Summary: The best movie ever!
Review: The sixth sense is awesome. It is the best movie. It's not that scary, but it is very suspensfuland really, really good. The people who gave this movie a bad review obviously didn't see the same sixth sense I saw. I don;t see how you could not absolutely love this movie. Everyone who acted in this movie showed great talent and that made the movie a million times better. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you have too! It was robbed at the acadamy awards because it should have won everything it was nominated for. This is the best movie ever made.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good casting, great plot
Review: I saw this movie for the first time on VHS, and found it every bit as mesmerizing as people who saw it in theaters said it was. The interview with the filmmakers afterward was a great bonus. The twist at the end is brilliant, but what makes it even more impressive is that when you watch it through the second time, you see that the movie plays absolutely fair by its own rules, and the established rules of the ghost-story genre. The entire plot makes perfect sense in light of what you now know. Like everyone else, I don't want to spill any beans, but for second time viewers, here's one more clue to watch for: mirrors. Keep an eye on mirrors!

Casting Bruce Willis against type was a stroke of genius; as for Haley Joel Osment, he is just amazing. Any child actor can play "cute," but he plays a character who is definitely not cute, and not easily likable, and wins us over completely.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of the WORST I've seen in years...
Review: There is definitely something wrong with all the reviewers who raved about how great this movie is. For one thing, the ending makes absolutely no sense when you go back and think about it. And I really don't think it's necessary to show a kid with the back of his head blown off. My advice: do not buy or rent this movie, because you will be sadly disappointed! I was. I really wish they'd redo the ratings system so I could give this flick 0 stars, because that is what it really deserves. For a great watch, get a REAL Bruce Willis movie. They are worth their weight in gold. You could not PAY me to take this movie.

Summary: The sixth Sense
Review: "I see dead people." "You mean dead people like in coffins and graves?" "No, walking around like regular people." This is a scene from The Sixth Sense. It is when Cole tells his secret, that he can see dead people that walk around like normal people. I would give this movie a 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good movie with a surprising twist ending. It is rated PG-13 and I wouldn't recommend it for younger viewers because of the images of the dead people. It is a good movie for older viewers. The director of the film was M. Night Shyamalan. He has directed the movie Wide Awake, which is a similar film. Bruce Willis is Malcolm Crowe in the movie. He is a child psychologist that was one of the greatest psychologists in his field. Cole Sear, or Haley Joel Osment, is the young child that Malcolm is trying to help. Malcolm's wife Anna, or Olivia Williams, also plays an important part in the movie. In the movie Malcolm wins an award for being one of the best child psysiologists. Later at his house, one of the students that he failed to help breaks in and shoots Malcolm and himself. The movie goes to the next fall where Malcolm has found a boy with problems. Cole can see dead people. He must help the boy out because the boy has the same symptoms as the person he failed to help. He grows very apart from his wife and they never talk. This all leads into a surprise ending. I enjoyed the way the movie all came together in the ending scene. I also liked how the movie was acted and its storyline. It is a good movie that keeps you thinking. I think that you should see this movie. It is a thriller that makes you leave the theater how great of a movie it was. It was scary at times, especially when the dead people were walking around. Some people say that it was a dull movie, but when you are forced to look at Cole's problem it isn't very dull.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite a ride.
Review: The first surprise that hit me upon viewing this film was Bruce Willis. Understand, I'm not one of those who have made a hobby out of belittling the man's career. On the contrary, I feel the guy has proven he has decent acting chops, despite his pedigree as an action hero. Still, when a friend explained the plot of this movie, and Willis's part in it, my reaction was, "Aw, c'mon." I just didn't think ol' Bruce could carry off the part of a sincere, angst-ridden child psychologist. Boy, was I ever wrong. His understated, rock-steady performance was surely a cornerstone of the film's success.

That said, the cocky, sarcastic public persona that Bruce Willis often puts forth serves to put the viewer on edge a bit: Will we see a flicker of some "Die Hard" mannerism? That, in itself, makes the choice of Willis nothing less than brilliant casting, as that slightly distracting element helps set the viewer up for later surprises.

Some critics have ridiculed the film for being overly sentimental. Hm. I just didn't get that at all. If anything, I found the sentimentality a bit understated, given the story line.

As for Haley Joel Osment, wow, the kid is so talented it's scary. I was all the more struck by the intensity of his portrayal after watching the movie a second time. A real key to the movie's success is in how Willis allows Osment to carry the ball throughout the film, and carry it he does.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The kid should have gotten an Oscar
Review: Not much I can say except WOW! Exceptionally intelligent, exciting, touching film marked by wonderful acting by Osment. Utterly covincing, and even for a jaded movie-goer like me (I pride myself on smelling a "twist" in a story from a mile away), the ending of this movie had my jaw flapping in the wind. Thoroughly entertaining, masterful story-telling by Shyamalan. I recommend all to watch this film, even if you're deathly afraid of thrillers and ghost-stories like I am. Well worth the chills!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Genius of a story!
Review: This movie should have won the Oscar for best movie and best screenplay. The movie has a surprise ending and is worth purchasing for your movie collection. Fine performances by the main actors of the movie. If Alfred Hitchcock were alive he would have killed to direct this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scary yet sensitive
Review: The Sixth Sense is seeing gohsts. A boy named Cole (Haley Joe Osmet) is blessed with this strange sense.Everyone knows he is wierd. He has to pay someone to be a friend with him and he never gets invited to birthdays. But not this weird. It takes an exrtremely talented child sycologist (Bruce Willis) to get it out of him.

With an extremely riveting ending this movie gets two thumbs up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF ONLY A FEW FILMS THAT CREEPED ME OUT
Review: "You know the prickly things on the back of your neck? And the little hairs on your arms when they stand on end? That's them."

This the line that The Sixth Sense should have been sold by. The Sixth Sense is a terrific horror film, topped off be magnificant acting by little Haley Joel Osment.

The opening scene is terrific, and you have to watch that carefully in order to understand the very clever twist at the end.

The Sixth Sense chills you to the bone and keeps you in suspense all the way through. The scary scenes are truly chilling, and I must admit I had trouble getting to sleep after watching it.

Out of all the horror flims of 1999, I think this and the Blair Witch are the best. The Sixth Sense has a similar feel to the remake of The Shining - watch that if you like this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Sixth Sense
Review: A 9-year old boy named Cole Swar (Haley Joel Osment) tells his psychologist, Malcolm Crowe, (Bruce Willis) that he can see dead people. He sees them all the time. Crowe takes the job of trying to help this young boy, because he feels like he's the only thing he has left; several months before he was shot by an ex-patient who also shot himself, and his wife would not speak to him. This movie is one of the best movies I saw lately, and is sure to amaze all of you with it's surprizing ending!

Warmly recommended!
