Summary: BORING! WANT A MOVEI W/ A GOOD ENDING?
Review: okay this movie was alright.the ending was not that big and i was not racing to watch it over again.Not Scary(only that tent scene),um i bought this movie on DVD i have only seen it once from begining to end.it was better in the theaters though,you say you want a movie with an unexpected and mind blowing ending? watch SLEEPAWAY CAMP(1983)the best ending in cinematic history.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Captivating and Surprising
Review: I purchased this almost on a whim. Although the movie had received a lot of aclaim, I thought it might be interesting, but probably not great. I was wrong. This is a movie I will remember, watch again, and show to friends. Knowing in advance that there was a "surprise" ending, I suspected that it wouldn't be much of a surprise. As the director had planned, I picked up all the wrong foreshadowing and none of the actual clues that were clear in retrospect.

The acting by Haley Joel Osment was extrordinary. He managed to make a difficult premise believable by showing you the fear in his belief. Regardless of whether he turns out in the end to be psychotic or gifted you empathize with his fear even though the movie will not have most people shaking with fear themselves. Bruce Willis turns in a respectable and believable performance and plays to the child well.

Unfortunately, I must agree with other reviewers who commented that the "mandatory previews" were extremely unpleasant. I am revolted by the arrogant and insulting attitude that paying customers are nothing more than revenue sources to be harvested by marketing. Given my low expectations when I bought the DVD, if I had realized it came with mandatory previews I would not have purchased it. Since I will pay closer attention to that detail in the future, it is very likely that I will not buy DVDs with this misfeature that I might otherwise have purchased.

Summary: Movie Gets 5 stars - DVD Gets 3
Review: There's only one thing to say about the movie -- "See it". To say any more is to say too much.

About the DVD bonus material -- director interviews, deleted scenes, et cetera. I watched the movie once then went directly to this material, which was great. But it spoiled the second viewing. Watch this movie 2-3 times before being tempted by the bonus material. Honest. I regret not having heeded this advice.

About the DVD and the preview trailers - I'd rather have paid 5 bucks extra, even 10 bucks extra to not have the preview trailers. The DVD Menu button doesn't work. The only thing that I've found that works is to use the next chapter feature so that all you see is the titles of each of the films previewed. There may be other ways to avoid it.

Brilliantly constructed movie. The best and worst of DVD in the packaging.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Film
Review: This was a great film. As a general rule, I am not a big fan of horror things, but I lived this movie, and all of the bonus materials on the DVD, especially the Hints and Rules clip, where they talk about rules they set up for the movie, for instance how ghosts interact with the world, and also where they talk about hints that they give throughout the movie to the ending, which I won't spoil, although I will say this: 1. It is surprising, and 2. When you see it a second time, you will wonder how on earth you couldn't figure it out while you were watching it.

Also... to all the people compaining about the "unskippable" previews: My DVD player (it's an actual player, not a computer drive) had no problem skiping them. ON mine, the "Up" botton (used in the menus for selecting the next option up) skipped the current preview. If it doesn't work on yours, live with it.

Summary: It was pretty good
Review: I think it is worth watching once if you haven't already seen it. I like some of the dead people because they were pretty scary looking. The movie itself is kind of funny. It seems to have the same tone throughtout the movie. The, I am really scared and there is urgency. This tone is in the characters not the audience imo. Half way through the movie the whole repetitive tone was starting to wear thin. I am sure some will know what I mean, some will deny it, some would have liked it. My brother loved this movie and the person I saw it with like it a lot so to each his/her own. I just thought it was a little trying at times because of the same tone thoughou the whole movie. I like horror movied very much but this was more of a thriller. It did not have the feeling of a horror movie, it was more like the whole movie was an I'm ok your Ok so we gotta stick together and help each other out between the young boy and Bruce Willis. I think if someone watched this movie more than once they would be very sick of the boy and his whining througout the movie. I can't believe how successful this movie was either, like some of the other reviewers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Sixth Sense
Review: The sixth sense was an awesome movie! I just got my dvd player and I watched this as soon as i got it. Haley Joel Osment was an AWESOME actor, as was Bruce Willis(I am not one of his biggest fans). This movie sets itself up as a thriller, not a mystery or anything like that. I was really moved by this film. Also, to you who have been whining about the "unskipable" previews, try using your chapter forward button. It takes you to the menu in less than a minute. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Pressing of a Terrific Movie
Review: The DVD version of "The Sixth Sense" is the one to own, in spite of the much mentioned 10 minutes of previews (which you CAN skip if you know how to work a DVD player). This movie has so many terrific things going for it -- acting, scripting, beautiful moody cinematography, score and overall sound design. There's hardly a false note here. And the DVD extras are great, including the "additional ending" (Night, though the edit was hard on you, you made the right choice!). Though I'll hear it for this one, "The Sixth Sense" is a better overall movie than "American Beauty." If you've not seen it, and have been lucky enough not to have had the ending revealed to you, you'll have a terrific, spooky time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Without a doubt one Willis's best movies.----Bad soundtrack.
Review: Ok Haley Joel Osment knows how to act and Willis also acted very good I'm buying this DVD I didn't liked much the soundtrack I think that this movie was almost perfect, good directing, good acting, great story but what about the soundtrack I think they should have had gotten someone like John Williams or Alan Silvestri or maybe even Danny Elfman for the soundtrack but still it is one of the best movies of 1999.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: chilling to the bone
Review: actually i seen this movie at the drive in.when i seen the boy with the back of his head blown out(not trying to be blunt)but when i seen it i cried and when i went home i was like really scared.this movie shows somethings that some people can actually do.even us "normal"people could experience it and to the fact that the doctor was dead made not alot of sence is that it like went over my head maybe a few others as well, but it was really a facinating movie.even i was puzzled at the end..truely cool!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Sixth Sense
Review: It is a very rare movie that can actually have you on the edge of your seat and straining your ears to hear all the dialogue.This one managed to do this to me.Horror movies have just taken a gigantic stride away from totally visual terrors. What a wonderful little actor this boy is! His fear is so real, so palpable, your belief in him is total. An exceedingly well crafted and written film; with an intelligent script.Bruce Willis is fast proving to be an excellent actor, not just a fast action hero. His interaction with the boy is sensitive and sympathetic.This film did not recieve the credit it should have done at the Oscars.It fully deserves the 5 stars I have given it.
