What happened to Shyamalan?

Rating: 1/10 (18 June 2008)

I am a huge Shyamalan fan: I am not convinced that he had anything to do with this movie. How could the maker of such classics like "Sixth Sense" allow microphones to be seen in at least four different scenes? How could the man capable of complex plot lines like "The Village" allow a script this heinously written to be produced, furthermore using actors that were confused and seemingly in the dark about this movies purpose, as was the audience. 50% of whom left the theater, the rest sat laughing and conversing as if in a coffee shop. One hour after the movies completion, the three of us are sitting here still trying to figure out what big point we missed? Has Shyamalan drank the global warming punch and this is his homage to Al Gore? Whatever it is, it does not work.
