There was nothing wrong with Signs. It was a perfectly decent comedy.

I thought both Signs and The Village were awesome. Lady in the Water was way different than I was expecting, but I liked it for what it was. I even liked The Happening. I am proud to not be a part of the Shyamalan hate-train.

Signs was good, and the aliens melted by water does make sense in ways. Think about humans, we would populate a planet that had oceans made of lava if the rest of the planet supported us. Fuck, people want to colonize Mars, a planet with no fucking atmosphere to speak of. It's not like there are billions to pick and choose from. So yeah, just don't go in the water.

Village was good, I saw it without knowing anything about it though so the twist was still a minor shock when it happened.

The Happening though.. too short, not enough explanation, Marky Mark. Could have been a solid movie but wasn't fleshed out enough.

Guess I need to DL this series, seems interesting enough.

The water melting aliens does not make sense. Most life on this planet = contains mostly water. It rains water. The air you'd breath CONTAINS water. Most of our planet is covered by water.

Those aliens needed to learn2scout better.

Signs might be the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. 6th Sense was average at best, and every other movie he has made since has been terribad. I might just be blinded by rage tho, I hate his movies. I always see all of them too just so I can see that point where there is that retarded plot twist to terribly wrap up whatever crap he was going with when he started the movie. But just the premise of this movie has me convinced that this will be his best movie since 6th sense, which won't be a very hard thing to match.

you hate M night but you watch every movie? dude, denial isnt just a river in Egypt.

People like to bitch about things, can't bitch about it unless you at least attempted to watch it, or just say something like "and I have never walked out on any movie, but I walked out. Totally unbelievable, this is horseshit, M Night WILL PAY DEARLY RABBLERABBLERABBLE!" or whatever. Really, if Signs is the worst movie you've ever seen, you haven't seen many movies.

Bo Jackson · 06-30-2009, 01:04 PM

I say it's the worst because it angered me the most I guess. Technically it's not the worst you're right. But it's very bad. Like all his movies imo. And yes, I do watch them all, its the only way to see how bad they are.

1. Invade a planet that is 70 % water and hope it doesnt Rain on you

2. Can jump over building but cant get out of a pantry

3. Has invisible space ships but there mapping system is making designs out of crops and there best weapon is a powder spray that comes out the wrist....

I havent seen the movie in a while but it really didnt make much sense.

Sure you can. It's like voting, only the people who don't do it are the ones who can really bitch.

i dunno,as much as i like to nitpick i dont care that 30 foot jump should be enough to encave a pantry door. im still not sure why they made crop circles, i doubt you could use them as beacons because you cant see them from orbit let alone another galaxy.

CyrusReij · 07-01-2009, 12:17 PM

Ignoring the whole aliens who die from water poisoning thing, I found Signs to be very entertaining/suspensful, the first time I saw it. After you see it once, thats about it cause you know when all the aliens jump out of the closets and shit. Lady in the Water was a big huh?, but I like Paul Giamatti, so it wasn't a total loss. The Village was decent, I would have preferred an actual monster in that one, as opposed to Lady in the Water. Never saw 6th Sense/Happening/Unsomethingorother.

With that said, I don't like the Last Airbender cartoon, and thus I couldn't care who directs this, I won't like it :\

Lol you missed everything decent by him, happening was funny if you went in with it as a comedy.

Brikker · 07-01-2009, 07:06 PM

I personally view The Happening as the attempted making of a B-movie. Unfortunately for M. Night, he didn't tell anyone he was going for this, so we all just assumed he made a horrible ass movie.

Unbreakable is far and away his most awesome movie.
