Dawn of the Geeks

M. Night Shyamalan has completely lost whatever touch he had when he came out with The Sixth Sense. Every movie after just gets more and more overly dramatic and shallow. It’s 108 minutes but it seems like an eternity. If you havn’t figured out what the twist is before you see the movie, then you’re behind on your knowledge of movie cliche’s and standard stories. The only thing I didn’t see coming was the final minor twist which just made me hate the movie more. M Night also needs to stop showing up in his movies. Hitchcock always has a little cameo in his movies but he had the sense to not say anything. Hitcock also made better movies. Although who knows, Hitchcock made a lot of films and not all of them are considered classics. M Night might eventually get back into the game but at the current rate he’s going the next movie is going to be three hours long, consist of no plot and have at least a 15 minute pause between each line of dialog.

The only thing I’ll give this movie is that the plot isn’t absurd like his previous two movies. It’s just very poorly executed.
