06.01.13 | Oh and Unbreakable was pretty good i forgot |
Calc
06.01.13 | this is a shamalamadingdong movie?!?!?!?!? |
YoYoMancuso
06.01.13 | Unbreakable rules yeah
not even gonna bother with this one, just because of the Smith's stupid hairdos |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | that was the best part of the movie
Will Smith rules but he doesn't fit in this, his character is stoic as fuck |

Gwyn.
06.01.13 | "what did you expect? guy hasn't made a good movie in a decade and it stars fucking jaden smith"
too optimistic i guess |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | i still remember seeing that back in 2010. half the people had left the theater like an hour before the film was finished lol |
TMobotron
06.01.13 | Unbreakable is so good.
I really don't get M Night. There are aspects of 6th sense, unbreakable and signs that are just so great and likable I don't get how he's completely lost his ability to capture that. I feel like he could still make another great film but he's doing something completely wrong. |
toxin.
06.01.13 | to be fair jayden smith lol.
normally i'd be sympathetic towards all the hate towards m night but the last airbender was a sacrilege |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | He needs to stop writing mostly. He's a pretty decent director most of the time, though sometimes he hits it out of the park, but his writing is just laughable |
YoYoMancuso
06.01.13 | the last airbender is the film equivalent of finding a testicle in your chocolate milkshake |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | i read somewhere that apparently the fact that people didn't like the twist from the village kinda made him lose it a little bit? idk apparently its said in some autobiography of him |
Mike08
06.01.13 | I will never forget that during Inception the trailer for Devil came on. There was a quiet curiosity in the theater until M's flashed on the screen; "From the mastermind of M Night." Boos and laughter and eye rolling ensued for about a minute. Since this was a universal phenomenon, the production company pulled his name off of the trailers. Notice how no name popped up during After Earth? |
Rowan5215
06.01.13 | Agreed with all that, and Lady in the Water was pretty awful too. But where's the love for Signs? That was fantastic, just as good as the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. |
YoYoMancuso
06.01.13 | Signs is okay, The Village is really boring, everything after that is just rubbish |
TMobotron
06.01.13 | His actual script-writing might be bad but the concepts he came up with for unbreakable and 6th sense were great. |
TMobotron
06.01.13 | Signs is great but I like unbreakable and 6th sense more |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | "I will never forget that during Inception the trailer for Devil came on. There was a quiet curiosity in the theater until M's flashed on the screen; "From the mastermind of M Night." Boos and laughter and eye rolling ensued for about a minute."
that was the case for me as well when i went to see Despicable Me and I think Inception. Apparently this happened everywhere cause every says people booed at him in the theater |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | "His actual script-writing might be bad but the concepts he came up with for unbreakable and 6th sense were great."
yeah his actual concepts are great, Devil's premise was really interesting. He just needs to find someone who can actually write and then he just takes care of the directing. Plus I think he goes better with smaller films than this high budget stuff |
TMobotron
06.01.13 | Yeah I think 6th sense is overrated tbh, unbreakable is actually my favorite of his. But I still really like his good 3. I never saw Devil, kind of always wanted to.
And yeah I'm surprised he made After Earth after The Last Airbender was such a failure, but i guess he probably doesn't know what he should be doing at this point. |
Necrotica
06.01.13 | Another M. Night project, another shitty movie. I'm not surprised by this point. |
Crymsonblaze
06.01.13 | First three movies rule to varying degrees, and I don't even hate the Village as much as many do. And The Happening is an immensely entertaining bad movie. However, Airbender was godawful and I can't imagine this being much better despite Will Smith being awesome |
PeterKlaven
06.01.13 | He made like 6 shit movies in a row why would you even |
Rowan5215
06.01.13 | Oh yeah forget he did the Happening, that was good considering he was kinda aiming to make it bad. |
toxin.
06.01.13 | "i know tox, and you were even cast in it"
lol fuck off |
toxin.
06.01.13 | devil wasn't awful btw but he either didn't direct or didn't write
it was like a solid 2.5/5 on sputnik's scale. it didn't scare me once so there's that but i didn't find myself laughing at its absurdity/ awfulness |
GuanoBumbershoot
06.01.13 | How can this guy take so many cool ideas or could be cool ideas and just fuck them straight into the ground? |
bach
06.01.13 | I'd call him a good filmmaker with a handful of terrible ideas. |
ViralOblivion
06.01.13 | Unbreakable wads great sixth sense is okay zero replay value, signs was meh, everything else is complete shit
What the fuck did you expect? |
ViralOblivion
06.01.13 | The village, the happening and paranormal activity all have the honor of most annoying movie ever
Unless you count fred |
GuanoBumbershoot
06.01.13 | "I'd call him a good filmmaker with a handful of terrible ideas."
Did some quick research. You're absolutely right. |
Rowan5215
06.01.13 | Hopefully he's just a good filmmaker in a slump who'll one day go back to making great movies like TSS, Signs and Unbreakable again. SINCERELY doubt it though. |
ViralOblivion
06.01.13 | Why do people like signs? The ending was so bad |
GuanoBumbershoot
06.01.13 | Forgot how badly he butchered The Last Airbender. There's no hope. |
PeterKlaven
06.01.13 | OK it's not really a hit and miss thing when you start with 2 good movies and then never make a good one again, it would be one thing if those good movies were sprinkled throughout his career, but he hasn't made a good movie in 15 years and I don't know why people keep giving him chances
|
Mike08
06.01.13 | "I don't know why people keep giving him chances"
"he butchered The Last Airbender. There's no hope."
"I'd call him a filmmaker with a handful of terrible ideas."
- So much truth in one thread |
PeterKlaven
06.01.13 | He made two small low budget character based stories that were gr8 and his slow, almost surreal tone fit really well
And then every movie got bigger and bigger and it just doesn't fucking work |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | I don't get why everyone's so angry at Last Airbender. it was a horrible movie, but people treat it like it murdered their families or some shit. I can think of 5 movies off the top of my head that were imo way worse in every aspect. and yeah i know it was based on the series and it ruined the source material but still |

I could give a fiddler's fuck about The Last Airbender, it was just a giant heaping shit pile of a movie. Of course there's worse movies. Every single c-movie that's basically a knock off of a popular movie in theatres that only changes like one word in the name of the movie it's ripping off. |
GuanoBumbershoot
06.01.13 | just think how bad The Crowning Airbender would be. |
JokineAugustus
06.01.13 | Knew this would suck. |
Cygnatti
06.01.13 | I knew it was trouble when it first said:
"We are the first humans to ever set foot on this planet for hundreds/thousands of years."
And then said:
"Everything has evolved to kill humans."
Like seriously, do they not get how evolution works or what? |
Rowan5215
06.01.13 | At the maker of the list, is this better or worse than Lady in the Water? |

Ya man, I don't see how there could be anyone who didn't pick up on that. Well, at least anyone over 15. |
Cygnatti
06.01.13 | Me neither. Of all things to complain about, the entire ducking premise/problem of the movie should be fucking up there. |

i had massive expectations for the movie because a live-action version (done properly) would have been awesome and now we'll likely never see a good movie adaptation of the series. then in addition to it just sucking shit, there's also the stupid little changes like firebenders neading a source, character name pronunciations were whack, casting choices were wtf, etc. Basically every little thing about that movie pisses people off. it was one of the worst movies ever, esp. when put in contrast to its source material. |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | "At the maker of the list, is this better or worse than Lady in the Water?"
never saw that so idk |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | "i had massive expectations for the movie because a live-action version (done properly) would have been awesome "
i don't agree, one of the charms of the series was its visual absurdity and obviously it wasn't gonna be done with real life humans, so a part of the spirit was going to be lost anyway |
toxin.
06.01.13 | yeah that's true, i'm not sure a movie would have ever lived up to the series for this reason. but for whatever reason i still had hopes that the live-action version would be awesome but shymalan failed in literally every single aspect |
Gwyn.
06.01.13 | yeah it just wasn't good, i wasn't expecting to be blown away or anything but by the end i wanted my fucking money back |
JizzInMyPants
06.01.13 | Will Smith wrote the story for the film so it isn't totally Night's fault. Will Smith is really, REALLY trying to push Jayden to be a worthy successor of the "Smith" name.Either he is pushing Jayden or Jayden is trying to one up his father and Will is just supporting but whatever. I think Jayden is getting an unnecessary bad rap. |
intotheshit
06.01.13 | The Sixth Sense is a laugher. If you didn't think Willis was dead 10 minutes into the film, you need to give up on life altogether. |

06.02.13 | i read that will smith turned down django unchained for this???
is that true? if so thats so fucking dumb omg |
Cygnatti
06.02.13 | lol not surprising if so. |
Gwyn.
06.02.13 | if its true then hes definitely more concerned with giving his son fame then his own career which is dumb cause he's will smith's kid he's gonna get work no matter what |
TooLateToGoBack
06.02.13 | scientology propaganda |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | He didn't take Django because he felt like he wasn't the lead in that movie that's what he said anywaybut then shares a movie with his son sooooo I don't get that
I couldn't see him as django anyway id be thinking of wild wild west the entire time |
Calc
06.02.13 | being concerned with your son's success is dumb agreed |
XingKing
06.02.13 | I feel sorry for anyone delusional enough to think this movie wasn't going to suck. Shamalamadingdong and Jaden Smith? It was destined to fail before the filming even began. |
XingKing
06.02.13 | I just looked up why Will turned it down. Here is his actual statement-
'Django wasn’t the lead, so it was like, I need to be the lead. The other character was the lead!'
Smith says that before he left the project, he even pleaded with Tarantino to let Django have a more central role in the story. “I was like, ‘No, Quentin, please, I need to kill the bad guy!’”
Smith was a big fan of the final product. “I thought it was brilliant,” he says. “Just not for me.”
I've always hated Will Smith and this just makes him seem like such an asshole |
Ire
06.02.13 | will smith sucks yea |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | so he needs to kill the bad guy?
what a fucking ego |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | well thats where his career is at now i remember the sixth sense special features and i quote and i
fucking kid you not he said
"this movie will win me an oscar" |
XingKing
06.02.13 | Back then, everyone was calling him the next Spielberg |

06.02.13 | andcas you have absolutely no idea what kind of dad he is lol. and that comment was directed at someone. |
Dunpeal
06.02.13 | so we went from this movie sucks to will smith is a horrible parent? lol
ancas, you are a whiny judgemental cunt. your post count makes total sense |
Cygnatti
06.02.13 | well, it is an open discussion. unlike many internet discussions, we're still talking about something related to the topic at hand. about will smith and jayden.
and yeah, what if he's both? idrc but I wouldn't doubt it. |

06.02.13 | mitt romney hates will smith's kids |

damn dont remember posting this |
Calc
06.02.13 | your basing this opinion of yours on a small fraction of a public part of a family's life. you dunno what your talking about dude you might as well describe to me how rocket fuel is made, you literally have the same amount of information as you do about Will Smith's parenting. |
Ire
06.02.13 | i dont like will smith im gonna pee on him in his sleep |
Calc
06.02.13 | saying I'm mad and dodging the argument....anyway, I don't really care, I'm quite sure the movie sucks and I'm quite sure I don't like jayden smith as an actor. I'm just saying making wild assumptions based on almost no information is what you are guilty of doing just now. |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | Will smith is just hardly relevant anymore no one has cared for his last like 4 movies. After earth, men in black 3, seven pounds, hancock
He should've done django althought I'm glad he didn't |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | ID4 is probably my favorite from him or the original MIB |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | I heard rumors he was looked at for jurassic park 4 god I hope not |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | I watch ID4 as tradition on the 4th but that's only time I see it it looks great on blu ray and jeff goldblum
Agree MIB is amazing two is just so fucking bad
And I don't mind jurassic park 4 being made as long as it has a good writer and director and not will smith |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | I never said it'd be good I said I didn't mind it can't tarnish the name worse than III unless they did do the human dino hybrids which would be the worst thing ever and idk how they could go back I agree with you there
But its gonna happen like it or not |
cagedescending
06.02.13 | dino commandos would have been so hilariously awesomely bad |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | It just sounds like a bad syfy tv movie
And I am legend is okay probably a 6.5 or maybee even a 7 but like andcas said he anchored that movie but the source material was destroyed completely like its SO different its like the walking dead but 100x worse |
UnnamedOcean
06.02.13 | I don't see why people think Shyamalan was once so great. He has made like....2 decent movies in his career. |
UnnamedOcean
06.02.13 | "it really butchered the source material and the ending was crap. the alternate was way better and they should've gone with it."
I thought the alternate ending of I Am Legend was retarded. |
ViralOblivion
06.02.13 | Well the alternate ending made more sense it was closer to the source material like they didn't even talk that was one of the creepiest parts of the book is when he would be in his tub and they would just try to break him |
MO
06.02.13 | Iremember watching the alternate ending for I am legend and thinking why the fuck did they choose the original |
cagedescending
06.02.13 | 123, theatrical ending fucking blows |
MO
06.02.13 | "the alternate ending gave depth into the "zombies" by proving they weren't heartless and brainless killers but still compassionate beings capable of human emotion who were only hostile because they saw will smith's character as the monster aka"
Exactly, fit the original idea sooo much better |

06.03.13 | Apparently after earth is Scientology propaganda lmao |
