Nah. To each his own but I disagree....

If his productions were soulless, no one would be discussing him with this type of fervor.....good, bad or indifferent....

So obviously something is there..It may not suit everyone's palate but something is definitely there...

You know it's possible to hate something because of how generic and soulless it is, right?

If we're talking about polarizing artists, you are correct: it may not suit everyone's palate but something is definitely there.

But this isn't the case with Shyamalan. He's not polarizing like 50% love it/50% hate it, he's universally panned like 6% "love" (?) it/94% hate it.

Having haters can mean that you're doing something shytty as fukk. You can't say "Oh, well if he was that shytty, nobody would talk about him at all." Wrong.

Japan, but from the 989
"Started off with a spark now you just garbage." fukk Shamalanadingdong and his directing career. I hope this recent failure gets him out of the game forever. The fukker fukked up the Last Airbender. He deserves nothing but failure.

M. Knight gets hate because of his arrogance and the fact that he is not white...

All of his movies, no matter how good or bad, were all directed very well from a technical standpoint. He pieces scenes together and builds drama better than most..

However, his writing and his ability to tell a great story has fallen off....

Still, he is the one hollywood guy out of a few that still tries to go against the grain and I respect that...


Shut the fukk up :beli:

He gets hate because he makes GARBAGE films.

Every time with the race card. It's fukking pathetic.

Your movies don't gross 2.5 Billion and 94% of the people hate it. It's obvious people like M. Knight's movies or they wouldn't keep going back to them over and over again. Also the critics don't get it right all the time. They called "Unbreakable" average when it came out and now it's universally loved and even called a Classic in some circles.

I watched a stern interview w him recently . Despite the vast majority of his films being trash, they make a shytload of money for the studio, hence y he's able to keep making these crap movies.

I always thought he got more hate than deserved...until I realized he directed the travesty that was the last air bender. That movie was terrible no lie...below standard for sure

signs is much better than the sixth sense.

cant remember where i even saw it now, but read somewhere that the movie has absolutely nothing to do with aliens. they were manifestations of everyones personal demons, that were only visible to the person who was fighting it at the time. im BUTCHERING this theory, and it deserves its own thread, but it all centered around when the "alien" was trapped in the pantry.
