Summary: sixth sense = recyeled JACOB'S LADDER
Review: When I first saw this movie, I remember making a comment to my friend after the opening scene: "You don't think this is going to be another Jacob's Ladder do you?" Everyone had been talking about the movie and its knockout ending, but it became apparent almost immediately what was about to ensue. The sad truth is that this film is a complete rehash of the earlier film "Jacob's Ladder", from which is steals its structure and its 'knockout ending'.

Granted, Tak Fujimoto has done a superb job with the cinematography, and the look and feel of the film are superb. There are no over-the-top special effects, and everything that creeps you out is done in a very subtle and subversive manner.

My biggest problem with this movie is that I just can't give it credit for being a copy-cat film. It's one thing to re-engineer another film, but to do it and not give credit where credit's due is bang out of order. I bet Adrian Lynne (the director of Jacob's ladder) is fuming. Besides, could you really walk around for a whole year and not notice you're not getting served at restaurants and that no one is talking to you? Also, if cold air only comes out of people's mouths when the dead people are angry, then why does it come out of Willis' wife at the end?? Well apparently the director of this movie didn't pay too much attention to these plot holes, because he had built his film on the structure and ending of another, and that is all he was probably concerned about.

If this film had been original, I could have given it maybe 3 stars.

If you liked the movie, you'll probably like the extras, but lookout for the bit on how the story line was conceived. What a joke!!

Summary: Superb.
Review: The Sixth Sense has shown me that Bruce Willis isn't just a drooling, sweaty, tough-guy. His acting, and Osment's, are incredible. M. Night Shyamalan has written a masterpiece, with a great plot and a great twist. Even better are the extra features, which shouldn't be watched until after viewing the movie. The rules and clues segment is great. There's even a clip from Shyamalan's first movie when he was 12 --- Very Funny. This movie is great! If you have a DVD Player, it's a must have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: This is an excellent movie and I highly suggest. My wife got the ending too soon, and kink of ruined it for me though. :)

Summary: Let's See Dead People
Review: "The Sixth Sense" is probably the best film of 1999. It's a movie that tells the story of Cole Sear (beautifully played by Haley Joel Osment), a child with an unusual -and definitely scary -ability of seeing dead people that don't accept that they are not among the living anymore. As psychiatrist Malcolm Crowe, Bruce Willis plays someone who goes beyond his "Die Hard" character. The relationship between these two gives one of the strong points of this film.

Another strong point -and I believe Alfred Hitchcock would have been proud of it -is the twist at the end of the movie. It is very unexpected. Don't let anybody tell you. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the film, even though you may be in for some chills.

And since I am reviewing this movie on the DVD format, I've got to tell you that the extras on this edition are terrific, with deleted scenes, and some behind-the-scenes featurettes. Personally I like the interview to composer James Newton Howard regarding how he created the music to fit in the scary environment of the movie.

Buy it. You won't regret it.

Summary: Let's See Some Dead People
Review: I think master Alfred Hitchcock would have been proud of this movie. "The Sixth Sense" is perhaps the most thrilling movie of the last decade. Director M. Night Shyamalan presents us the story of little Cole Sear (beautifully played by Haley Joel Osment), a child with an unusual -and definitely scary -ability of seeing dead people that refuse to accept they are not along the living anymore. As psychologist Malcolm Crowe, Bruce Willis portrays someone who goes beyond his "Die Hard" character. The relation between these two is the strength of this film.

And I say that Hitchcock would have been proud of this movie because the twist at the end of the movie is something he would have probably made. Bravo for Mr. Shyamalan. But watch it! Don't let anybody tell you how this film ends. Enjoy.

Summary: WOW!
Review: This is the most intersting movie I have ever seen, it's not scary, but it is intersting and wierd. The acting is awsome, and so is the story. We watched this movie at school actually, I have never seen anyone so much into something like I saw all my classmates. And the best part, the ending, thats the WOW! part, damn it's a good ending. Well, this is one of the best films I have ever seen, and I was certianly not dissapointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the most interesting movies arround!
Review: This movie stands under it's expectations fully. It is a great movie with a terrific script. This is Wilis best performance ever and Haley Joel Osmond deserved his oscar nomination. Destined to become a classic. It's perfect.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I knew before the end
Review: While watching the movie halfway through I tolled my friends who I was watching the movie with, what I thought was the "Big Clue" don't worry I'm not going to spoil it for the people that haven't seen it yet, but I can tell you I was RIGHT. There are some obvious clues through out the movie. Further the movie was great, and I look forward to watching more movies by M. Night Shyamalan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie, great story & experience
Review: After watching this movie both in Video and DVD I can say the difference is noticeable. Sounds are clear and image quality is great. The extra content has some scenes that the director had to cut, and he explains his reasons for cutting them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth Your Money
Review: You no doubt have heard the buzz on this movie by now so i don't have to convince you what a masterpiece it is but what makes this dvd so special is the wealth of special features. The deleted scenes and commentary are great and add more insight into this movie. The making-of special is great and gives you more things to look for as you watch the movie again. Another great feature is the inclusion of a short film done by the director when he first got into film-making.
