Really loved Split. Wish I could spoil it but I won't

I haven't seen Split yet but it seems like Shymalan is getting his career back on track.

Finally went to go see Arrival and I thought that the movie was great, way better then I thought that it would be.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say alot of people won't get it.

but if you do get it, you'll be like "i just got shaylaman'd!"

Trolls is actually a pretty decent movie with a ton of shoutouts to kids that were born in the 80s starting with the show revolving around a figure (trolls) all of us are likely familiar with.

I read a review that had a fairly decent spoiler in it and according to the review, knowing what they did (and gave away) before watching the movie for the first time really helped and made it more enjoyable because they watched the movie from a slightly different angle. The comments seemed to agree. Either way, I'll never know because I read the review even though it said right up front that they were going to spoil a bit.

i bet i read the same review that you did and don't really agree with that.

So are you saying you know how it ends? If so...

the big reveal that it's in the Unbreakable universe totally made the movie worth it for me, because i'll admit, i was slightly disappointed with the stand-alone portion of it. Don't get me wrong McAvoy was phenomenal, but up until the reveal, i was like, well this was an ok movie, not one of M. Night's best though.

Had i already known it was in the Unbreakable universe really wouldn't have made the experience much more enjoyable because then it just becomes an origin story.

Let's be honest. It's kind of a low bar. The first two (Sixth Sense and Unbreakable) were very good (and Sixth Sense is a classic), Signs was decent, The Village was less decent, then it started to dive off a cliff. Lady in the Water is one of the worst [expletive] movies I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. The Crappening wasn't much better (if at all), and I haven't even seen The Last Airbender and That Other Thing that he made. The Visit wasn't bad, though. I dug it.

So I do think Split is one of his best- I think it's clearly better than The Village and all that came after it with the possible exception of The Visit. But I also don't think that's saying a ton.

All of which sounds more harsh towards Shyamalan than I intend. Just... this ain't Scorsese or the Coens or Tarantino or PT Anderson or even James Cameron we're talking about.

Haha i'm not gonna try to defend everything that was between Unbreakable and The Visit. A bunch of so-so with like you said one of the worst movies ive ever seen.

The visit was great and i stand by that statement.

I guess what i was getting at was that after The Visit, it looked like he was on the upswing again and capturing that magic he had with Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, so the expectations were huge.

But i get what youre saying regarding the bar being low--it's a fair statement.

The Visit scared the [expletive] out of me
