B movie? Yea right.

Rating: 1/10 (11 August 2009)

I have just lost all respect for M. Night Shyamalan. For him to set out and make "the greatest b movie ever" is just insulting. So you're telling me that a rich, successful writer/director/producer used their $50 million production budget to create a movie that in the 50s was a result of young, struggling, inexperienced filmmakers who were stuck with low budgets, mediocre actors, and second rate equipment? ANYONE can do that with $50 million. So rather than take in a cheap actor, you pay people big bucks to suck? A studio payed this douche millions of dollars to make a movie that is as "good" as something that was made for as little as a few hundred dollars? Really, what a load of crap. This isn't a b movie, this is a cop out from a downhill filmmaker. And for all of you who are going to point out movies like Grindhouse, that was NOT a b-movie either. It was made in homage to be movies, but isn't a b movie itself. It was a spoof. However, 'The Happening' pays no homage to b movies. It is disrespecting filmmakers everywhere. This movie is not a b movie, it is a result of an established filmmaker getting lazy and running out of good ideas.
