So here's where the over-kill hatred for M. Night pisses me off.
I have never seen Lady in the Water. Not because I didn't want to see it, I just never made it a priority even though it intrigued me. For some reason, my curiosity got the better of me today. I figured I've heard from so many people that it wasn't a good movie so I may as well read through a synopsis and find out what it's all about.
Just from reading the synopsis, I think I would have liked it. It sounds pretty off the wall, but I like off the wall. Now it's ruined for me now because everyone hated on it so much that I didn't give it a chance and watch it.
I understand people don't like a lot of his movies. I just don't understand why people go out of their way so much to hate on them.
Also, for all the talk that all of his movies have a twist, the only ones that really do are The 6th Sense and The Village. Unbreakable kinda does, but the ending is really more about coming to the realization that Samuel L is so bent on finding his purpose that he kills mass amounts of people just to figure it out. Signs, Lady in the Water, and The Happening are all suspense. The Last Airbender I haven't seen or read about, but it doesn't seem like there can be much of a twist involved.
