Summary: Signs****
Review: I would recommend seeing this movie, although it is certainly not Mel Gibson's finest work and I feel he may have been able to do a better job, it was very well acted out. The story itself has some holes in it but does portrait a typical farm family fighting almost stubbornly against an alien invasion of their home and planet.
The way in whihc the appearance of the aliens is portraited to you the viewer is I thought very well done. It was captivating and not to ruin the film (which this really shouldn't) but the appearance is portaited first in a seen with the character Meryll (who plays Mel Gibson's brother in the film) who is watching the coverage of the invasion on the news and the news puts an amateur taken film of a birthday party in a Latin American country in which the Aliens are seen for the first time. The way in which this was done was amazing it kept you on the edge of your seat waiting and both wanting to see and not to see the alien.
The holes I spoke of involve the aliens weakness which is a very big part in the film in tying things together. The movie basically is about a fallen preacher who loses faith after his wife tragically dies and finds his faith in miraculous signs as to how god is still there by showing him the signs that he created to help his family survive the invasion.

Summary: Sign Off
Review: I didnt get some parts of the film. To many plot holes for my liking. Tho it was nice since it was shot around Berks County so that was the only thing keeping me from totaly trashing it. the acting was ok but it is not fun to sit around thinking to your self "why would you arm your self with only a flash light, I mean didnt TV teach tou any thing?"

Summary: signs review
Review: The movie Signs, as a whole i found very entertaining and enjoyable though there were some things i believe may have been done differently, or more clearly developed. Picturing this story line may bring some amusement to mind, thinking of alliens and such. This story did have quite a bit of amusement to my taste but also encluded its clips of so called scares.The characors in the story overall i found very very well portrayed. The main children seemed a bit overly smart, but definatly not to the point this it was unbelievable. They helped move the story along very well and added a great persoal touch. Small town, corn fields, and the house the family lived in i believe were all teh perfect setting for such an earie story. These places give it a great mysterious feeling and fit in perfectly.If anything were to be added to the story i would have choosen some of the extra clips or outtakes. These scenes weren't exactly needed but i feel they would have added an explanation to some of the clips more clearly.I would definatly reccoment this movie to anyone no matter what thier personal taste in movies may be wether it is horor, comedy or drama. I feel this film touched each of them.

Summary: Signs (I like it, i like it a lot!)
Review: Yes, i said it. I liked it, signs is a great movie! It doesnt seem overly scary. Of course theres a few jumpy parts but nothing overly bad, what gets you is when you go out side at night after seein the movie. I like that the movie is based in a real place. Everything is always washington and new york. I like how it was placed smack dab in the middle of bucks county PA. I live right near bucks county,and near corn feilds, so that made the movie even better. I think the guys at did the casting deserve a pat on the back. Mel and the dude from gladiator did a fantastic job together... One thing i did'nt like though was the aliens. I think they messed up a little and its funny. How can a beast jump from the ground to the top of a roof, and break through a roof, yet it cant get out of a pantry and gets beat up by a guy with a base ball bat, odd.

Summary: The Aliens Attack
Review: I thought that the movie Signs was a very intriguing movie. It was about a town in Bucks County, Pennsyvania that is attacked by aliens. The actors and actresses that were called upon to perform in this movie did a very good job in my opinion. There were a few things that I found that were not that good, however. The designs for the aliens in the movie seemed like something that u would see while watching a saturday morning cartoon. I also found the aliens weakness to be quite unbelievable. Besides these two things, I thought that it was a very interesting movie.

Summary: james r. review of signs
Review: Basically, this story is far from believable. Aliens invading earth? Be more creative. I appriciate the moral, that miricales can happen, however, the way the creators wend around getting to this point was far from believable. I did, however, enjoy the fact that the director put all of these events through the eyes of one family and one family alone, unlike most alien movies that show the entire world or government facilities. These were your regular, everyday, small town people, over coming unproportional odds, but against aliens?
While I'm on the subject of the aliens, don't you think that if these aliens were alergic to water, they either 1. would not harvest a planet whose most abundunt recourse is water, and where virtually everything, including humans, have water in them or 2. would wear environmental suits, protecting them from the atmosphere and supersoakers, that is, if they are so smart (these aliens built cloaking devices for their space shuttles, as well as the ships themselves, also they sent scanners out to "check out" the area to see if anything harmful is around, including vapor and water baloons). Also, if these aliens have the leg strength to jump on top of a 10 foot barn, you'd think that they could kick down a pantery door. Quite proposterous!
All in all, this movie had a clear and good moral, but eh way the writers got around to it was completely unbelievable and unorigional James R.

Summary: "Signs" is really a religious movie
Review: Some people don't believe me when I say this but this movie is all about faith. I really can't tell you to much because I'll ruin it for you people who have not seen it.
It you watch movies of the symbolism this in a great one to watch. It is chak full of it. Mel Gibson is amazing. I really recomend this.
This is a story about one mans faith struggle, and how he comes to gripes with the loss of his wife. Its a story of how he relizes that God can overcome everything in life, even the greatest of evils (ex: the aliens).
Symbolism to look out for:
The water (it ties the whole movie together)
Bo's dreams
The book that his son buys at the store.
The family dinner where they eat anything they want.
and much more...
These all tie toghther with religious ideas, you have to look very closely and pay attention. Its a fantastic film, and one of my personal favorits.
Some more movies that have loads of symbolism are:
"K-PAX".
And "The Day the Earth Stood Still", (that one tells the life of Jesus) which is another alien film from the 50s. Those two are my dads personal favorits.
Be sure to dive this one a watch and make sure you look for the things I mentioned!

Summary: An AMAZING movie!!!!!
Review: I dont care what any of you think, but i think this is one of the greatest movies of all time. The Aliens needed to be a bit creepier, but the screenplay, acting, and graphics are all top notch. The movie hops straight into the story, and is not to complicated. There is a small bit of humor which was good, and the tension was great. I would recomend it to all.

Summary: Vastly overrated
Review: This movie was so hyped up last summer, with people saying it was the scariest movie they've seen in a long time. After seeing this, I determined that most people are very easily frightened. I was not scared by a single scene in this film. I thought that the plot was weak, the acting bland, and the ending unbelievable. People are also declaring that M Night Shymalan is "the new Spielberg". Please. Spielberg has more talent in his pinky finger than Shymalan has in his whole body! I see Night as some guy who just got really lucky with a decent first flick and is now churning out hopeless..."Sixth Sense" retreads. Give me something new to watch, buddy. I already saw your first movie twice, and now you're asking me to watch something almost exactly like it (only with aliens this time)? You've got one more chance to prove yourself to me Mr. Shymalan. I am not amused.

Summary: We really enjoyed this movie
Review: This movie was alot better than most of the movies I saw last year. I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the movie. While I was a little disappointed in the ending the first time I saw the movie after a second viewing I really came to appreciate what the director was trying to say and now enjoy the ending. This movie did not disappoint us at all and would reccomend it to others.
