You didn't like the one where Marky Mark talked to a tree?

Come guys, for science

Its a good comedy I guess

 

[dorkimoe]

He should just direct trailers and never make them into movies

That being said, I loved glass

Glass has one of the dumbest endings in the history of movies.

 

[EviLore]

Creepy.

 

[SJRB]

It's a Shamalan movie where you expect a clever twist because "oooooh Sixth Sense" but it ends up being nowhere near as clever as you expected.

Also feels like this is one of those trailers that basically show the entire movie.

 

[DragoonKain]

Is that my man Rufus Sewell? Miss seeing him in stuff.

yea its him , dude was great in darkcity

 

[The Hamburglar]

Looks like a used condom

 

[godhandiscen]

I didn’t finish the trailer since they spoil too much.

There is such a lack of surprise nowadays in movies that I am willing to give M. Night Shyamalan another chance.

And I wanted Glass to be unbreakable levels of amazing.

 

[teezzy]

I really enjoyed that one he made about the kids who visit their loopy grandparents

Is that the visit or something,that was wicked.

Lmao yeah

People forgot about that when the multiple personalities one dropped

 

[cormack12]

Anyway watch this? I thought it was great

 

[GardenOfAbbylon]

I wasn't bored during this movie. That's what matters to me.

 

[Revolutionary]

Solid 7/10 for me. Kept me intrigued, acting was solid, and the 'twist' (not really a twist) was relatively clever.

That's overly generous.

I haven't seen all his movies yet. And really opinion is just that, opinion. Like, people hated the Village. I actually enjoyed it. Signs was great though. I saw part of The Last Airbender, but I didn't hate it. Yes, i've seen the original series. But I go into adaptations knowing that nothing is going to be 1/1. Things will change. I just look at it as an alternate dimension version. I did like Glass too.

Agreed all the way around. Watching the previews, I was like, "Ok, this looks like it could be fun" and it wasn't so much fun as it was interesting. I liked the cast for the most part. Although I thought the primary husband/wife both needed to be cast different. I don't think they were that great. The doctor, it bothered me the entire movie that I recognized him. I saw his name in the credits and all I could think of was, "You've been weighed, you've been measured, and you've been found wanting". The model bothered me. I was impressed by the guy who played the rapper. I want to see more of him in stuff. I feel potential in him as an actor. The daughter of the main family, what a babe. (Yes she was a rapidly aged kid in the movie but the actress was 18+)

I really don't get the hate behind it. If you want to explain it, i'm all ears....eyes. Some rich people get tired of the outside world so they go back to simpler times. They don't want their offspring to be tempted by an outside world that they perceive as lost/hopeless so they keep it a secret. Concoct a monster to scare people into not trying to leave. Pay off the government to make the entire area a no fly zone. I think people are too caught up in the whole 'twist' thing tbh

Shamalamadingdong movies and their twists suck rocks. He should have stopped after Osment saw dead people.

Ah. So you have no relevant comment. Just jumping on the bandwagon. Cool. I doubt you've even watched 1/3 of his movies and yet still criticize.

Let me guess, "Don't have to get kicked in the face to know it sucks". Heard the 3rd grader argument before.

Not hating on you, don't have a problem with you (I don't even know you), I just take umbrage when people won't backup their viewpoints.

I don't talk about things I have no experience with so you can kindly go fuck off.

M Night has been trying to recapture that 'gotcha" moment from The Sixth Sense in the majority of his project since. He just hasn't been successful in doing so as his premises are either varying degrees of stupid (Signs) or insultingly predictable (The Village).

Can't argue with that. Spot on.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

The movie sucked ass. All the actors were pure shite. Why would these people talk English if it clearly isn't their main language. Best actor was M night himself.

???
They have to communicate with other people and staff at the English-speaking resort... why wouldn't they speak English? I did the same thing when I stayed at a Dominican resort a few years ago (except speaking Spanish, of course), to practice my own Spanish as well as to communicate better and easier with staff (whom obviously learned English as a second language).

They spoke english with eachother when alone as family.

 

[Nester99]

Watched it last night. Was ok.
Twist was weak - if you saw the trailer you saw the movie.

 

[20cent]

Nice surprise, especially the first half, it was really good. It felt like watching the frost season of Lost.

I always avoid trailers, seems to be the best thing to do.

 

[Revolutionary]

And? Why wouldn't a bilingual family sometimes speak the other language? Maybe they were practicing because they only speak Spanish at home. There are plenty of logical reasons.


But really, who cares? It shouldn't bother you unless you're one of those "why are those darn messycans speaking MURICAN" people lmao

They were clearly both not native english speakers. I'm not even american 'lmao'.

 

[jonnyp]

Looks like a shitty Shyamalan movie alright

 

[Rickyiez]

Not sure whether I don't know how to appreciate but Lady in the Water was like the worst movie I've ever watched . Split was not bad though ?

 

[RaduN]

Interesting and suprisingly emotional until the last 15 minutes which do not deliver unfortunately.
Worth a watch.

 

[mf_82]

Not great, not terrible. 5,5/10 for me.

 

[Badlucktroll]

lol i didnt like this movie. Rufus Sewell is the
man though.

 

[mansoor1980]

good movie but the last 20 mins dragged on .

 

[rofif]

I liked it... it was very fun and engaging.
and stupid in a good way.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Movie sounds trash but the woman who turns into a Junji Ito monster in the cave who has a bone disease sounds fire.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

It's watchable.

I honestly enjoy Shyamalan movies, but more as a curiosity. I like that he tries original concepts, and has a nice visual style. However, I feel like most of his films have significant flaws. With the except of Unbreakable, Sixth Sense, and Split, all his film inevitably fall apart around the final act...some sooner. It's like he stopped writing the story the moment he gets to the hook/turn, and just wings the rest of it. It's probably why I'm not as negative about him as many viewers. I think a lot of his films have potential, but just seem to fall short. I can appreciate an original attempt though.
