Old (2021) Movie Review

“He’s standing next to a black girl who clearly is cracking.” Lol😂🤣😂

Snap, crackle, pop! Rice Crispies!

[@emanuelespinoza9325]

I went and saw this with my sister. She wanted to see it and I was interested in seeing it. Personally, although my sister didn't like this movie, I thought it was average at best, or at least close to it. I will say that I had read Sandcastle, the comic that was the basis for this movie. It had a darker and depressing ending than this film, not to mention that there was some graphic content like nudity. I kid you not. All I can say is that I was glad that I saw and got it out of my system.

And so castles made of sand Fall in the sea eventually

[@jeffbroadbent5072]

Omg this rant is great XD I want M Night to hear this so bad

[@n.b.l.5709]

lol

[@n.b.l.5709]

put it on his twitter or something lol

[@JurassicGodzillaFan]

So sick of M. Night. After he did Signs, every film went to shit. He is one of the worst directors ever. This film further proves it. He needs to stop making films. This is another one that sucks and confusing.

[@daimonatkins3046]

You’re not wrong He’s track record hasn’t been the best since he did Signs aside from one or two exceptions

[@Johnlindsey289]

Damn right

[@cielohuerta295]

I'm sorta the same way with Rob zombie 😕 and Eli Roth especially fucking Eli Roth ! 😑

[@emanuelespinoza9325]

One other thing, Matt, I must say that if you think that M. Night Shyamalan is a hack at writing and directing movies, I think David Cage is his equivalent when it comes to video games. Games like Indigo Prophecy (or Fahrenheit as it's known overseas), Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human, they are as bonkers as an M. Night Shyamalan film.

[@thepossessor]

The tagline for this movie should have been "Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'.........."

[@bigideas3]

I always think of the line from Happy Gilmore - "You can't take her house, she's too old." M Night gets to do some of these movies because he self finances them. In the special features he said some of the camera moves were done to show the passing of time or something like that. One of his daughters was a second unit director and another wrote the song the girl sings in the film.

[@dylanmorris7357]

I have heard so many mixed things on this movie, but I'm honestly still morbidly curious to check it out one of these days just to see how bad it is.

[@belindaginete2931]

Me too. The negative reviews made me want to watch the movie even more.

[@backpackmatt]

It's worth a ⌚.

[@niksta007a]

It's so bad it's almost into 'so bad it's good ' territory, but the acting renders it unwatchable.

[@movietv20249]

So disappointed. I was planning to watch this movie! Thanks for saving me time Matt.

[@joerazz91]

Again why does M Night keep getting jobs! And I still can’t believe this is the same guy who directed one of my favorite movies. I’ve never seen a director who had a good start to his career, die so fast it’s insane when you think about it. Nice rant

[@charliesteffens5529]

I would have liked to have seen what James Wan and Leigh Whanell would have done with this

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

And Sam raimi

[@Timelord007]

Fantastic review & a excellent rant on this nonsensical drivel of a film, the writings awful, the acting is dodgy & the twist pathetic. Matt summed M. Night career up perfectly he's vastly overrated with only a handful of decent films. Matt always tells it as he sees it this is a non bullshit zone & great review.

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

He should had stop making movies after 2002

[@joseluna2282]

Thank you for the heads up. I intended to, but never ended up seeing this in the theater.

[@michaelmenei5403]

Oh man the moment I saw this, I just had to immediately click. All this torture Matt...It's a miracle you're still alive. How do you manage to do it?

[@vicenteguerrero1433]

i shudder to think what Matt's reaction eview will be the day he is paid to review every movie directed by Lucifer Valentine. LV is most famous for his "vomit gore" series

[@michaelmenei5403]

@@vicenteguerrero1433 Or worst. Any of these films. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGOrppKCf7x2haM Just when I thought movies like Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa, Cats, The Amazing Bulk, and the animated Titanic films were the worst... I was wrong apparently.

[@TotalMeltdown2]

Honestly the last M. Night Shyamalamadingdong movie I ever saw was The Village and that was terrible. Did not even care to see anything of his after that

[@LordMalice6d9]

I haven't liked any of his movies since Signs.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Saw it at theaters with free ticket I used and lame as hell

[@niksta007a]

Great rant! Watched this to see for myself how bad it was. I think it's fair to say M.Goodnight is beginning to give Neil Breen a good run for his money in ALL aspects of film production.

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

I got to be honest with you I rather watch bicentennial man with Robin Williams Because it's a better movie than m night shyamalan's old And I think Chris Columbus is a better director than m night shyamalan

[@backpackmatt]

M. Night Shamaylan has never cared about his characters. It's all about thought-experiments w him. He's not into real character development but approaches film making like a scientist conducts an experiment on monkeys.

[@nathanforester5993]

Now i'm no medical expert but I can honestly say that an injury of any kind wouldn't get worse, then again I suppose it depends and yeah...the decomposition process definitely wouldn't be THAT fast.

[@MiguelArcos2003]

I knew this was going to be a rant I’ve honestly not seen the movie but I’m not even going to bother because I’m tired of M. Night Shyamalan with his shitty twists, writing and directing he really needs to retire from making another movie after making awful shit like After Earth or Glass

[@Johnlindsey289]

The Visit was horrible too

[@MiguelArcos2003]

@@Johnlindsey289 Agreed! Sadly I used to like The Visit (2015) but when I rewatched it last year it really doesn’t hold up at all the direction, the scares, the writing, the story and the fucking humor especially at the end with the brother with his shitty rapping song and it’s one of M. Night’s most overrated movies while The Sixth Sense wasn’t really that great of a movie at all but it’s a fun movie it’s definitely miles better than The Visit. Signs should have been his last movie to direct and write after that he shouldn’t have directed another movie ever again especially The Last Shitbender

[@hildriet056]

Apart of me wonders if him being from another country is the reason why his characters don't really translate well in a western sense but I have no idea really...I haven't seen his films since Devil to be honest.

[@Stewieboy1995]

Devil wasn’t that good after you found out who the killer was. It was good when they didn’t reveal who it was but then it got worse

[@thepossessor]

@@Stewieboy1995 So you would have preferred if the killer wasn't revealed or your issue is with who the killer was?

[@matt11708]

@@Stewieboy1995 devil is not a made movie by him but its far better then old and the visit.

[@projectpat8807]

I have no interest in seeing this movie, but I was interesting in watching the review/rant. Also, 2021 has been a weak year for movies. Only ones I've liked are Those That Wish Me Dead, The Suicide Squad, The Conjuring 3, and Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1 & 1. I haven't got to watch that new Jason Statham movie, but I'm sure I'll like it. I still need to watch Nobody as well. I might add Jungle Cruise to the list of movies I liked. It was an okay movie. Didn't love it, but didn't hate it. I may need to watch it again though. I'm sure I'll like Halloween Kills, so I could probably add that to the list ahead of time. But yeah. Everything else has been kind of a letdown or forgettable. I'll probably still buy Fast & Furious 9 on Blu-Ray just for series/franchise completion purposes, although I may watch it one more time just to make sure the disc doesn't skip or anything.

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

What about malignant and Ghostbusters afterlife

[@moviemetalrockmcdonald1982]

I remember seeing the trailer for The Visit. I saw the twist coming a mile away

[@redpillnibbler4423]

I really like Signs I think it’s his best movie.

[@LordMalice6d9]

M. Night needs to stop making movies. This is just painful by now.

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

I am morbidly curious about this film tbh. I actually really enjoyed M. Night Shyamalan's last 2 movies Split and Glass and I actually really liked Alex Wolff in the Jumanji movies.

[@wiinterflowers4277]

He was actually good in the Jumanji movies. That kinda gave me the idea where I thought "hey he wasn't bad in Midsommar. The direction was just bad!"

[@malivore7264]

this was so close to becoming so bad its good like the happening but it was honestly very simple plot sypnosis for better or worse but some of the dialogue was laughable the worst part is the camera angles, he should be demoted on that alone, m night that is cause that caused me physical pain

[@PrestonLions3]

M Night Shyamlian movies are getting old nowadays overrated director

[@andykishore]

That title is very fitting.

[@alexreeder2372]

I agree matt

[@puppiesarepower3682]

M. Night Shat-a-Long Ding Dong. My sociopathic cousin loves the guy's films; sociopathic being the key word here. I've NEVER liked any of Mr Ding-Dong's films.

[@marceezy6983]

In movie old the characters should of left the beach

[@RetaliationStudios1997]

I'm more into John McTiernan (who directed Die Hard, Predator, and The Hunt for Red October), so M. Night Shyamalan is a hit-and-miss for me. 🤷‍♂

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

I'm more into other directors like Rob Cohen, James Wong, James Cameron and the list goes on and on But m night shyamalan is a horrible director

[@RetaliationStudios1997]

@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 Absolutely! The Village was supposed to be a horror film by the looks of the trailer, but instead, it was a romance! I mean, WTF?!

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

@@RetaliationStudios1997 I like Rob Cohen because he directed the fast and the Furious (2001),triple X, stealth, daylight and dragon the Bruce Lee story I like James Wong because he directed final destination 1 and 3 and Jet li's the one

[@joshpritt2146]

I'm more into Steven Soderbergh, John Frankenheimer and William Friedkin. Soderbergh because he directed Magic Mike (2012), Che Part 1&2, Contagion (2011) and Erin Brockovich. I like John Frankenheimer because he made French Connection II (1975), The Gypsy Moths (1969), The Horseman (1971) Friedkin of course cause he directed the first French Connection (1971).

[@n.b.l.5709]

just the trailer alone kept away from this one lol, i think some to many people think they are high n mighty just saying that director or so's name...lol

[@strangerboi101]

I heard mixed this about it so I don't know.

[@matt11708]

the visit was overrated a kid raps was unfunny and dumb but old was better then that movie but its not great a kid asking about the age and what they do for a living was like ok we get it kid.

A certain Stargate episode from season 1 comes to mind...Basically the same idea with the experiment...

Also I knew this was coming folks ✌😉

[@dong.corleone]

This movie was so bad it was funny

[@cielohuerta295]

All M shamalon just did was a lame ass remake of a tales from the crypt episode from 1992 which is 100 times better than this shit and that's sad because that's an episode from 29 fucking years ago and that's one of my favorite episodes of that show I can't remember the name of it but check it out dawg this rant/review is the best one you did in a long time ramboraph4life take care bro ✌❤😁🤘💀🤘 adios amigo !

[@jermainehaslam5634]

I really enjoy Signs but I stayed away from his other films, it would of been cool if david cronenberg directed Old he knows how to deliver on body horror!

[@catfightparadise]

I couldn't get thru the first 20 minutes... I fell asleep... so.. damn.. boring. The acting is atrocious, the kids act like aliens... I just couldn't. lol, this review/rant is better than the actual movie.

go figure magnus is an actor/model too...lol cuckin for those roles huh

M.Night should just do comedies at this point because his movies are an absolute joke

N.Night really is the most overrated writer/ directors ever truly a epic job on the rant bro once again a good idea ruined by his writing and directing and his dumbass twist endings IMHO!

Why ...rant? His best movie since long time ago

[@puppiesarepower3682]

This film was given an interesting idea and it was executed poorly. Take your blinders off.

[@geoffjoffy]

This movie sucked. Great idea but a very poor movie. And a great rant. Cheers!

[@boomstickcritique902]

I like most of his films except those that are considered terrible that most areas agree on. I tend to agree with the majority on M Night movies as for the Visit I thought it was alright to me that was a Horror Comedy B movie that had the inherent silly feeling that made me laugh I had an alright funny time with it. I have heard mixed things about this one, haven't seen it myself. I liked Sixth Sense Sign's Unbreakable Split Glass The Visit, I thought The Village was alright but suffered from a weak twist that didn't feel earned. I hated After Earth Air Bender and found The Happening so bad, it's a great comedy. Lady in the Water I don't remember much about, but I think I like most of the liked M Night movies and hate generally the ones majority do. So I think I'm standard with M Night movies. I think people give M Night money because his movies make money, he has a fan base from his stuff I think, even if it's a cult fan base. Even when M Night makes a bad movie people seem to like it even as a joke, so from what I gather people just seem to like his stuff even the bad ones.

[@creasemason6347]

So... You enjoyed it then? Lol

[@michaelkikle3018]

Just watched this for the first time ever, man. Was really intrigued by the concept, years ago, and just never got around to watching it. Bought it today at Walmart for nearly $7, and hated the ending of it. Mostly, a solid watch, but still pretty disappointing. I wish they hadn’t explained a single thing about this island, ocean-side area. Would’ve been so much better to not rely on some stupid fucking twist.
