Devil

The embattled auteur and "Last Airbender" director is getting jeers rather than cheers for "Devil," the latest sci-fi effort to bear his name. A YouTube video posted by Perez Hilton this week showed audience members laughing out loud at the trailer during a screening of "Inception." The offending moment came when audiences caught a glimpse of the words "From the Mind of M. Night Shyamalan."

M. Night Shyamalamadingdong is a JOKE! 😆

you can say THAT again.I've given up on him as a director.I have given him too many chances to make a good movie and he has failed everytime.I will never see another one of his films again.How that idiot ever got to be a filmmaker is beyond me.

Devil does look lame.

Having said that, M. Night still has several great to good movies under his belt. Unfortunately, it does seem like he's peaked.

Pretty sure he's producing this movie, he didn't direct it at least.

Anyway, I heard about this a while ago, people laughing when they saw his name. I think M. Night's own ego is responsible for his current downfall. If you watch interviews with him, it's like he can't comprehend why someone wouldn't like one of his movies; the man is impervious to any criticism.

I've never been a huge Shamalamadingdong fan. I think The Sixth Sense is very overrated, Unbreakable is probably my favorite film of his, I actually liked Signs despite the ending... Past that, I can't say I've really liked any of his films. The Village has a nice atmosphere and some well-crafted, tense, frightening scenes (like his previous films), but ultimately is disappointing.

Then came Lady in the Water, I didn't like that at all, but at least it was creative. And then... The Happening. What a terrible, terrible film. I haven't seen The Last Airbender, but I've heard it's worse than even that and is an injustice to the beloved show (which I haven't seen either). Is it possible M. Night's actually become delusional and thinks he can do no wrong?

Sorry for the rambly post.

M. Night hit his apex loooong ago.

The Sixth Sense is still, to me, at least, a classic.

Unbreakable was a great watch, since I identify with the film a a comic book aficionado.

Signs, I have to admit, was a great film, as well.

The rest are just awful, if you ask me.

Apart from the name of the film, and that 'mind of' part, I like the look of the film. It's only produced by him.

I see one of the directors of the film directed the [REC] remake, Quarantine. I mean, even the poster for Devil has the same design layout as [REC]...

One of the writers was involved in Hard Candy, and 30 Days of Night, so could be decent.

just because Shamalamadingdong's involved with it, you cant automatically assume its gonna suck
but you never know mhmm

He was in a couple of episodes of the Sorpanos...Pretty sure that's the only thing good the man has ever done in his life.

Well...That and Dead Presidents.

Did he play a ghetto character?

Movie wasn't bad, true.

I, for one, respect that attitude. Do you expect/want him to have a nervous breakdown just because people said his last movie sucks?

He played a businessman/gangsta rapper called Massive Genius who tried to get reparations from Hesh because Hesh managed some young black musician and didn't give him any royalties. Hesh was a business associate of Tony.

Only seen a handful of episodes, did enjoy and I do plan on watching the show start to finish someday.

But did they send Paulie to break his ****ing face?

Nah...They settled in other ways...Boring ways.

It's one thing to make the movies you want to make despite criticsim; it's another to be delusional about the films you're making and to let your ego get so big that you don't comprehend anyone else's opinion.

I dont understand why people have to get worked up on the dude. He likes making films and in this case case he produced. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Simples.

I liked all three of those films, a lot.

Gave them all 8s. (Unbreakable was almost a nine, for me.)

I liked The Village, but the ending was a bit stupid as it said that the year was in the 1800s at the beginning...very NOT like M. Knight as he should have just left that portion out and let the watcher ASSUME that. That's why the ending was a bit frustrating, imo.

So, anyway, I liked Lady in the Water, as well. It was a 7.

The Happening sucked. I haven't seen the Last Airbender. Stuart Little was alright. I didn't see his first two films.

All in all, he has more successful, good, films than bad. He has, what, 3 bad films and the rest are good? I haven't given up on him yet.

I have seend The Last Airbender, yet. I think it's a renter, though.

I'm in the minority of enjoying The Village, and Signs more than Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.

agree with everything you said.You nailed it completly.Could not have said it better myself.Yeah The Sixth Sense is the one movie of his I WOULD say is a good movie of his.Forgot to mention that.

The rest are just plain god awful.The only difference I have with you is that I would add on Signs to it as well and this coming from a guy who is a huge Mel Gibson fan. His movies anyway. 😄 Even Mel couldnt stop me from being bored to death and hating that film. 😘
