Even After Earth was decently directed, but the problem there wasn't him but the lead actor, pure nepotism and Smith just taking on too much than he could handle. M. Night Shyamalan was just a hired gun and he did his job as well as can be expected, but not even Kubrick could have saved that movie. He just needs someone to keep him in check. The 6th sense was a great movie, but it 'suffered' a lot of studio interference and arguably it was all the better for it. |
He has too much arrogance and mis-placed self confidence to ever take on a co-writer who will actually be critical and improve on his work. I do think he can direct, and TLA could have been a great movie if he writing reigns had been kept in the hands of the original series writers.
