bad? yes

horrible? no

worst hollywood movie ever? not close

worst m night movie? no

yes, the acting was bad

yes, the movie had no pacing and was rushed (had kingdom of heaven syndrome where you KNEW there was more material they were leaving out). seriously the movie was absolutely disjointed. it was a collection of scenes more than a movie

HOW-EVA, it had a somewhat interesting story and wasn't boring

i'm interested to watch the cartoon series now

unless you have a slow, 14 year old cousin who wants to go for his birthday, do not

It is cool to hate M Knight now. Not saying it isn't a horrible film, but I do think there is some serious PILE ON SYNDROME going on with the reviews.

I watched the first three episodes today. Netflix has the entire series on streaming. Pretty good so far.

Shamalong's crime was in making one of his bad movies out of a beloved television series. His other crap movies were just crap. They weren't insulting to any built-in fans that came with a franchise.

he's only made 1 truly bad movie before this (the happening, which was much, much worse than this movie)

the village was well done, just boring with a stupid ending

lady in the water was just stupid, but not bad

I just started watching the cartoon series a few days ago. Pretty decent for a kids show, not gonna lie.

Lady in Water was a child's fairytale but it was marketed as a scary mystery.

I actually liked it but it was marketed poorly.

The Happening was the sole abomination along with the ending of Signs.

Okay, it started slow as they built the characters but the last third of the movie was pretty cool imo. As a whole I liked it. Then again I like the cartoon too.

there were a lot of things early in the movie that i thought "they should take that this way" and they did

surprising for a kid's series

I liked this movie too. i didn't follow any hype for it and just rented it one day and actually kinda liked it i guess because i had no expectations.

his best one was unbreakable IMO.

Well, I knew going on that Lady In The Water was a story he used to tell his kids and night that was expanded to a film.

I agree about Unbreakable. I really love the understated super hero story.

I though signs had some really great spooky atmosphere going up unto the last 5 minutes.

Sixth Sense was ruined for me but a friend, minutes before I was leaving for the theater.

some friend.........

i liked sixth sense but my complaint is that the same reason it was ruined for you. for me it has zero re-watch-ability. it was a good movie but once you know he's dead the whole time there really isn't any reason to watch it.
