Summary: Just Plain "Overrated"
Review: Unfortunetly, I have to disagree with most of the reviewers featured here. I just Signs yesterday and felt compelled to write a review on the movie. I found the movie to be very boring and slow. Now, I am not saying I don't like any slow moving films, but this one just seemed to drag on forever. I almost found myself nodding off at some point. The story was interesting and thought provoking, but the way the story was executed just seemed boring. Plain and simple. A lot of people are comparing this to The Sixth Sense and I don't find any similarities between them. I liked the Sixth Sense, but I did not like this very much.

The last 30 minutes or so was ok, but even the ending disappointed me. Mel Gibson was quite good in it and Joaquin Pheonix was also pretty good, but it just seemed to me to be a waste of talent on such a sub-par script.

Very interesting idea for a movie but never seemed to keep me interested long enough to stay awake. 2 stars for the last 25 minutes or so and for the idea of the film.

Had so much potential to be much better. Shame.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Positive Sign
Review: "Signs" is a movie not to be missed. This is not just a sci-fi flick; it is about spiritualism and faith as well. Mel Gibson plays a minister who has lost his faith in a well crafted story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and will surprise and amaze you at the end in much the same way as the director's earlier film "The Sixth Sense." No Hollywood ending here, just a very satisfying and significant ending.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Very Exciting Movie!
Review: If you want to see a movie where you forget to munch on your popcorn, Signs is the movie for you.

Signs is not a documentary on Crop circles so don't think you will find any answers to that mystery. Signs is more like a modern day "War of the Worlds".

Many have said that it left some "loose ends". Well, if it did, I was too engrossed in the movie to notice them.

Signs, however, is not for those that like to put on their thinking cap, take out their computer and analyze the movies that they see. These people will not enjoy Signs. But if you are looking for a movie that will have you hanging by your fingernails and wondering if perhaps - just perhaps - this is what crop circles are all about, well , you must see this movie. I highly recommend it.

Signs will have you hanging by your fingernails and jumping in your seat.

Forget loose ends and documentaries, just go and have a good time. Oh, and forget the popcorn, you won't remember to eat it.

Summary: Can't believe Mel consented to be in this movie.
Review: Started off great and ended up a huge flop. Now let's see. We have an alien race that conquered space, but cannot break into a basement door or out of a wooden pantry door. They navigated through space to find earth, but needed signs in corn fields for local directions. Horrible screen play. Really bad movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too bad I can't give it ZERO stars.
Review: Stinks big time. Aliens that can make huge crop circles, but unable to break a single wooden door? Faith lost-and-found? Give me a break! Do yourself a favor and avoid it at all costs, the trailer is MUCH better than the movie itself and all so-callled "critics' praises" are huge lies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best movie of 2002

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thrilling & Heart Warming
Review: M. Night Shymalan's newest film, following sixth sense and unbreakable, is another foray into goosebumps & chills. It's a story about a man and his two small children and brother. They live on a farm in Bucks County, PA and the appearance of crop circles has taken over their land as well as the world. What results is a thrilling trip through the different emotions they feel and how they deal with the chaos around them. This film touches on a lot of things one would not necessarily associate with a film of this genre. In all, I believe the film is all about grief and how we deal with the pain of loss. It has a very good message about the importance of family without preaching. There are some very funny moments too and I believe this is a real break-out film for Joaquin Phoenix, who plays Mel Gibson's brother. He acts with great intensity and yet, at the same time, lends much levity and humor to the plot. Overall, I enjoyed the film very much. My attention never wavered and I kept my eyes glues to the screen. I have attention deficit disorder so that's a really statement about the quality of this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing, Scary, Funny
Review: I first saw this movie on the opening day and I was awestruck. M. Night Shamylan is a pure genious. i loved Sixth Sense and Unbreakable and I had to see Signs, and believe me I was well satisfied. WARNING: This movie is very freaky, just like 6 sense, and I have been afraid to go into a dark area because of this movie. But i loved it. Your heart will pump nonstop through the whole movie and you will jump with excitement/fear during the whole movie. I am getting freaked out just writing this review. Whatever, to keep this short, YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE... Pay 8 bucks to see it, and what the heck, pay and extra 50 bucks for some popcorn and a coke!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every minute suspensful...reminds me of Hitchcock Movies
Review: I really loved this movie. For one, I find the subject of crop circles fascinating. Two, It was a great cast. Mel Gibson was great as a widowed father and reverend who has lost his way. Joaquin Phoenix was really funny, as was Culkin. It reminded me a lot of Alfred Hitchcock movies, particularly "The Birds". It didn't involve a lot of special effects or different environments....just the fear and eerieness of basically being a sitting duck...not knowing if it was the end of the world, not knowing how to defend yourself as it has never happened before, not knowing exactly what is out there. You are trapped in your house just waiting. It was scary, suspenseful and somehow managed to also include a person finding a lost faith. It also leaves you with things to think about when you walk out of the theater. I will buy this DVD and I recommend this movie as a good choice to go see.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Cheesy and Pretentious
Review: 'Signs' is the cheesiest alien invasion move to come along since the 1950s. What's worse, it tries to rise above its genre by overlaying the story of a minister who has lost, and regains, his faith. The movie takes itself very seriously, as if it has a profound insight to offer us. In reality, it is a predictable mishmash of pop superstition, cheap sentimentality, and a hissing stunt person in a green stretch-suit.

If you want to see an alien invasion movie, get 'Independence Day'. At least it had the good sense not to take itself seriously.
