new film is good though.

You must not have seen The Village. How does anyone call a movie about a blind woman, running around in the woods, looking for medicine, being spooked by fake monsters, entertaining. The movie was way over hyped.

Let me refresh your memory, here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB55bv4B8...

You honestly don't want me to get started on the rest of his movies, such as Lady in the water, Sixth sense, Signs, etc..

I think because he has movies that are about super phenomenal experiences. A lot of things that people fear because it is of the unknown.

I think that the movies that were good were the first ones, because they were original. But take the Village for example, and you get the use of red, and a secret at the end. Is it not the same as the Sixth Sense? The thing is that once you follow a formula, people find your movies boring because they are all parallel in format, and non-original.

I personally liked the sixth sense and signs - I haven't seen some of his others.

I think he suffers from the same problem that musicians often complain of. You have 6 years to make your first album, and only 6 months to make the second one. While you're trying to "make it", you come up with songs, and you let the so-so ones slide and over the course of time, by the time you get "discovered", you've come up with an album's worth of good material. But after your first big hit album goes gold, everybody wants more. The record label wants your second album in 6 months (before interest in you has wained). So you make a couple of good songs, the rest are so-so, and everyone is disappointed in your second album.

He had years to think about the sixth sense. Signs was probably his "plan B" movie to make it big, so he had put some thought into that. But then he's got to crank out some more while he's still a hot item, but his next ideas aren't allowed to be refined - they come out with a bit less quality of writing. Now that's not to say that they are bad movies - the could be above average, but because his first two were so good (some would only say his first one), the others pale in comparison. I'm willing to bet "the village" is a pretty good movie, but I doubt it is in the same league with "The Sixth Sense". If "The Village" was his first movie, I'd bet people would think it was pretty good, but because it gets compared to his eariler works, it looks kind of shoddy by comparison.

I like him too, I think he has a different style from other Hollywood directors. He has a vision and he always get what he wants. The sixth sense and Signs are really good, but I also agree that The Lady in the water was horrible, that's why people have been critical with him, they are only remembering the bad. I'm curious to see his next movie, I hope it will be better than his latest films.

his movies suck :-(
theres a reason to be critical.

i am a fan of every Shyamalan film. I don't really mind others : )

every film has its own unique & distinct taste.

the people who are critical about shymalan are movie critics. i guess people were expecting a shocking ending like the sixth sense, but there was none of that with lady in the water.
