Summary: Just b/c I gave it 1 star - doesn't mean I have no taste!
Review: The little punk down there that said that just b/c Mr. Reese gave this 1 star - he had no taste in movies. I think that he got it all mixed up. This film was VERY overhyped and ridiculous. Really - does cheezier acting exist? Good question. There were about 100 things that were inserted into this to make it more interesting. Well, only those who couldn't distinguish the absurdity from the beginning didn't realize it. I was very let down by this. It looked great. Too bad it wasn't even average. Grade: D-

Summary: Why is this nominated for Best Picture?
Review: "The Sixth Sense" at first glimpse looks like an orignal horror film with an artistic 'edge' to it - but it's anything but original or artistic. This film was completely disappointing. All [I MEAN ALL] of the interesting scenes in this film were either already done in "Poltergeist" or were just not explained AT ALL. In fact, very few things were explained in this film. The acting by some [NOT THE CHILD - I FOUND HIM ANNOYING] was good and there were some startling scenes, but this is nothing to drool over. It is amazing to me how this was nominated for Best Picture for the upcoming Academy Awards when excellent and ORIGINAL films like "Magnolia" and "Election" were left out. I was angry. The Wall Street Journal felt the same way. It was big surprise - I will admit - but not a pleasant one. I am a teenager and whenever I go to the movies I don't expect much - just something that will entertain me. When I left the theater after seeing this, it left an empty feeling in me - because I didn't understand why anything happened the way it did. When the young boy is trapped upstairs in the room, he screams and his mother finds cuts on him. NEVER EXPLAINED. When the mother all of a sudden notices that there is a "ghost" in some family pictures? LAME. Oh - and most of the acting - LAME as well. Certain parts of this film, however, were entertaining - and that is why I gave it 2 stars, not 1. The ending was nice, although it doesn't fit with some other parts of the film. I won't talk about it b/c some of you haven't seen this - I know that. I'm warning you though- don't trust the hype. Some critics liked it, some hated hated it. I was on the verge of hating it.

Summary: WHAT A HORRIFYING, CLAUSTROPHOBIC PHENOMENON!
Review: Never before in my life I have ever experienced a terrifying motion picture (since STANLEY KUBRICK'S THE SHINING) that becomes evil just from the outlandish performances and a superb script. This movie, not only crosses the line between good and evil, but has also received 6 1999 Academy Award (Oscar)nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor, Haley Joel Osment. Even though no Oscar nomination was available to Bruce Willis this year, this performance will go down as "the performance of his career!" The best feature available on this DVD, is probably the EXTENDED ENDING. You might of thought this movie's ending was spectacular, but there was more that was hidden from you! (IF IT WASN'T FOR HALEY JOEL OSMENT'S ELECTRIFYING PERFORMANCE, THIS MOVIE WOULD NOT HAVE SURPASSED THE EMOTIONAL FEELING OF WHAT THE AUDIENCES WERE ABOUT TO EXPECT! ) A movie that signals with breakthrough performances and a ricochet of events, matches with "The Sixth Sense." I give this movie a 10 out of 10!

Summary: Another one-trick pony
Review: The Sixth Sense is a decent movie to rent, but it's all hype. The movie has a few "scary" moments which keep you awake, but it's basically a snooze fest with one great gimmick. You have to see it to find out what the "trick" is, but it's purely a gimmick movie, not worth all the hoopla it's receiving.

Summary: Perfect Sense
Review: It's no surprise this film was nominated for an Oscar, this is a superbly crafted film. Even after seeing it a second time (knowing the ending), the film never cheats its ending. The writer/director, M. Night Shyamalan, has done a great job to make sure all the details add up. And far as acting goes, Bruce Willis, Toni Collette, and especially Haley Joel Osment, are amazing.

Summary: I heard a sound of silence
Review: The movie is basically about a child psychologist Malcolm Crowe(Bruce Willis)who trys to help a child(Cole Sear played by Haley Joel Osment)with real emotional problems. The first 30 minutes of the movie can seem slow,leaving the taste of a very good episode of the X-files in the viewers mouth. However the film really then lunches itself on the audience, when the child confines in Willis,"I see dead people,", and the movie takes off. A true 5 star movie if'll you'll very see one. Cole Sear, played by Haley Joel Osment is incredible in the film and should win a oscar, and so is Willis(who I'm a big fan of). The story is excellent, and ending the most powerfull for years, it makes you wanna watch it all over again. This movie is a modern classic, and should be bought on DVD, showing off all its grace. I hope someone will found this review helpful.

Summary: The best movie ever
Review: I think that Sixth Sense is the best movie ever. I don't think that it is very good for little kids but for older kids i think it is great. Yeah at first it is kinda hard to understand if you talk the whole time. I watched it with a group of friends and i would talk and every 5 mintues i would hear shut up or you will not understand it but after watching it the 2nd time i understand what it is about. Just to think about it or watch it i could never think that it could really ever happen.

Summary: Great film, but skipped through subject too fast.
Review: This kind of subject is fascinating for anyone - for each individual on this Earth there isn't a more important question than 'what happens when you die' - whatever the answer is, its eternal. If you truly aren't interested in this question, you're either very young, or have missed the point of life altogether! :-) If you're hoping for a blood-and-guts horror film, or have come to see it because you've been pulled in by some hype-machine, you'll probably be disappointed - its not a horror film, its a thoughtful, suspenseful story - and there are few films ever made that can live up to their marketing hype, so don't listen to it! You'll nearly always go away feeling ripped-off. "The Sixth Sense" features a boy, Cole Sear, who is being terrified by visions of the dead, and a child psychologist, Malcolm Crowe, who tries to help him - in part to exorcise a failure in his past. There was another boy that the psycologist had treated who was haunted, but he failed to help him. We see this boy at the beginning of the film, now grown into a young man - tortured and terrified, the boy blames the psychologist for his years of torment... he had been promised help by the doctor, and had been left to his demons by a mis-diagnosis of emotional problems by a man who couldn't bring himself to believe what his child patient was telling him. The man, standing shaking in his underwear, pulls out a gun (don't know where he was hiding that!) and shoots Crowe in the stomach, then puts the gun to his own head and fires. The next autumn/fall history begins to repeat itself with Crowes new patient, Cole. At first he can see no further than the rational, believing him to be emotionally disturbed because of his parent's separation - but just as he's about to give up on him, he reviews an audio recording of an old session (with the boy who would later shoot him), and comes across a faint voice that couldn't possibly have been there - a Spanish voice, pleading and begging - "I don't want to die!" Then begins Crowes attempts to really help the boy, by finding out what these visitors want - and if there ever can be a way to make them leave. If this film has one major flaw its that it skips over its subject too fast. The boy is supposed to be tortured, but we only ever see a couple of ghosts - my sister has seen more ghosts than that! And if anything, there's no search for the answer to how to make them go away - Crowe puts his finger on the solution immediately - and then the doctor's theory is considered proved by just one ghost. That point aside, this is one of the better films I've seen, simply for its thoughtful speculation of the nature of ghosts, and the story's clever twists. This is the kind of film Twilight Zone fans will love, but maximum-body-count horror film fans will probably find weak and slow... Be that as it may, the line "I can see dead people" has got to be a film line destined to be in the future books of world's greatest film lines! One last thing - to really see this film you'll need to watch it twice!

Summary: Absolutely incredible - both chilling and moving
Review: I've never seen anything like this. 'The Sixth Sense' defies all genre categories; it manages to be scary, funny, and emotionally heart-wrenching all in the same film. Although the movie holds an atmosphere that is initially unsettling, it finishes off in such a satisfactory way that you'll want to watch it over and over again, just to keep experiencing the feeling it gives you. Bruce Willis is refreshingly good as a child psychologist, and Haley Joel Osment, as a troubled boy with a frightening secret, is nothing less than extraordinary. If you ever thought kids couldn't act, this guy will prove you wrong. Much of the emotional resonance of the film comes from his pained looks and whispered words. I can't recommend this one highly enough. It exemplifies what filmmaking should be all about. Positively brilliant.
