Not really M. Night's crowning glory,

Rating: 6/10 (15 September 2008)

Seeing the endless posts on this movie, and reading quite a few of them, I see there are mixed feelings about this movie, and I know I'm not the first or 101st person to comment. So what's another penny in the fountain? I did see M. Night's trademarks in this film and some good build ups of tension and or suspense to a few pivotal scenes. However, the over build of tension to the end of the movie was a sore let down once the audience found out the big question that fueled the movie. Honestly, I did not find the subject matter all that suspenseful. One could almost see it coming, whether or not they are moderate to avid comic book fans. I think M. Night was just pitching his ideas in the wake of the 6th sense success, and seeing which one stuck. He's still a good suspense director, but this is one of his let downs.
