Set Photos from M. Night Shyamalan’s AFTER EARTH Starring Will Smith

Please M. Night, redeem yourself. Just a little bit.

This film will have to be the equivalent to the 2nd coming...

Which means, this man has already f*cked up his own career so bad, I don't even think he deserves redemption.

You must be joking. What movies are you referring to? The man makes a few bad movies and everyone hates him. Every director !!s up. I don't know why people hate M.Night so much. Dude gave us Sixth Sense, UNBREAKABLE, Signs. he writes, produces and directs his own ORIGINAL stories. He is one of the best directors working today. !! that AIr Bender bull!!. Jon Faverau !!ed up Iron Man 2 and Cowboys and aliens but people dont give him a hard time eh?

Are you serious? Dudes last 4-5 movies have been complete trash.

Okay... here we go.

One of the best directors working today? Ehhhhh, no. Not even by a long shot. When I think of elite directors of today, Shamalan would not even crack my top 50. His films have this detached non-sentimental quality that made it feel honest and genuine... for the first three films he made. Then, after that, his style began to reveal holes in his directorial skills, like how to direct actors, how to stage a scene, how to build tension. It seems like he had forgotten how to do ALL of those things in between "Signs" and "The Village"....

Speaking of, I feel fairly confident in saying that "The Village" is one of the absolute worst films I've ever seen. Everything... EVERYTHING is wrong about the movie. The cinematography, the score, the acting, the script, the direction, the editing, EVERYTHING sucks about that movie. And, that ending... For f*ck sake, man. That ending...

but, to give you a full view about his films, here is quick reflections on his films:

The Sixth Sense is good, but gets entirely too much inflated praise when really, it's just good and not great.

Unbreakable is a great one, i will give you that.

Signs was the most interestingly boring film I've ever seen.

The Village is a movie that I hate with EVERY fiber of my being... There aren't many movies that I hate more than that (although The Last Airbender is close).

Lady In The Water is a movie I feel gets unfairly hated.

The Happening.... Need I say more?

The Last Airbender? F*CK.

Look, I want to like the guy. But, for me, this man has more strikes against him than he has good things.

And, as for Jon Faverau, Faverau was never treated with the level of prestige and respect that M. Night was when he was in his heyday. So, not an apt comparison.

Plus, I'd argue that both "Iron Man 2" and "Cowboys & Aliens" are better than "Signs" or "The Village" or "Lady in the Water" or "The Happening" or "The Last Airbender".

Damn.

See, I completely disagree with most of that.

I think everything besides the twist was done well. I loved the cinematography and the cast/acting etc.

Didn't do me no harm that I had sort of guessed the twist a few months before I actually saw it, I think the build up and the hype that M. Night had gathered beforehand is what pissed people off, the expected something much more fulfilling in the end.

Whoah, hey now - don't lump Signs in there with the rest. Great film. I never want to go near a cornfield again. Very eery, very simple, small town alien invasion flick.
