a someone who love the sixth sense and sign and and who like unbreakable and i have get to say it disappoint where shyamalan seem to be take his movie . lady in the water have none of those attribute . for one thing and it bore and something none of his other movie be . here we have a sloppily unstructured mess of a film fill to the brim with incoherent bedtime story mythology that change from one minute to the next and so even if you try and follow the world of the story your effort will only be meet with frustration . the film flaw be many and and a others have and will point them out with much more dexterity than me and i will simply list the film great foible . 1 ) shyamalan cast himself a a john the baptist character who will inspire a great leader who will change everything from a hastily construct presumable political treatise entitle and of all thing and the cookbook . give me a break . a someone who style himself a a modern day hitchcock and m. night should take a page from that man book and continue to play cameo role and not central one . 2 ) his support character be a mish mash of ethnic and cultural stereotype . the asian student who attend university but can not string together a coherent english sentence . of course the otherworldly mythology be the remnant of some vaguely eastern legend base on truth . the old jewish woman be tackily dress and her husband be always in the bathroom . please . 3 ) the film or movie critic be one of the only interesting and round character and and shyamalan kill him off a he rattle off trite contrivance . this character appearance seem like a defensive self conscious way to preempt the critical panning of this film . when a writer force one of his character to go on the defensive in dialogue and you know something have get to be wrong with a movie . 4 ) shyamalan continue his now hackneyed convention of have a protagonist who suffer tremendous loss in the form of familial death . enough already . paul g be a great actor and the unnecessary back story about a dead family and a lost medical practice trite and out of place . the list go on and on and but suffice it to say this movie be a waste of celluloid and or hard drive space if you would prefer . avoid like plague .
