Summary: Signs
Review: This film is probably 15 years too late in my opinion. Should have been released in the 80's when crop circles were still mysterious (and interesting). The movie is slow, unconnected, too obvious and poorly written. M. Night Shyamalan assumes we're too dumb to catch subtle hints so he over exaggerates them to make sure we don't miss his point. The over-pronounced outline of the crucifix on the wall, the excessive placement of glasses of water around the house - you know they'll all come into play at the end of the movie. The camera sits idle for meticulously long periods of time and doesn't add any drama or suspense to the story line. Shyamalan follows his Unbreakable style of movie making by spending more time framing a shot rather than framing the entire film to flow smoothly. I wasn't expecting a lot from the film and that's what I got. I think it's still worth seeing but probably not a good thing for Amazon.com when I recommend that you rent this one instead of adding it to your DVD library. I'm sure this will be one of the bargain movies for under [money] in a couple of years. It could have been worst... (...). By the way...one of the DVD extras is a short documentary about the location scouts finding 40 acres of land so they could plow, plant corn and built a farm house for the movie. WOW! Talk about being (...)! I guess there aren't any corn farms and farm houses in America any more.

Summary: signs: the review
Review: Signs setting is in Bucks County. Mel Gibson plays the role of a widower who has walked away from being a pastor. His brother lives with him and helps take care of the kids. As the movie progresses strange things start happening.
Mel Gibsons role is very important. He is the main character. His attiude and expressions fit his part very well. He was a good choice for the main role. The closeness of the family shows that they care for one another. The unity as a family really brings the story together. It is interesting how the movie is filmed through the life of the family and not the town.
The movie was really good. The farm atmosphere helped create the eerieness of the situation. At times the storyline went a little to in depth with details but over all did a good just laying out details and hints. The directors pick of actors was close to perfect. Each actor played their role well. It is definitly worth watching more then once.

Summary: Signs
Review: What I thought of the movie signs was a great movie it show how there were aliens that was making the sign. The other thing that I disagree about the movie. Well the thing that I would change in the movie is how it begins.You kind of get loss if you did not know what you were watching. Another thing I did like how they set up the scene where he is remembering his wife and how she died I really did'nt understand that quiet well. I could see if the alien had posing her then I see putting in that scene.I really did'nt see the meaning of all that.The also good parts as well how Mel Gibson help his son breath with him and how he ask good not to take his son away like he took his wife from him. Also like the girl and the boy because I thought they played a good role in the movie.I thought they played that part with mel Gibson. That how I feel about the movie signs.One more thing I like about the movie how it made him go back to being a preacher and beliving in God again.

Summary: Suspensfull, Keeps you on the edge of your seat
Review: M.Night Shyamalan did an exelent job once again on this movie like he did when he directed the Sixth Sense. The fact that it took place in Pennsylvania was awsome.If you like a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat you should see this one. Throughout the length of the movie the you will definately experience lots of things that will keep you glued.
One of my favorite parts is when Graham and Merril chase what they think are the Pritcherd brothers around the house.But then they couldn't find anyone. Also I believe the characters were cast well. I think Mel Gibson playing the part of a preacher did an exelent job.It made this scene work because you don't usually see a preacher cuss.It was a comical scene.
Another favorite part is when the little girl comes into her dads bedroom and asks for a glass of water. Watch this scene very carefully so you dont miss any details.
Very enjoyable entertainment, everyone should see it!

Summary: Signs Review
Review: Signs is a Movie that has great setting and experience actors. at the bigining of the Film you might ask yourself what is the point of the signs, but after a wile it make sense. If I was to tell a friend of this movie it will be a positive thing,my explanation will be about the characters mainly, bacause I thought they did a magnificant jog,who else could do it better than Mel Gibson. another thing is the setting the movie place in PA which is reasonable because of the corn fields, but the only thing I did not understand about the movie was the alliens, my question is why was Mel Gibson and his family being bather by alliens?

Summary: The jumpy scenes saved this movie
Review: Signs is another science fiction movie about aliens coming to our planet. The movie was well directed and took place in the wide-open farmlands of Pennsylvania, which made the story more believable. Other then the children being completely boring and a little too smart for their own age, they were good actors. The actor who portrayed Merrill, Mel Gibson's brother, did a mediocre job. Mel Gibson had to carry him throughout the entire film. Mel Gibson added some humor at some points which were pretty funny. The storyline was not bad and kept the viewer guessing to what was going on until the very end. You never knew who certain people where and what they meant to the story when you first saw them. I would recommend this movie for people to see, not as a scary movie though. The movie is more drama, and about a man and his faith in God. If it wasn't for the jumpy scenes, which were great, in this movie, it would just be catogorized as another sci-fi movie about aliens coming to earth. Good movie to watch just for enjoyment and not as a critic though.

Summary: Classic Suspense, another alien invasion classic.
Review: Signs will someday become as classic as other alien thrillers such as Independence Day or War of the Worlds. As with most of his films, M Night Shymalan tries to make a point or reinforce a theme strongly. Also with most of his films, his use of sounds and music to create suspense and drama is extraordinary.
Faith has always been a strong theme of his, and continues to be in Signs. A major question of Faith, "Miracle or coincidence?" is addressed in this movie, fits flawlessly. It can add a lot to the movie experience if you have any heart at all.
Throughout the movie, the music plays a great supporting role. The tone of the music always matches the tone of the movie. If you want really eery background music, but the soundtrack. The audio line throughout the whole movie is so good that you could probably listen to it without even watching it and nearly get the gist of the movie.
Though I've seen many bad reviews for this movie, I cannot change my feelings, it was an excellent fulfilling movie. It's like going to buy a showy car and finding a nice engine underneath too. If you want to go see a good wholeworthy movie that won't completely rot your brain like most of the "good" movies, see this.

Summary: Makes You Think
Review: I would recommend this movie to people who like horror movies. M. Night is an awesome director, and did an exceptional job on the plot and script. Everyone, especially the children, played their characters perfectly. The setting was especially creepy. The idea of having it take place on a farm, with no one around for miles, just corn fields, was great. Horror films that take place in the countryside rather then the city, have more of an effect on your mind.
The whole plot of the story builds up slowly, but the entire time, I guarantee you'll have Goosebumps waiting for something to happen or pop out at you. It makes you think. When I watched this movie, the wheels in my head started to turn and I asked myself plenty of questions that would normally seem outlandish. "Are we really alone?" And "Could this ever really happen?" In my opinion, no we are not alone, and M. Night points out perfectly that this could someday happen. We don't know the truth, it's all in what you believe and what kind of person you are. So ask yourself, what type are you? I've always been a believer, and now after seeing this movie, I think alot of other people are also.

Summary: Love it!
Review: Signs is an excellent movie with a cleverly constructed plot line. M Night definitely has what it takes to be a director. I look forward to any additional movies he might make. This particular movie is about a minister who looses his faith and the the tribulations that come with along the way. This movie has excellent special effects that seem too real! There are a few innapropriate phrases in this movie that could have been reworded or cut out from the final cut of the movie,but nothing that couldn't be looked over. Every aspect of this movie was well thought out and execuited in an entertaining way!
