Did M. Night Shyamalan have the worst 3 movie run in history for a big name?

Probably.

But he also had one of the best 3 movie runs.

Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs

Unbreakable just gets better. It's his most rewatchable movie. No surprise it got crapped on by critics. The performances are great especially Jackson.

I liked After Earth

Last Airbender wasn’t horrible for me, probably Bc I had no expectations. I knew nothing about the series.

Signs gets worse though, and while still great, The Sixth Sense isn’t nearly as good once you know the twist.

But yeah, as far as some big name director who isn’t a hack like Emmerich or Bay, then yeah, that’s the worst for sure. The Happening was actually so bad it’s good, The Last Airbender was the single most insulting adaptation ever made, and After Earth was just stupid and bland. Shyamalan does have some talents, but I just wish he would stop writing in general and just be given scripts which match up to his strengths as a director, which sure as frick aren’t action movies.

I really liked Signs. It’s an always watch on my list. It was a great mix of suspense, story and genuinely funny and touching moments. The acting was very good as well.

I love the “swing away” storyline and all of it coming together in the end. I like syfy though and could see pleople not liking it if aliens aren’t your thing. This and Sixth Sense were his peak IMO.

Revenge of the Sith is passable (no question it’s better than TLJ), and the dialog is so bad in The Last Airbender that it makes George Lucas look like Aaron Sorkin. Just imagine if every line in a movie is as bad as the “I don’t like sand, it’s rough, and course and irritating, and it gets everywhere.” Nothing but that garbage, including lines I would say are actually worse. As gravy, it has an even worse on screen romance than Anakin and Padme. Hard to believe, I know, but it’s true.

That was a project that should never have been green lit. There was just too much to take on for a movie. If they wanted to go live action, it should have been a mini-series at best if not just a live action series.

Unbreakable is a perfect example of a fantastic take on an original "superhero movie". I'm glad he went back to it with Split and I hope he can continue to do it justice.

I just never could make it through Sixth Sense after the first watch without turning it off or falling asleep. Not saying it is bad, just a slow paced movie that relied on the plot twist to be outstanding.

After Earth isn't as bad as jaden Smith is. Had his character been another actor that wasn't so damn bad the movie would have had a chance. yes, it was generic but that is what sells these days.

Revenge of the Sith was a very good movie, breh.

Unbreakable and split are both incredible

it's his best work. the ending legitimately got me

They’re similarly insulting and both awful, but Airbender is all in all the better series. I feel like I could miss 10 episodes of DB and nothing has happened.
