There really isn't that much to "get." Shyamalan came up with one interesting and original idea (do the dead know they are gone?) that was crafted into a reasonably competent movie (The Sixth Sense). He's done nothing remotely as engaging and interesting since then.

A flash in the pan. What else is there to "get?"

Have to agree.
He has been very disappointing since Sixth Sense.
Tho I did like The Village more than most people did. I like the Twilight Zone kind of movies, which is what those 2 movies seemed like to me.

I thought that “Signs” was pretty good. I also liked “The Village” very much.

I agree “Lady in the Water” just didn’t work.

I grew up in the area where most of the movies are set. So it’s a nice treat to watch the backdrops and figure out where that scene was shot & so forth. It’s a dimension that most movie-goers don’t have.

Signs was a good movie, also.
