Michael Bay would have made a better The Last Airbender film than him.

itt's rather unfortunate that shamalan became so closely associated with the twist ending. the thing he was really good at was atmosphere. watch the first few seconds of unbreakable: nothing but a sustained shot of bruce willis' face, but the bleakness and depression just fucking oozes off the screen and into your fucking soul. the 6th sense makes you feel the creeping terror and paranoia that only an imaginative 10 year old can feel. signs is a stupid fucking movie with a stupid fucking plot, but it's so well shot and edited and scored that you don't even notice how stupid it is until it's over.
i like to think that if the man ever gets over himself and teams up with a really good screen-writer, they could do something really amazing.

The thing about Shamalan is he did that association with twist endings himself. It worked in the Sixth Sense because of the long build up, careful directing and scene composition that led no one to suspect the twist until the end. He was just very good at setting it all up. But in the end, it was the story and acting that drew people in. The twist was a payoff. But somewhere, somehow he decided it was THE pay off and made it his signature. And then sadly started making worse and worse films, mostly based on a 'twist' that people were expecting to happen, and became to obvious even to casual view. The 'twist' concept really only works if people aren't expecting it...
