Summary: The Best Thing About This Movie
Review: So these aliens build spaceships to cross the cosmos. They are smart and creepy and intent on world domination. They have, or did I mention this already, galaxy-spanning technology. There plan is going well, except they forgot that water is like acid to them, it burns them up, and they lack the technology to make space suits to go along with their spaceships. So they creep around misty cornfields (hmmm, isn't mist actually WATER?), and might still have prevailed if Mel and Co. hadn't been crafty enough to lock one in a closet. Humanity prevails again! Super soakers for everyone, in case they should dare to return!

Summary: This COULD Have Been One Of The Scariest Movies Ever.....
Review: This movie was twice as long as it should have been because so much time was wasted with the metaphysical clap of Mel Gibson's character trying to find faith in God again and the useless understory of his wife's death.Just the general story of hostile aliens coming to harvest humans as maybe a food source was scary and enough story in itself. Not enough was covered of the space ships hovering over cities all over the world. Too many huge plot holes: Why did the family hole up in the big house and not the little guest house? Takes more energy and resources to secure a 3-story house than the little house.(And to board up ALL those windows.) Why did no one have a gun? Was the Mel Gibson character a good liberal? Why do children (again ad nauseum) have brains that receive extra-terrestrial messages more efficiently than adults? Couldn't all the Hollywood money and creative "geniuses" come up with a scarier alien? At the climax when the aliens were scurrying around outside the house, the movie was a real nail-biter.I don't want to give too much away, but if Mel had had to go out into the cornfield to find his son (instead of the alien coming inside), I would have just freaked with suspense and fear. Could you imagine the flashlight shining through the dark corn and then flashing on a (really scary) alien face? If this movie had just not bogged down in fat (the metaphysical) and just concentrated on the complete take-over of Earth, it would have been so much more entertaining. As it stands, I'm 58 years old and the old 1954 "War Of The Worlds" still scares the daylights out of me. "Signs" could have been this much of a classic.

Summary: One of the worst movies of all time
Review: Signs is a rather incoherent movie with an empty plot. I'm not sure who actually watches this, since no one in my entire bank has seen it except me.

Summary: Signs
Review: This is a great thriller and captivating movie with Mel Gibson and his years of acting experience really pays off. The whole cast was really into this movie:- 5 star acting performance. Ok, but what about the story? "great thriller and captivating" it has high family values and how they deal with the situation and they already have emotional problems within the family. As I just said! This movie is a great piece of work a really must see. You really should watch the DVD at night in a room with the lights turned off with your family becuase this is a family thing aswell, you just get more into the movie. If you expect to see allien violence and lazer guns, swords and whateva, then dont watch the movie! Because this is a THRILLER. Great for the whole family! young and old (ignore the rating!) This movie is great and I personally own it on DVD, but I recommend borrowing the movie from you video store because it not a movie you really watch over and over like you would with "the matrix". Mainly because afterwards you pretty much know what happens. yep it one of those one time enjoyable movies, so yeah, borrowing is highly recommended rather than buying but if your family loves it, well thats up to you. Well I know this had to be helpful if you havent seen the movie yet. Over an' out.

Summary: I hate alien movies.
Review: I'm the biggest chicken when it comes to alien movies. So far the only ones not to give me at least one nightmare was Mars Attacks and Independence Dat, cause they were just stupid.
The family in the corn fields wake up one night to find a monstrous crop circle in their fields. Soon spooky, unexplainable things happen, and lights begin to hover over cities that are less than a mile away from a crop circle.
And then the scariest part for me happens. It's a news reel in which an alien just walks past suddenly and I admit, it scared me really bad, cause I know that somewhere in the universe there's aliens, cause really, the universe is just so big!
If I wasn't scared by it I would have given it higher, but I just was.
IT was still good though, I only hate it because it's scary, you know what I mean?

Summary: Just a Mess
Review: Or just plain awful. Nothing holds together in the movie in terms of the aliens: eg, smart enough to travel across the stars, too dumb to break down a door--which may be good way of describing this movie! The other aspect--loss of and reclaiming of faith--is old, tired, cliched,and totally illogical. So if you take away the "oomph!" of the aliens and the "hmmm..." of the psychology, what are we left with? Something about halfway between zilch and a cavernous yawn.

Summary: Good suspense and emotion
Review: Don't believe the cranky reviews that lobbed onions at this movie because of the seemingly treacle very last scene. It's not treacle and everything in this movie leads up to the plausible ending. It's not an advertisement for religion, nor is it simplistically sentimental. The life decision made by Mel's character is well earned and based on the very scary and tragic yet miraculous things that happen before. It's also wonderfully suspenseful and very disconcerting (in an ego-busting way!)to see really scary movie monsters that give not one whit for our little lives (none of Spielberg's cuddly aliens here), and this gives the film a depth that matches the struggles the characters are going through in their emotional lives. Also, the kids are great! Even the tiny girl is a real character, with a serious side not usually allowed to children in films (Shayamalan seems to have a knack for respecting kid's inner lives). These kids are written and played as individuals, not cliche- spouting symbols of adult writers in love with some false notion of childhood. Finally, my only gripe is with one short bit near the end, where we get a flashback to Mel's earlier encounter with the critter. Since the rest of the movie treats the audience as smart enough to remember the various connections between people and themes, this was unceccessary and distracting to me.

Summary: 'eh
Review: After the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, I guess I was expecting.. well.. more. If you enjoy sitting down to a good movie that surprises you in the end - this won't be the one. However, if you enjoy a good solid movie that is telling a story of 'what would happen if', then you will probably enjoy Signs.

Summary: It has his amoebas in it ...
Review: It is hard to think of anything hokier than crop circles and aliens from outer space set to take over the world. However, I really did enjoy Mr. Shyamalan's "Sixth Sense" and found "Unbreakable" OK. So, I was prepared to give this movie a chance, but had many doubts about what it was going to be. And I thought I had the movie pretty much figured out, but it really is only about aliens as a means to the point of the movie, which is really about the issue of faith. There is a great deal of humor in the movie. Who doesn't love the Hershey Kiss foil helmets? Or the girl at the pharmacy who insists on confessing to Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) even though he reminds her firmly that he is no longer a priest. The tragedy of Graham's wife being run over in a rather amazing accident is important to the movie in unexpected ways. It is interesting that Mr. Shyamalan plays the poor soul who fell asleep and killed Graham's wife. But he ends up being the vehicle of the revelation of faith. I don't expect this movie to be everyone's cup of tea. But I enjoyed it a great deal. There is a lot of suspense. The alien stuff is handled in a fresh way. The child actors, especially Abigail Breslin, are very good. And Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, and Cherry Jones give very fine performances - think about them sitting around the table while Graham and Merrill try and describe what they think they saw to Officer Paski. The movie does hold up well after repeated viewings and there aren't many suspense movies that can do that.
