[RajWatts]

1999 85% The Sixth Sense

2000 68% Unbreakable

2002 74% Signs

2004 43% The Village

2006 24% Lady in the Water

2008 17% The Happening

2010 6% The Last Airbender

2013 12% After Earth

Only 68% for Unbreakable? Hmph.

His work between 99 and 02 was great although The Happening is pretty fun to watch if you're in the mood to watch a really bad movie and laugh at how stupid that shyt is. The Last Airbender was insulting. at After Earth.

Bottom line: He had a spark when he started but now he's just garbage.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

After destroying The last airbender like that he should've been banned from hollywood and whoever hired him to do it should have been fired too.

 

[HipHopStan]

at the studio hiding M Night's name in the previews of After Earth so you won't know he directed it.

 

[nalej]

how the fukk does he keep getting hired

 

[KingSamie]

Uwe Boll STILL takes the cake though. But shyt, you'd think these studios would know better than to hire these trash ass directors.

 

[Birnin Zana]

Uwe Boll is still the GOAT worst director ever...

But damn, everything after Signs by shyamalan has been straight ass...and he still gets a big budget with A list actors in it.

How in the hell is that possible?!

While his last 4 or 5 movies have been mediocre or flat out trash (have not seen Last Airbender or After Earth yet)... I think he gets more hate than he deserves especially from critics who seem eager to bash his flicks because of his cocky/arrogant personality... They went ape shyt and turned on him once he started comparing himself to Spielberg... So it's kind of cool for people to bash him now..

He made 3 great movies and then one decent one IMO with the Village...

I don't think he's anywhere near as bad as someone like Paul S Anderson... that dude has completely butchered what could have been a great video game storyline and turned it into a generic Matrix type action movie. I don't see him o getting anywhere near as much hate as this guy does...

Uwe Boll didn't fukk with studios though he kept himself in business through some kind of German tax loophole that helped him budget his own films.

Now M.Night Shyamalan I have no idea how he's still around. He probably knows some important people.

Word, the Resident Evil movies should've been waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than what we got. Dude have almost all the ingredients given to him (via the games) to make a great film, instead, we have a chick named Alice just doing shyt over, and over, and over...

Oh word? He's still a master at butchering video game licenses though lol.

Yeah, imo all of his movies are except for Rampage.

Paul WS Anderson was always garbage though. I guess Event Horizon was pretty good but it's not like he had a drastic fall off.

And M Night was never THAT good. The first two are good films but hardly masterpieces.

In terms of fall offs I'd say Francis Ford Coppola takes the cake. His 70s run of The Godfather Part I & II, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now is up there with anyone. After that

I quite like Rumble Fish and his recent work has seen him go back to more experimental art house cinema and has been an improvement, but still he went from The Godfather to Robin Williams' Jack

 

[Black Magisterialness]

you can't fall off when you were never that good to begin with....the sixth sense was OK...

people were just bugged by the twist....it wasn't THAT good of a film IMO
