  • This movie was so cute. I loved everything about it. I was a little sad when Clevland and Story didn't kiss, though. :(:)

  • This is probably the worst mocie I have ever seen. I felt robbed when I walked out of the theatre. It wasn't even worth the time I took watching it.

  • @FoolieFishing can you tell me what you didnt like about this film

  • @keanu1336 I saw it years ago so I don't remember everything but I'll give it a try: I didn't care for the characters and the idea about their tasks (that they had the wrong ones first and then changed it) felt very cliché. Scenes that were supposed to be comical weren't funny. The idea about the merpeople and the story about the messianic writer felt like two different stories. The plot lacked internal logic. It felt sort of like an origin story of nothing.

  • love M Nights movies... very dark and scary!

  • u know u know u know u know u know u know

  • (what you didnt know is that this ISNT m night shyamalan)

    DIRECTED BY M NIGHT SHYAMALAN IN THEATERS, DECEMBER 27

  • dont blame bad acting on him

    blame the bad acting on the actors

  • @Myytmovies aight, we'll just blame bad directing on him shall we? and the fact that he went with the bad actors and their bad shots

  • @setfreejr the cartoon or the movie? Cause I thought the Avatar cartoon was awesome :p

  • @setfreejr

    I did watch this interview. Just because a piece of work is original doesn't necessarily mean it is good. 'Lady In The Water' and 'The Happening' might be original but they're also piles of shit.

  • he has a creepy voice. actually, he's just creepy.

  • Apparently he turned down offers to direct movies from the Harry Potter franchise and the Batman reboot. Thank goodness for that. Shyamalan would have ruined both of them.

  • I love this guy. His films all have a twist you never see coming. Lady in the Water is on of my personal favs. Bryce Dallas Howard was incredible and Paul Giamatti is one of THE most underrated actors in the industry. I have to admire the man for NOT bowing to the hiearchy of Hollywood and doing his own thing, his way.

  • Keep making those monstrosities,

    Then tell everyone they're just going to have to guess what it's about,

    Then complain about how the village was a romance not a horror and how the audience keeps guessing wrong.

  • I admire his passion for filmmaking. It would have been easy for him to accept the Harry Potter movies or the Batman reboot (he was offered both) & just do what the scripts dictated. Instead, he used the success of The Sixth Sense & Signs to make personal films; films that even he refers to as "potentially career destroying movies" He's not just producing product for the multiplexes; he had the opportunity to make original films that expressed a clear & individual perspective, & he went for it.

  • This film was terrible. The days of Sixth Sense are long gone.

  • LoL 3:25 "i start looking like the film and the film starts looking like me" and the woman in the poster behind him has a similar messy hairstyle to him

  • it is a good movie and a good story, really well done. i like movies in which the point is to tell a story more than to earn money or points as a good director. the movie treasure planet for example has stuck with me from my childhood because it was such a unique story, and not everyone fit into the stereotypes and obvious places they would have in a normal movie. and the main character's relationships with some other characters were complex rather than predictable.

  • FROM THE MIND OF M NIGHT SHYAMALAN!

  • People when avatar the last airbender book 2 comes out dont waste your time just stick to the cartoons for those who do u already know everything that happens in book 2 so yah don't waste your time

  • @Atheieye

    I completely agree, he is garbage, I go to film school and even my instructors hate him, worse movie ever.

  • @roomgoonsProductions

    That's because you instructor do not know dirt from diamond.

  • the man who butchered Avatar

  • @solidviewer It's a fucking cartoon. Calm down

  • Comment removed

  • @Myytmovies

    I was never not calm dick head, and even if i needed to calm down, i think that the two weeks since i posted that comment was ample time to "calm down" ya langer

  • the greatest Razzie director nominee

  • He fucking sucks..the only good movie he has ever done was the sixth sense and maybe signs.

  • He only made three great films to date:

    1. The Sixth Sense

    2. Unbreakable

    3. Signs

    After that I don't know what went wrong. His career suddenly withered and died

  • "M. Night Shyamalan SUCKS at making movies!" is now officially a Facebook page. haha Time to gather out hatred folks.

  • M Night Shyamalan you SUCK! What he did with Avatar The Last Airbender is unforgivable

  • M Night Shyamalan you SUCK! What he did with Avatar The Last Airbender is unforgivable

  • Can't believe that i've wasted 9 bucks for this shit!!! Pay me back Shyamalan!!!

  • Love his movies. :)

  • he reminds me of that guy from Parks and recreation.

  • He had one great film. The Sixth Sense. He used his one great film to sell his other movies, saying "I'm the guy who did The Sixth Sense. I'm a genius." At first he succedeed, but then, most crtiics started to catch on the trick.

    He's not the worst director that has ever lived. He simply can't repeat the success his one great film did.

  • your all deluded... he is one of the worst directors ever.

  • I could defend every movie of his - even THE HAPPENING - but I cannot defend LAST AIRBENDER.

  • i dont hate this guy but i have to admit i have been really disapointed at some of his movies

  • ohh good i've been looking for this movie for around 4 years i saw it just before i lost contact with my dad and not long ago i found contact again aaaand i found the movie :D

  • within that 4min clip he said you know 156 times

  • poor misunderstood little genius... if only his plot twists weren't so freaking stupid.

  • I'm loving how people think about this guy. They either dispise him or they love him. The opinions on him and his work are so radical. There are lovers and haters and few in between. And those are the most interesting guys to me!

  • BLa bla bla....and.....bla bla bla bla......! This is horrible movie.

  • he is a good director and good actor he have a great filling

  • HE RUINS EVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEERRRRYTH­ING!

  • He's the worst asshole!

  • Shyamalan is so innovative and inspiring. Love this man!

  • i don't think SHYAMALAN is that great..ok The Sixth Sense was great but then all is other movies are like that, he use the same resipy for all his movie..its eriteting. i didn't like sign, to boring! i knew what will happen for the secount plote and ending. he is cheating the way he make is movies to try to scare us more but its not working. change you recipy for movies. all look and feel alike.

  • @pulsare21 You probably possess the worst grammar known to man. Your critique was embarrassing and should never be repeated. He has messed up recently, but his previous movies have been very well done. Grammar Check: I* uses* movies* irritating* too* (wtf is secount)* plot* recipe*. There is spell check for a reason.

  • he's the best !!!

  • Comment removed

  • @BertisEvil66

    Yes, he´s wonderful!

    <----

  • princessnicki63 was the last airbender really THAT BAD?!!

  • @askaluchadore Yes.

  • He's generally a good director. But his screenplays are usually a hit or miss. The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs (until the last plot twist....) were great movies.

  • He has skill, there is no doubt in that. Few filmmakers have a PERFECT career

  • Shyamalan means Fuckwit in India..

  • first two movies were great!

  • he IS a good director, but i lost the meaning of GOOD wen i saw the last airbender. my jaw literally dropped

  • @princessnicki63 in a good or a bad way?

  • YAYYY loved the village lol

  • I don't know, he sounds pretty passionate. But his films always suck.

  • WHAT A TWIST!

  • you know...you said "you know"..a hundred times...you know???

  • why do people hate on him because hes expanded from his formulaic twist movies???? just cuz he wants to take his writing and directing in a different direction doenst mean hes being any worse... you dont always go and see the same type of movie over and over, so why should a director direct the same type of movie over and over?

  • Devil sucked-pretentious. MNS creates dialogue that doesn't exist in North America.

    I thought I was being unfair so I rented and watched (again) 'Signs'--it sucked way too much! MNS doesn't have a connection to American 'human' people. He acts like he's a prince with the greatest emperiors clothes.

  • I love this film  dont understrand what people hate about it. It's different it has funny moments, tense moments with tearful moments and it is a beautiful story. It's a definate thumbs up for me

  • Those that do not understand his movies, simply are have a heart of Mkdonalds, soul of GOLDMAN SACKS & mind of G bush.

    You need to feel, think in his movies.

  • @TheBENGALHANNIBAL I get all his movies and they are very unique; but I also understand why people would hate them. Beyond the concepts and twist leaves little else. People want to be entertained. Most do enough thinnking at work or in their lives and just want to relax and be entertained; not forced to only enjoy a movie based on it's idea but it's entertainment quality as well. MNS is very smart but he is also very boring. No one wants to sit for 2 hours on a story that takes 2 mins to tell.

  • @TheBENGALHANNIBAL I'm currently working on a degree in films and educate myself to become a director. Nobody in my class likes MNS or his movies (Except Sixth Sense)

  • Comment removed

  • I dont like this film. I've tried many times to get into it but it just fails. Its boring, not interesting at all.

  • i loved this movie the wolf was my favorite part

  • this is 1 brilliant indian

  • I think this is his worst Movie.

  • @simonruane you err.

  • @simonruane Nope. The Last Airbender was horrendous.

  • go eat my shit you shitty director!

  • the fact that people are aware of him as director says alot, most people rarely know the dir. face behind some of the worst movies of all time so get a grip. All those that hate but like 2 of his films are plain thick. I'm just annoyed because he should try to be a little less stereotypical and try to get it into perspective and put asian/indian people in the lead role otherwise he'll remain mediocre never be forward thinking and his films will not last the duration. Dont be a sheep.

  • this is my favorite dircetor/writer....i cant wait to go out and see "Devil".

  • @MultiNerve i already know what the movie will be like, he never change the way he make movies. they all look alike.

  • who let this indian up himself fuckhead into hollywood in the first place?

  • just out of curiosity does anyone know what film he turned down to direct which became a huge film? He mentions it at 1:35

  • @buffytariq "Harry Potter" he turned down as far as I know.

  • He's such a good director, people should stop hating.

  • @5613n8 Why can't people criticize him? It's okay to say that Shamalan is a talented person, and that he made bad choices in certain points, or choices that I didn't like and I think, in my subjective opinion, that are BAD.

  • @5613n8 i give you three words you douchebag the last airbender...

  • @5613n8 but you gotta admit, the last airbender was shit. It ruined my childhood completely

  • @jeehoondevil True, I hate Last Airbender but I never watched the cartoon show, I just thought it was poorly made.

  • @5613n8 I totally agree

  • @5613n8 stop trolling ;p

  • The guy's a pretentious turd munger. I bought Lady in The Water for 3 pounds, watched it, then wanted my money and time back. Normally, I would of just sighed and watched something else. But that horrible, self indulgent piece of shit made me so angry, not just because of the blatant bashing of the critics because the Village was shit and he didn't think so, but also because he made himself a writer that would save the world with his bullshit. I literally watch to punch this guy.

  • @MEHOLE M. Night, if you're reading this, I hate you. I hate your gimpy face, smug attitude and your self deluded fans who must have battered wife syndrome, "The Sixth Sense & Unbreakable were brilliant! I, err, never saw any of his OTHER films. I'm pretty sure there isn't any." If Devil is good, then Jesus will be found drunk in a McDonald's somewhere and the sky will turn orange for no reason.

  • @MEHOLE Well yea the rest of his movies suck, but Devil was surprisingly good. SO I guess Ima find Jeasus at Mccdonalds drunk.

  • hindoo bitch

  • Stunning movie and breathtaking soundtrack.

  • @AmericanIdiotSanta

    avatar didn't suck. the last airbender does though...

  • wow hes pretty good, sux that the critics dog him so much

  • He is intelligent.. He does it his own way and not the typical hollyshitreptilewood.

    I like him!!!

  • Another movie that tanked. Apart from Sixth Sense, all his movies were crap!

  • M Night Shyamalan i hate u fucking micheal jackson looking bitch fuck off u fucked up the movie

  • Like the man........But I hate his movies! As a writer myself, I consider him to be my nemesis. But I like his philosophy and I'd probably get along with him if I ever met him.

  • what an insane mother fucker... i kinda like him XD

  • I didn't like the movie - but as a notice writer, I have to agree with the constrictions of formula which are pretty much FORCED onto writers in the form of expectation. Probably the most depressing thing about screenwriting is this expectation of delivering the same thing over and over and over in slightly different ways. Why not something completely different?

    Yeah... I'll never make it to Hollywood... and I'm fine with that.

  • This was a really, really amazing story. I cried, laughed, and was bright eyed like a kid. I liked it a lot.

  • you know

  • amazing histories and brilliant director....and its young still...his best movies are coming...

  • It's kinda sad that Night's films are a bit...no't so liked what they should be. Like The Village, people vere disappointed, couse it was a love story, no't actually a horror movie. I'd like to see The Lady in the water also... :) I loved The Village.

  • This guy is a shit filmmaker, people should stop defending him.

  • This film is just awfull, everything about this film is tedious and pointless. This guy has more bad films than good ones. The Sith Sense(very good), Unbreakable(good), sighns(ok), The Village(ok), Lady in the Water(shit), The Happening(shit), The Last Airbender(shit). He should change his career.

  • Shyamalan is the only director alive willing to test the waters with strange new ideas. Wouldn't you rather have someone being brave rather than someone who constantly plays it safe with Twilight?

  • @xxPatheticEmoxx no lol

  • It sucks because this is one of my favorite movies of all time...and The Happening is one of my least favorite movies of all time...what people don't understand is that this guy is so creative that it takes control of him sometimes. Geniuses have to make mistakes to balance out brilliance.

  • fuck you Shyamalan.

  • amazing writer... bad director

  • I like his movies. This movie was fucking awful though. Truly.

  • @ImDacota Wait till you see The Last Airbender

  • Comment removed

  • i thought it was pretty good. but i saw it quite a long time ago.

  • I can not understand the hate against Shyamalan. I love all his movies and I think he brings something unique yet very personal to each movie.

  • FUCK YOU FOR MAKEING AVATAR LIKE SHIT

  • who in the hell accepted this guy as a director.... he sucks

  • M. Night is the worst, FLOP!!!!

  • only simple minded people think m.nights movies are boring

  • Dude Shyamalan was good back then making the sixth sense, and now he SUCKS BALLS SO BAD i mean WTF has happened to him?!?

  • WATCH AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER IN THEATERS NOW!

  • I like how M. Night doesn't sell out either, and COMING SOON, THE LAST AIRBENDER.

    I'm suprised M. didn't say "when casting the vessel I needed someone who resembles a religious figure the most, then I found the perfect person, ME"

  • Shyamalan, Go make indian movie that doesn't really make any sense and I believe indians will still like it :D

  • this man sucks dick.

  • WOOOW this movie sucked!! M suckalot did you even watch the show. the story line was sooo wrong and rushed. who keeps letting you make movies! this is the biggest movie disappointment of 2010. NEW Director! maybe you should take a class on how to write a fucking story dumb ass. And as a person of color you should know how difficult it is for minorities to get a good role, but you cast all white people. You are a fucking sale-out and a disgrace.

  • i hate m knight he ruined avatar the last airbender stop making movies nobody like them you suck ruined a good show

  • Okay when i saw this movie i gave M. Night a little hand clap. It wasnt that bad so i say good job to him on this (finally) but other wise....everything else is terrible! The happened..Terrible! Avatar..Terrible!

  • i hope he burns for ruining the Avatar movie

  • He doesn't follow conventional filmmaking, but he's no genius either.

    Conventions make movies boring when they become predictable cliches. It's sad to see that the guy that brought us the sixth sense is becoming a synonym of boring, all over the place, etc

  • M. Night Shyamalan is SHIT!!! he should STOP making movies all of his movies suck (except 6th sense) but then they're all FUCK!!!

  • @MACINTOSH4444 yeah then theyre all FUCK!!!

  • m night shamalamadingdong

  • I love his impression of his dad

  • I like Chuck the Movie Guy

  • he looks il bit like Michael Jackson in Triller hahaha

  • he must've said "you know" about a thousand times lol

  • He seriously is not a good screenwriter. Perhaps if he got others to write his scripts for him, his films would be substantially better but his last three to four films have been absolute garbage.

  • yeah but no doubt that 6th sense is an all time classic

  • u know u know u know u know u know

    u know u know lol

    but i love his movie.

    very distinctive and mystic.

    lady in the water was really touching!

  • Hes so cute! i love most of his stuff.

  • is this guy indian? or wat?

  • yea

  • @viveack Yep.

  • he sais you know to much

  • Since Unbreakable his films have be awful, and yet there is still this rabid fan base? I'm starting to suspect they are all hired by M. Night to say nice things about him on the web. Or better yet, in the end we discover they all ARE M. Night. And so am I ! - TWIST!

  • lol?

    i hope "the last airbender" will be a great turn out.

  • well to be honest he stated he wanted to only do 3 major films...sixth sense, unbreakable and signs...all great movies... anything afterwards he decided to work on other movies if he found it interesting but never had any plans to ...i still find his bad movies to be great

  • To be honest, M. Night states all sorts of nonsense by way of self-promotion and self-preservation. The 6th Sense is a decent film with an excellent ending, Unbreakable is a good film that doesn't have a 3rd Act, and Signs is closer to an awful film than a great. Honesty, if you think Lady in the Water, The Village and The Happening are great, we may as well agree to disagree. Personally, I'd like to find out who are the people who love all his movies? Age? Gender? Nationality?

  • I don't know why this movie did not get much stars?

  • this is the best director/writer of all time!

  • @Flaw55 He would be if he did not write a lot of twists.

  • what a twist!!!

  • @Flaw55 Hahaha I see what you did there.

  • @Flaw55 Are you gay...

  • @Flaw55 ya what happened to him

  • Just saw this movie. Best movie I've seen in a very long time. Everyone is fixated on MNS's apparent egomania.  That doesn't take away from the genius of this film. It's no surprise to me that a lot of people didn't get the film, given the crap people have come to accept as good films. I have no doubt this will one day be seen as his best work, and one of the best fairy tale films ever.

  • @spammatube itts not egomania

    his movies just fucking suck

    you honestly think this is better than unbreakable or sixth sense

    those movies actually had characters that not only developed, but wer actually relatable

    this movie was just awful

  • @spammatube It ruined it for me. That was the most vain self indulgent character ever created. Considering Tom Cruise's career; that's saying something.

  • There is a reason why we have film language. It's an optimal way of telling a story and make an impression on the audience. You are more likely to understand a wellspoken person, instead of some guy who switches around his words and randomly starts shouting when he talks.

    Sure it's ok to express anything else than this, and MNS have every right to make his art the way he feels. But films are a projection of the director, and i can't help but feel like this is Shyamalan saying: I'm not mainstream

  • Man I hated that movie. His worst movie by far!

    Doesn't he say "you know" a lot?

  • I THINK HE IS AMAZING ! LUV HIM !

  • i really don't like him at all

  • better? gee what an ass kissing plonker.. this guy needs to sort out whether he wants to be a crap actor or an average director... he seems to have a huge ego and definitely offputting seeing him trying to act in his films

  • He is an awesome director. Can't wait to see how he does Avatar the Last Airbender.

  • dang he saids u know to much lol
