Summary: Great Movie
Review: This is a really good movie. It's not too scary but has its screams. The ending is not what you expect. All of friends have watched it and agree that it is a can't miss movie. Having Bruce Willis in it makes it even better. Definetly rent this one the next time you are at the video store

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Sixth Sense Takes a Stab at Your Five
Review: So, I knew the surprise ending almost from the beginning, but this was probably due to viewer awareness brought on by hype about the twist ending. At this point, I would bet that many first-time watchers will guess the ending. But, I wouldn't let that stop you from watching. This package is more than the delivery at the end. The whole trip is so expertly planned that it should be hard to be disappointed when the still intreaging destination is finally reached.

Most everyone already knows that the little boy in this movie sees ghosts. "They don't know they are dead", he says, "They only see what they want to see." Most everyone knows that the kid playing the part (Haley Joel Osment) got great reviews. If you doubt the reviews on this score, you need to watch the movie. Personally, the only reason I wasn't too disappointed that the sprite didn't win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor was that the award went to the incredible Michael Cain.

The movie has the right texture and shading throughout. It keeps you in the mood, even when it moves at a languid, dream-like pace. The scary scenes are made more so by their unannounced and rather simple entrance onto this background. The director was using a bit of long overdue restraint (in Hollywood that is) in presenting the more frightening scenes. From my perspective, it enhanced the effect.

The cast was overall great in this film. Willis' portrayal of the psychiatrist as restrained, somewhat removed, and at times almost dazed and vaguely confused, works the plot like a good mule works the ground. There won't be any trumpets for it, but the furrows are straight and deep, and the job well done. And, in the end, if the healthy crop comes in, that is where it all started. The performance is more easily appreciated the second time around.

The most impressive part of this film was the intensly moving way it portrayed this child's fear. Hopefully, most children don't really see ghosts. But their fear can be just as breathlessly real, just as terrifying, and to them, just as unexplainable and difficult to justify as is the character's fear in this film.

I wouldn't call this film great. A great film I can't forget or stop thinking about for weeks. But, it is very good. If I were to criticize the film I suppose that I would have to say that it did tie up neatly on all corners in the end. However, I actually prefer a film of this type that neatly finishes. To be bluntly honest, I don't really go to movies, rent, or buy videos much to expose myself to huge doses of reality. Mostly, I find that reality is free, and I don't particularly want to be always laying down the bucks to get smacked up-side the head with yet another pointless dose of it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This was a hit?
Review: Hard to believe people actually flocked to see this "horror" film. It's NOT scarry! It's boring and depressing! The kid who"sees" dead people is neither likable or sympathetic and Willis also gets annoying.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good ¿ but not quite as good as its reputation
Review: »The Sixth Sense« is a thrilling movie. An emotional movie. A moving movie. Kind of even a philosophical movie.

Although it is pretty predictable, and the story brings no surprises and no side-plots, it is well-told and very well filmed. And the boy plays absolutely brilliant! A great up and coming talent!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nothin' to write home about
Review: Basically, I think this is one of the most overrated movies ever made. Yeah, it has a cool ending and it's a good movie to watch, but it didn't deserve NEARLY the recognition that it recieved. If you want a dramatic movie with a twist, this is it. But if you are watching this movie for all the hype it has recieved, you will be really disapointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite simply, my favorite movie.
Review: I saw this movie as soon as it was released. I believe it is best appreciated on the wide screen, but owning the video for me was an inevitability. I had never seen the same movie twice in a theater before. After all, why pay to see a film again if you've already seen it? I saw The Sixth Sense five times! The eerie atmosphere and music, the excellent acting, and the incredibly written script, and the twist at the end combine to make this a very satisfying experience. The story creeps under your skin and stays there long after the movie is over. I was never a fan of Bruce Willis before, but his performance in this film is perfect and has made me a fan. Every actor is well-cast, but without Haley Joel Osment the film may not have been as successful. Writer/diector M. Night Shyamalan found the just the right person to play this part, and drew out of him the best performance of his young career. Shyamalan will be the next Spielberg for sure, as this is the best writing I've encountered in a script in a while. (It should be, since he was paid over 2 million dollars for it.) His previous movie, Wide Awake, while not as good as Sixth Sense (or even in the same vein) is worth watching as well. Do yourself a favor and see The Si×th Sense if you haven't already!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly A Masterpiece!
Review: The Sixth Sense is truly a work of art. It is terrifying yet heartbreaking at the same time. Bruce Willis' best work yet, who, in my opinion, should have been nominated for an Oscar. Haley Joel Osment was undoubtedly robbed of the Academy Award for his rivetting portrayal of a child who sees dead people. Even Toni Collette should have won Best Supporting Actress for her sentimental turn as the mother of the tortured son. It will remain one of the best thrillers of all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pure Genius
Review: Quite simply this is the best film I have seen in years, M. Night Shyamalan should be commended for such an act of pure genius, and equally Haley Joel Osment for delivering such a brilliant performance for one so young. Never have I waited in such anticipation for a video to be released. I was stuck to my seat throughout and left the cinema thinking WOW I must see that again, so I started queing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Marvelous!
Review: This movie, besides "Titanic," is one of the best I have ever seen. The end completely blew me away. For all of you peoples out there who missed this in the movie theater, this is a must-see movie! Go out and buy or rent it today!
