I know when he first arrived all 20 years ago , 6th Sense got him famous.
Somewhere along the way, his name started becoming a short hand for terrible movie (though i never thought this). The first time i realized this was when i saw the trailer for Devil in the theater, and i think at the end it said a " brough tto you by M Night Shyalaman" or something like that and everyone in the theatre started laughing.
Here are the movies of his that i have watched:
6th Sense - the twist was spoiled for me in a post title on Yahoo! message board , i curse that poster
Unbreakable - Just watched it again tonight, and it still as good as it was when i saw it in 2000
The Village - I really liked this
Signs - this one wasnt his best effort, but still ok.
The Happening - no worse than the Bird Box imo
Devil - i liked it fine, interesting concept
The Visit - it was ok, it kept me entertained
After Earth - Didn't know he did this one, didn't finish it, but seemed ok enough in the beginning.
Lady in the Water - ok this one didnt click with me , and i never go through the opening 20 minutes of it.
I think the dude has some interesting ideas, that he does a good job of translating into a movie. Unbreakable and The Village are probably my favorites. Its too bad for the last i dunno how many years hes become a punchline.
Gonna watch Split, and Glass this weekend. Im sure i will like.
