Guys, M. Night's last two movies were BAD. And I'm a passionate defender of both Unbreakable and Signs, both of which I think are terrific. The guy CLEARLY has a degree of talent, especially in the directing portion.

But the last two movies were bad, bad, bad. The Village was well directed but AWFULLY written, and Lady in the Water had nothing redeemable that I could note about it. Maybe a good original score. Decent special effects. *shrug*

Critics did not hate M. Night until his last two movies. But they were hated for a reason. Because they're bad.

I can hear all criticisms of QT and totally, completely understand them. But the talk of M. Night going down as a classic director is boggling my mind right now.
