Summary: Well worth it!
Review: One of the few films I've bought without even seeing it before. I'd heard nothing but good things about it, and they were all true! I'd recommend this film to anyone, ANYONE, even if you don't like horror films. It's not really a horror movie, but more of a suspense/thriller. Very entertaining, and an excellent example of how this sort of movie should be made. M. Night Shyamalan has made a masterpiece!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is There Death After Life?
Review: Shame on you, M. Night Shyamalan; five senses are enough for me. It is generally considered an asset for a movie to make its audience identify with its characters. Ironically, The Sixth Sense manages to turn this identification effect into a liability. 106 minutes of this soporific snack and I felt myself among its ambulant spirits, mortally wounded and too bored to die. I'm not sure if any "suprise" ending could have resurrected such a corpse, especially not one that is all but dictated to the viewer in the first five minutes. This twist is so predictable that the movie defaults on its already meager build. In trying to create a mellifluous thriller, Shyamalan has instead concocted a metaphysics of melodrama where the stiffs embody the movie's false and tawdry animism. But at least the actors are easy to make fun of. Bruce Willis portrays his character like a doped-out android, and Osment, in trying to prove his character is not a freak, delivers his lines with the cadences of a nubile chimpanzee. All the ink spilled and all the hype spouted over this film bespeaks the paltry condition of American sensibilities. Buy this film and relish it, but you may have to answer for it in the hereafter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: This was a great movie. It should have won more Oscars than it did, did it even win ANY? Haley Joel Osment should have won for Best Supporting Roll, and the move should have won Best Picture. Sixth Sense has a very good story, and the ending was great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Mind Blowing Experience
Review: This movie blew my mind. Aside from the fact it scared the hell out of me, it was one of the more original movies I have ever seen. The ending to this movie was a complete shock. This is a must see movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Sixth Sense
Review: A great movie that appeals to anyone regardless of your age, sex, likes/dislikes, etc. If you haven't heard already, the ending is great and a nice change from the normal predictability of cinema. The best part about the DVD is once you see the "surprise" ending, DVD greatly helps in your search to review certain scenes that will make more sense in the end. The child played by Haley Joel Osment is a genius! You will not believe how terrific of an actor he is for that age.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great twist to suspense!
Review: Overall, enjoyed the movie! Never suspected the ending for those ho like a great twist! Sound quality was excellent, video quality was excellent, and even though you can fast forward the trailers, they should have been an option, not a requirement.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like fine wine, it gets better with age
Review: I liked this movie when I first saw it in theaters, but it was so hyped that I thought it was "OK, an average 3-star movie". By the time the Oscars rolled around I couldn't figure out why people thought Haley Joel Osment should win the trophy over Michael Clarke Duncan from "The Green Mile". When I saw "The Sixth Sense" again on DVD ... I remembered! His performance seemed more impressive the second time around, and it was fun to watch and search for "clues" after knowing the ending. This doesn't mean it's a movie for everybody! While I didn't find it scary at all, some people just don't like being creeped out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'll tell you what your missing
Review: whoever wrote the review asking why people didn't just fast forward through the trailers it's because my DVD player for some reason won't let you fast forward unless it's in the actual movie get a DVD player and you'll see

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I saw this in the theatre but had to leave before the end, which I've never had to do before. Obviously, I missed the unbelievable ending. The DVD was fantastic because of the bonus scenes where they show the scenes that were cut out and explain 'why' they were cut. The profiles on the actors, etc. were also great on the bonus selections. This kid should have won an Oscar!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Loved This Unique Thriller!
Review: I saw this movie at the theatre and fell in love with it. I bought the DVD the day it came out and watched it right away (a rarity for me). The movie itself was good as well as the cast. However, I was knocked over when I discovered who played the boy's mother-Toni Collette. I fell in love with an earlier movie she stars in - "Muriel's Wedding". Granted, she gained weight for the role of Muriel and lost it since then, but I didn't recognize her at all.

I was very pleased with her nomination as well as the boy's. I feel this movie should have won at least one Oscar. But, we know how that goes.

It is a good movie with neat "special features." Buy it!
