I don't know what to think of M. Night anymore.  I thought The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable were both great movies.  Then Signs was great...until the twist ending.  Water?  Good thing it didn't rain.  The Village was great until the twist as well.  I would have rather seen that movie played straight.  It would have been better if the monster had been real.  Lady in the Water was just strange.  This is the one that turns out the monster is real?  Ugh.  I never saw The Happening.  Maybe I will put that in my Netflix.

Stay as far away from The Happening as possible.  Horrible acting all around.  AND FREAKING PLANTS THAT KILL?!  "Well, not if you don't stand in groups."  What?  Where is the reasoning behind that one?  And it's kinda hard to be frightened of things that are stuck in the ground outside, while all the main actors are in a house.  And then the plants just out of the blue decide no longer to kill.  Makes sense, right?  The worst thing about that movie is they were trying to play it like it was special that it was M. Night's first rated R movie.  Big whoop.  I've seen hundreds of rated R movies.  Besides that movie barely even makes an R rating.

@ OP

I'm definitely not going to watch this.  Especially after M. Night talked about all the changes he made to it.  Plus, all the clips they showed on Nickelodeon seemed boring (the water training clip seemed to go on for hours).  And M. Night acted like the coolest scene in the movie was Aang jumping of a building and paragliding away.  Yawn.  On top of that the kid's acting hadn't seemed to improve from his promo tape he sent M. Night.  I guess noone thought it nessecary for him to take acting lessons.

My bro saw it last night and said it wasn't good at all.  I don't know why Shyamalan started so strong as a movie director and then started to suck.  I would say he is past his prime id it weren't for the fact that he is only 39.
