Pros: Excellent acting, storytelling and direction
Cons: May seem too unbelievable to some
Summary: I have enjoyed all of M. Night Shyamalan's films, some more than others. Although it wasn't it first film, "The Sixth Sense" was the movie that made him famous and impressed me. He went on to make "Signs", "Unbreakable" and "The Village" all of which I ...

Pros: Unique story, good acting, music, style
Cons: Not much
Summary: When people hear M. Night Shyamalan's name, they think scary. They think dead people and bizarre twists. So I think when people saw the trailer for Lady in the Water, they were confused. When they saw it in the theatre, they ...

Pros: Good fantasy story for the whole family
Cons: Can be a little confusing at times
Summary: When the Lady in the water came out I was eager to see it. I was already eager to see some more from M. Night Shyamalan after seeing the village. The movie wasn’t what I had expected, but that’s Shyamalan for you. I still enjoyed it very much. It was ...

Pros: Great puzzling movie, original story idea
Cons: Some stiff acting
Summary: After going to see The Happening, I wanted to see more of M. Night Shyamalan's creations and well, the library had Lady in the Water which splashed into my tote bag. Lady in the Water starts out as a bedtime story... a tale of when man ...

Pros: Acting, concept, special effects, and most of all, message.
Cons: Scrunt's abilities are inconsistent
Summary: "Lady in the Water" is, at first blush, about a character from a children's bedtime story (appropriately named Story and portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard) who appears one night in the swimming pool of a Philadelphia apartment building called The Cove. ...

Pros: Original and well acted.
Cons: Hard to see at times because of the low light.
Summary: M. Night Shyamalan returns again with another dark twisted tale that makes us question some of our basic beliefs. Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti) is a simple and sad maintenance man with a painful secret. His confidence in the world has been shaken, ...

Pros: Great acting, great writing, M Night Shamalayan.
Cons: None.
Summary: I am a huge fan of M. Night Shamalayan. Although I found Unbreakable to be very predictable, I enjoyed The Village, Signs, and of course, The Sixth Sense. I am very excited about the upcoming release of The Happening...the trailer ...

Pros: Well acted, especially the every adorable Bryce Dallas Howard
Cons: Lacks energy; weak script; too far-fetched
Summary: I loved The Sixth Sense, M. Night Shyamalan’s 1999 break out hit. The movie was mysterious, engaging and seriously frightening. None of the Indian born writer director’s work since then has come close to capturing the magic of that film. And ...

Pros: Good cast, good acting, interesting idea
Cons: Doesn't reach story potential, gets too lost in being an actors movie than a movie
Summary: Lady in the Water is kind of different from M. Night Shyamalan. For instance, it's not a supernatural horror film, it doesn't have that one great plot twist and it doesn't have a religious theme like a lot of his other films had. What Lady in the Water ...

Pros: Nicely crafted story, appealing characters, great cast.
Cons: Special effects and sound editing.
Summary: M. Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water is a intriguing film to me on a number of levels. First, the film was at the center of a dispute between Shyamalan and his studio, Disney, a dispute that concluded with Shyamalan severing ties with ...

Pros: We enjoyed this movie in and out of the theater.
Cons: Was not impressed with lead characters chemistry.
Summary: I originally watched M. Night Shyamalan's Lady In The Water last summer with my lovely wife at the local theater. After seeing the DVD on sale I decided to purchase it and add it to my DVD collection. I've always been impressed with M. Night ...

Pros: good special fx, Paul Giamatti does a good performance, has some depth and original concept
Cons: dull, drawn-out, somewhat silly plot, M. Night's losing it I fear
Summary: I'll never forget "The Sixth Sense"...that film blew everyone away with it's originality, unique film-making style and twist ending. The film was deep and intelligent, like nothing we had ever seen. M. Night Shymalan was an overnight success and his ...

Pros: Paul Giamatti; the story had moments of promise
Cons: but the pacing was sooooo slow, the promises died
Summary: Many of us have lulled our children to sleep with bedtime stories. Sometimes those stories have been passed down through the generations, sometimes they’re stories we make up on the spot. Almost always, they’re (mostly) fiction, or so we ...

Pros: Paul Giamatti, inoffensive and socially conscious
Cons: rather convoluted plot, ho-hum ending
Summary: Ever since I saw The Sixth Sense, I have regarded M. Night Shyamalan as a very skilled director and have looked forward to whatever strange new movie he might come out with next. Lady in the Water is the fourth film to follow that surprise ...

Pros: Funny; brilliant and entertaining. It will keep you guessing.
Cons: I don't think this is for movie goers who prefer a faster paced movie.
Summary: M. Night Shyamalan is brilliant. This is the best movie of the year (so far). I loved it so much I saw it twice in a week. I must admit, I was not too thrilled going to see this movie at first. My husband wanted to go and I went to keep him company. How ...

Pros: A great Bedtime story for sure. a lot of adventure and comedy. Magnificent acting.
Cons: It was a little bit longer then I had anticipated.
Summary: First off I want to start off saying that I’m a huge M. Night Shyamalan fan. His tale’s have a way of pulling me into his idiosyncratic world. The sixth sense is definitely the movie that made me a fan. I also really love The Village, though I know many ...
