I remember when it was 1999 and M. Night Shyamalan was the most exciting thing to happen in cinema, with the release of The Sixth Sense. Many anticipate his body of work to resemble something quite as epic as... Steven Spielberg's perhaps? Today, however, such comparisons will be met with either a hysterical laugh, or plain disgust.

The thing is, the guy is not at all a bad director. Maybe not the best, but I have seen a lot worse *cough* Ed Wood *cough*. The biggest problem we all have with the guy is his storytelling and his inflated ego. He may have let the overwhelming praise of The Sixth Sense [1999] and his unique, almost philosophical superhero movie Unbreakable [2000] let it get to his head.
