Night Shyamalan originally had, he's lost. When Sixth Sense came out, he was tipped as the next big thing, but I'm sorry to say, it's no longer there. In my mind, he cannot match any films up to the success and sheer uniqueness of Sixth Sense. Signs just fails miserably. The concept was a good idea, but the execution was terrible. It reminded me very much of Blair Witch Project, as in what little action there was happens off screen, and the torches as well. It's also definitely not Mel Gibson's best film. Even the actors appear to struggle with the dialogue-heavy script, and not really much happens. Apart from one brief glimpse of an alien. Oooh. Fascinating. The problem I think that Signs has, is that it's already following many other, far superior, alien movies. Aliens attacking the earth has been done, and lots more memorable than this. There's also the overly religious theme, which the film probably would have done better either toning down, or scrapping altogether. It was really just thrown in to try and justify what was happening in the film. The scenes between Gibson and his kids and his brother are way too sentimental and really cringeworthy. The finale doesn't really make the film better. The discovery that the naked aliens find water like acid to their skin is atrocious! Why come to earth, the surface of is mostly covered in water, and the atmosphere is full of water droplets and vapour?! And then they travel millions of light years with far advanced technology - and then can't break into a wooden house?! Are you kidding me? But the most ridiculous thing is not only do the characters not pay attention to the dogs, who sensed something was not right (time to get myself a dog), but the fact that all the sophisticated radar equipment cannot detect the aliens entering our atmosphere - but a BABY MONITOR can?! Huh?! A film to stay well away from. Thankfully, I didn't spend my hard earned (ha!) money on it, but borrowed it from a friend. I shall approach M. Night Shyamalan's films with trepidation from now. Oh, and when a director decides to give himself a speaking role in his own film, make it a SHORT one. Rating:  - AWESOME!I think this is the best movie from M. Night Shamalon. Definitely a must own! Rating:  - If you're into E.T.s, this is an excellent flick!I totally believe there are aliens living out there and this movie definitely makes me even more interested. I loved how the first part of the movie was so mysterious, and once the aliens were revealed it made my skin crawl. If you're into Sci-Fi, check this one out! And if you're a Joaquin Phoenix fan like me, you definitely should buy this one ASAP!! Rating: - Good movieA very good movie by M.Night, he's done it again, with this movie about aleins! It has you Holding the the hand of the person beside you...tight. But if you are by yourself, who knows what your holding?! This one is about aleins attacking the world from a family's veiw. the film stars Mel Gibson and joaquin phoenix who both did a wonderful preformance. It, well to me it is, not as good as the Villige or the Six Sense. the speicial feature's includes nights first alein film which I thought was pretty cool. Over all I'd say it is a good film. Two thumbs up. SOOooo, order this film, wait for it to get here, buy some pop-corn, cook it, lay on he sofa, watch the movie! P.S. don't forget to turn of the light's!! Rating: - Subtle and MovingThis movie is quiet, and subtle. Funny and heartbreaking. Moving and frightening. In many ways it surpasses "The Sixth Sense" for me as Shyamalan's truly "Great" film, simply because i grew to love this family, and identify with them. It is a shame that the next two films that Shyamalan has released have been so incredibly frustratingly sub-par. But here, he shines, telling a modern day story of not-so-little green men coming to earth, and not in a friendly way. He very easily could have failed here, and this could have turned into a cheesy, b-movie, But he makes you believe. Hopefully he will do that again one day.
