Summary: Unviewable with mandatory previews
Review: This is the first DVD that I've purchased with Disney's (Buena Vista) dreaded mandatory previews on it and I am unable to view it. I watch DVDs on my PC and the programming at the beginning of the disk causes my system to crash every time. I have over 50 DVDs and have no problems with any of them. Please stop this practice immediately, I will never again purchase any disk with this "feature". I enjoyed the movie in the theaters and would love to see it again, but this "collector's edition" is useless.

Summary: The Creeps stay with you
Review: The Sixth Sense is an awesome movie and I would recommend this to anyone who loves creepy movies. One of the best movies I've ever seen and I agree that the ending took me by surprise. It was something I didn't expect! This is a sure watch.

Summary: 6 stars really
Review: Oh this is really a great movie...First off though concerning the previews everybody is complaining about. I had no trouble skipping them, but I have to say I was a bit surprised to find previews on this DVD, it is the first DVD I bought that has previews...but again, don't let these stop you from at least renting this movie...it is not the previews that matter, it is the movie right? This is not a horror movie at all, although it does give you the chills and it made me jump a few times but it really leans more towards drama I think. The scene with Cole and his mother in the car is a definate tear jerker...it worked for me :-). Watch this movie...it really is worth it!

Summary: Overrated!
Review: To tell you the truth, the movie isn't that great. The best picture nomination? I was stunned. What's wrong with the academy? I cannot stop people from buying this movie, but I don't think it is worthy. Rent the movie first and see for yourself. If you saw this movie once, I am pretty sure that you will not like this movie as much as you did in the theater. The movie is very slow, especially for the first 30 minutes. The ending is not that surprising, either. I heard that many people saw the movie again and again just because they couldn't believe what they saw at the end. Frankly, I wouldn't do that. For those whoe want to buy this movie, rent the movie first and see it. If you still like it, then get it. If I were you, I will wait until the price drops a little more. There is no question about the acting, though. A little kid in the movie was pretty good (deserved to be nominated). Yet, I cannot possibly understand that this movie made +$300 million dollars at the box office. Overrated!

Summary: Overall, this eagerly awaited release is disappointing.
Review: Hollywood Pictures has seen fit to include previews at the beginning of the disk. This is ludicrous and very annoying. Additionally, the picture quality on the disk varies from very good to fair, with occasional grainy spots and colors that lack definition at times (defects that were missing in the theatrical release). I am, and was, also bothered by the often considerable change in hues, from one scene to another though this is the director's fault but they seem accentuated on the disk. I always felt this film was flawed, a series of disjunct ideas that seemed, in the theater, to lack a central focus, representing a somewhat inexperienced effort from a young writer/director. There is no doubt, however, that the film became very addictive to audiences, for a variety of reasons, including the excellent cast. I only barely understood why Cole Sear is seeing dead people and hearing voices, and how he deals with this and explains it to Malcolm Crowe is the very point of the movie. One of the deleted scenes expands on this thesis, and its inclusion would have made the plot less obtuse; why it was deleted is not fully explained by the director's comments. I did find the sound to be excellent, with good separation and the atmospheric soundtrack by James Newton Howard is excellent. While the film is a neat little thriller, it falls short of achieving legendary status that "Silence of the Lambs" achieved.

Summary: It just sickens me
Review: I LOVE this movie, let me get that straight. But I was sofurious after I put in the DVD and I'm forced to watch all thesepreviews. Hollywood Home Video snatched away one of the joys of DVD; normally, you can freely choose to see previews or not without blistering your finger on the fast-forward button of a VCR. END

Summary: Clever story with too many holes
Review: It seems most people fall into one of two camps on this film. They either love it or hate it (it would seem that more love it). My sentiments lie with neither camp. This is a fascinating and clever story that is well filmed but poorly crafted. Plot holes abound and Director/Writer M. Night Shyamalan has to fudge all over the place to keep the surprise ending a surprise. In my comments here, I have commented many times on the dangers of writers directing their own work. In almost every case, the director lacks the necessary objectivity to identify and excise plot flaws. In this case they were glaring. So, I have a fundamental problem calling this a great motion picture. However, it was very well filmed from a technical standpoint and produced some excellent suspense throughout that kept the viewer engaged. The acting was fair to excellent. Toni Collette was mediocre at best as Cole's mother. She overacted in almost every scene and her chemistry wasn't very good with the boy until the last scene when he told her what her mother said. Likewise, Olivia Williams didn't bowl me over as Malcolm's wife. Bruce Willis gave a good performance, but he is out of his element playing the sensitive and self doubting type. He always comes across as a bit whiny when he tries to play nice guy parts. His forte is playing the tough, strong courageous type and he would best serve his career by staying with those types of parts. Finally, there is young Haley Joel Osment as Cole. He gave an excellent performance and was the linchpin that held the whole film together. He was very versatile in his portrayal of various emotions. He handled fear, playfulness, affection and anger with equal aplomb. His physiognomy was right for the part as well, as he looked very nerdy and self conscious, exactly what was needed for the part. I rated this film a 7/10. It was entertaining and it had real potential, but it was forced to be overly contrived and had too many flaws.

Summary: 10 minutes of movie reviews before you can watch
Review: The movie itself was good, but every time, and I mean every time, you put the DVD in a DVD player you are forced to watch 10 minutes of BAD movie reviews and they can't be skipped. We paid real money for the DVD, what do they think they are doing?
