The Happening (warning: may contain spoilers)

The sixth sense was ok. I really didn’t like it other than the ending’s twist was good – good enough to make what otherwise was a mediocre at best movie tolerable (only once though). Hated that kid in it.
Never saw unbreakable. Once the ending of that was revealed to me I never had any interest in seeing it. Figured the “twist” would be the only good thing about it like his previous movie.
Signs. Other than the already mentioned water . . . Hate everyone in that movie and couldn’t get past that – if there would have been more enjoyable actors it probably still wouldn’t have made the “good” level for me.
I thought the village looked cool, visually. I thought the movie sucked though. Hate Joaquin & Adriane Brody(other than in Bullet).
Lady in the water had no redeeming value to it at all other than it finally ended at some point. Thought M Knight Shablablula was extremely arrogant to cast himself in the movie – especially in the role that he did.

Agreed on this.
COMPLETELY agree on this. What an awful fuckin movie that was.
Agreed. I dont own this movie, but it was clever for its ending regardless.
Same here. Someone told me the plot and i just didnt care to see it.
I actually liked this movie, but i still dont own it...not quite that good.
I liked this movie the most of all his flicks. Adriam Brody does suck.
*thumbs up*
I feel like M. Night is a one-trick pony and he has over stayed his welcome. None of his movies are keepers in my book, and are above average on a real good day.
Go see the Hulk.

It also cost around 75 million to make and they spent another 70 million on advertising.
You do the math.
For the record I liked The Sixth Sense, thought that Unbreakable was decent and didn't care for anything after that.
But I'll continue to watch his crappy movies as long as I get paid to do it.

People saw it yeah but for how much it cost and how much they spent on promotion (almost as much as the movie cost to make) and it might have brought back a little more then half of the cost of filming/promo total means it bombed anyway you want to cut it. People lost money. They invested in it thinking it was going to be huge and sell well over the $140+ mill it took to make/promote. They aren't in it to break even or spend that much to make a few mill profit, trust me.
What nutt said and . . .
