...was one of the most ham-fisted, awkward and stupid movies I've ever seen. So much more could've been done with that concept. Sam Jackson was decent, but Bruce Willis is just a dunce writ large. Near the end, I started poking myself in the eyeball with a paperclip to relieve the pain.

I liked it, but probably not well enough to adequately defend it.

The pacing is slower than it should have been, and there were a number of camera angles that served only to irritate. (The director improved on that last bit in Signs, I thought.)

I was under the impression that it was to be the first of three movies. I was also under the impression that it lost money, but according to IMDB.com that's not the case.

I really wanted to see this just like I really wanted to see Daredevil, LOTR:TT, Shanghai Knights, and many other movies lately. I just haven't gotten around to them. I haven't watched many videos lately. I though think I might pick this up next time I'm out ...
What is it like just goofy? Or some "what if" horseshit? Remember, I like most movies.

I also liked it. Perhaps a bit slow but the concept was great, and its simplicity was part of the beauty, it was very much like a comic book.

As I mentioned when it came out and in other threads, I loved it. Yeah, dude's writing style is a bit too dry sometimes so there are things that I could find faults with if I wanted to be picky, so despite my opinion of it, I'm sure there's nothing I could say to change anyone's mind.
Of course, some people that I know that didn't like it thought that the movie was somehow competing with 'the sixth sense' as far as shocker endings go, and I do think that's just about the stupidest reason to not like the movie.

No. What a superhero movie should not be. I'm not saying it is a superhero movie, or anything, but still...

The ending felt like is should've come half-an-hour before. That is not a good ending. Atleast 9th Gate left you hanging where it was artistically viable. Still, it had it's moments.

I didn't think I would touch off such a spirited discussion. I just thought the movie was kinda douchey, especially given that Bruce Willis had the starring role, and could've been a lot cooler.

I heard something about sequels? Will there be any?

"Douchey" has just entered my permanent vocabulary! Ha-ha!!

Whoa, whoa! There was a Shyamalan-bashing thread, and I missed it!??!

YEAH! Unbreakable sucked! Sixth Sense gave me diarrhea! Signs makes Halloween 9 look like Halloween 6!!! Shyamalan blows! I agree with whoever said anything bad about any of the above movies.

Whew, it feels good to catch up on current events!

We put it in here because you only follow the RATM/Audioslave and Tiger Woods threads in here. We managed to fire off like TEN messages before you slagged that poor guy for all he was worth.

I have a theory that Ridley Scott's brother directed all of M. Night's movies. Have I expunged on that theory to you yet? It's sort of like your own Ridley Scott theory, except that there's less proof, it makes a whole lot less sense, and there's no movie in comparative quality to Blade Runner or Alien that everyone with a worthwhile opinion says, "Yeah, I don't like this guy, but this flick kicked ass." Other than that, though, SPOT ON.
