So we had a thread on who your favorite director is.
Let's reverse that. Who do you think is the worst directors of all time?
In my opinion:
Edward Wood Jr.
Uwe Boll
Tommy Wiseau (The Room cracks me up everytime)
Michael Bay
Rob Zombie
Harold Warren (Manos: The Hands of Fate was terrible)
Roger Christian
It's for Signs, The Last air bender, and The Happening and the Village. All of which, in my opinion, were bad movies in general. The sixth Sense and Unbreakable were decent movies. But then he just wrote the story for Devil which stretched into the realm of being ridiculous.
The problem I had with signs is that the premise is ridiculous in that since water is lethal to them, they probably shouldn't have chosen to invade a planet that's mostly water in the first place. Even if they were going from planet to planet, one look at earth shows a whole bunch of water. One must assume that they know what will kill them. That just makes the aliens seem stupid almost. And M. Night makes this seem like a threat to humanity. Stupid aliens invading earth is just not as threatening as it should be. That clash between the style and content just doesn't work and it usually doesn't work in the medium of film. That becomes the fatal flaw in the movie. I also think that it's the movie that he starts to lose his classic hollywood charm that he was combining with horror. Once that was lost, which was the redeeming quality in the Sixth sense, there seems to be a disconnect between the viewer and the director. So yeah. That's my problem with signs.
