Last chance


"Split" is his last chance to prove that he can make a comeback. Big studio behind it. Along the line he just kept *beep* out original ideas to quickly that couldn't form or enough time to think it would work. Everyone needs a comeback

He's already had his comeback half a year ago: THE VISIT received majorly favorable reviews and it was an incredible box-office success.

So whatever you may have subjectively thought of the movie, doesn't change the fact that THE VISIT was an objectively good movie that satisfied the studio.

If you're not a paid critic whose reviews get put on the RottenTomatoes main page, then your opinion is irrelevant; my statements are based on the unbiased, proper-standard criticism by the professionals.

First off I'm gonna ask you to calm down. Second I agree with you The visit was a success. I was saying he's on his way. I've been wanting m. Night back consistently. Signs over time people don't like anymore and the village as always been met with mixed opinions.The first four movies he's made were his best minus wide awake. I want that m. Night back making and taking his time on his original ideas. I'm saying I believe in him. And duh I'm not critic. I just want him back to his "sixth sense" roots again. Your backlash is irralavant and inappropriate. If you disagree debate, don't argue.

I don't know how you both can call The Visit a success. Sure it's M Nights best rated movie in almost 15 years, but even that rating is a 55/100 I wouldn't call it a success. Maybe if you're going off of box office results, but those count for *beep* Look at how much those horrible Transformers movies made, but calling them a success just brings the taste of bile to ones mouth.

Isn't his most popular movie rated 64/100? He's never been a filmmaker who appealed to the critics, nor does he really make the kind of movies that critics would appraise.

He's pretty much as hit and miss as most other genre-specific directors; for instance Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Stuart Gordon, Eli Roth, Hideo Nakata or any of the Blumhouse group; they all strike out as often as they knock it out of the park. The only thing that differentiates Shyamalan from his cult genre peers was the Star Wars level box-office of The Sixth Sense, which seemed to make people expect him to become something he wasn't.

I agree. I just really hated The Visit. I had really high hopes for it and then it finally came out and as I watched it I went from excited to confused to pissed off. Without a doubt I would call it his worst film.

His comeback was The Visit. But i have enjoyed all his films although Signs and After Earth were a bit dull.

Well, I think he's done it.

I thought the visit was all right it was a horror comedy
