Summary: Stop your Whining regarding the Previews
Review: This DVD was excellent. The movie was outstanding. For those who have complained about the previews, learn to use the chapter forward button. I had no problems.

Summary: Non-skipable previews unforgivable
Review: This WOULD BE one of the best DVDs on the market, except that the manufacturer added EIGHT MINUTES worth of previews to the beginning which cannot be skipped. For this reason I will never buy a DVD from this company again. EVER.I suggest you avoid this product.

Summary: Unique ending
Review: The genius in this film is the ability of the screenwriter to give a "pay day" at the end of the film that is so shocking and rewarding that it makes you want to see the film again and again. This has got to be the best "surprise ending" that any film has ever had. It's a triumph in storytelling. M. Night's next film is called "Unbreakable," which will star Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. The script for this new film also has a surprise ending. It will be a treat to see M. Night's follow up film.

Summary: Well made, mushy, oversentimental, "pretend" horror yarn
Review: Well acted, and certainly cleverly crafted this comes across as a slice of typically mushy, sentimental Hollywood drama that falls into that most wretched of categoried...."uplifting". It is certainly NOT a bad film, in fact a reasonably good one. Shyamalan has hit on a nerve and scored a bulls eye. His brand of sentimentality is clearly what audiences are yearning for. Check out the AWFUL tripey ending that the director fought to keep and thankfully had to drop. The film is littered with "touching" moments and is designed to tug at the heart strings rather than stimulate any fear impulses. It works, but as a maudlin, almost tearjerking story of mushiness. NOT as a riveting thriller or horror film Strictly for those people who do not watch REAL horror films. The DVD looks brilliant and is loaded with features. The previews that people are moaning about CAN be fast forwarded quite easily on all three DVD players that we use. However the SONY DVP 7700 had the most horrendous layer change i think i have ever encountered. The film froze for seconds, pixelled up and infact jumped about 40 seconds onto the next chapter. the other two DVD players didnt suffer this problem but the SONY certainly did.

Summary: One of the decade's best!
Review: Sight, smell, taste, touch, sound, and seeing dead people. In the '90s we've been constantly bored with horror movies: the Scream trilogy, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and so on and so on. Finally a horror film that gives depth to it's characters! This is just a great old-fashioned ghost story. What better place to set a ghost story than in Philadelphia? Every building has a history behind it (including young Cole's school). Any film that drops clues (the color red) and demands repeated viewings is worth buying. Haley Joel Osment (Cole), who may have the most lines in the movie, truley gives the year's best supporting performance (sorry Michael Caine). The movie grabs you immediately in the first five minutes and gives one of the best endings in recent memory. This is the role Bruce Willis will be best remembered. Also impressive is Toni Collete as Lynn Sear, the mother of Cole who feels so hopeless in helping her obviously torchured son. She makes triangle pancakes for him, takes him for a joy ride in a supermarket parking lot, and arranges get-togethers with the other kids, but she can't help him. Only Malcom Crowe can (Willis). But maybe Cole can also help Malcom. Only American Beauty was better in '99. Buy the DVD. Extra footage is very engrossing.

Summary: Loved the movie hated the DVD
Review: Everything good said about the movie is true, but I absolutely hated the studio forcing me to sit through the trailers at the start of the DVD. I will check thoroughly before purchasing another DVD from the makers of this one. I will not pay to be forced to watch trailers.

Summary: Solid Movie, but not an Oscar film
Review: A lot of people whinged about thisfilm not garnering any oscars (about 150 of them, all told, in reviews), but it really didn't deserve any. I'll gladly recognise that the little kid is way above the normal "go here, say this" 2-foot parrot style of most kid actors (diff'rent strokes, any other sitcom with kids, all Shirley Temple movies, etc., etc.), but he wasn't the best of the year by any stretch. It was nice of the Academy to nominate him, will probably make him feel confident to keep acting, but his performance was really a M. Knight-Shyamalan creation. Any Oscar for this movie would have to go for the screenplay, as it was one of the most clever of the year, but when it is in competition with American Beauty, it gets lost in the shadows. So get over it, enjoy this extremely intelligent piece of writing and direction with solid enough acting to carry it off, even from the somewhat stilted Toni Colette. The ending, by the way, rounds out the picture nicely, even if it isn't a huge "gotcha".

Summary: A Classic for all Times
Review: I really like the additonal scenes included in the DVD, although the extended ending was a disappointment. You simply can't go wrong with buying this DVD. I watched it 6 times already and everytime I watch it I still get the chills!
