Rating: Summary: For those annoyed by the endless trailers on this DVD: Review: For all who are annoyed by the endless, innane trailers on the DVD edition of "The Sixth Sense," wait for the first trailer (Mission to Mars) and then skip through them using the chapter skip button on your remote. As far as I can tell, this is the fastest way to get through them (takes about 5 seconds to skip through all five).I realize that promoting future and existing releases is a key way to market products to the captive audience that sits down to watch the DVD, but I really wish that sutdios would at least tout a classier line or series of videos (or in Disney's case, their animated classics). The stuff being promoting now will be long-forgotten (and likely laughed at) when I pull this DVD out in three years. This film is a classic -- one of the most accomplished thrillers in years -- and it's a shame that I'll have to be reminded of five clunky duds ("In Too Deep"? ..."From Dusk Till Dawn 3"? ) every time I want to watch it. Please, people...a bit more class in the future.
Rating: Summary: Instant Classic Thriller Review: Add my complaint about the studio "forcing" viewers to watch or jump through the trailers to get to the menu. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Otherwise, yes this IS the Thriller to beat All Thrillers. Owing a lot visually and structurally to "The Exorcist", dealing with the child psychic in a more realistic way than "The Shining" ever could, and presenting a much more logical revelation than the similar one in "Jacob's Ladder", "The Sixth Sense" is brilliant on every level of film-making. When was the last time a Supernatural Thriller spurred philosophical water cooler debates? (1973!)
Rating: Summary: bonus material should be viewed AFTER the movie Review: Those who have not already seen the movie should beware that the bonus material provided on the DVD divulges many of the plot twists that supposedly contribute to the entertainment value of the movie on first viewing. I regret that I happened to check out some of the bonus material before watching the movie - I stopped immediately when I realized that they were explaining how they did some of the scary parts (I am being deliberately vague to avoid doing to others what the DVD bonus material did to me) but it was too late, and I know that my experience of the film suffered for it. I also agree with those that complain about the forced previews at the beginning of the DVD. This is not a very good DVD production in terms of add-on material. Anyone who loves the film (and I can understand how they might)probably won't care about the forced previews, or the fact that there is no simultaneous director's commentary, and will probably buy the DVD anyway. Incidentally, the "extended" ending is pretty lame and is not reason enough to buy the DVD.
Rating: Summary: CREEPY AND SUSPENSEFUL! Review: The Sixth Sense is an AMAZING example of cinamagraphic art! This movie literally PULLS you in; right from the very beginning, with it's haunting music, chilling sound effects, and EXCELLENT acting! In the movie, a young boy who appears wise beyond his years, has a ghoulish secret: he can SEE dead people! Bruce Willis plays the part of the deeply committed child psychiatrist, trying desperately to help this boy with his disturbing "problem." This movie will keep you "riveted," and best of all, has a SURPRISE TWIST at the end that will SHOCK you! In my opinion, The Sixth Sense is a mystery thriller that you absolutely MUST see for yourself! (The DVD extras and interviews are interesting, as well)!
Rating: Summary: WOW Review: This is one of the best thrillers to come along in a while. Some other reviews mentioned something about being forced to view trailers, I did not experience that. The movie it self is fantastic, everyone kept saying the ending was a big suprise but even with that knowledge I was still shocked when I saw the ending. I did expect it to be scarier. The scary scenes definately freak you out but I thought there would be more of them, but then again this movie was not intended to be a horror movie. The extras are top notch. Thank you Disney for finally getting your act together, keep it up! The deleted scenes have an intro by M. Night, which is a great because we get to hear why the scenes were cut and the purpose of the clips. If you like thrillers then I would definately pick this one up.
Rating: Summary: My New Favorite Review: This movie has now taken its place at the top of my favorite list! There were several times when I nearly jumped out of my seat and even gasped out loud. However, a movie can not win me over for the #1 spot on thrill quality alone. This movie had superior acting, tear jerking moments, and above all, it delivers twists and turns that leave you putting it all together long after the movie has ended. I will watch this one over and over!
Rating: Summary: the sixth sense Review: 5 stars after the second time around.this film is best picture as far as i'm concerned.
Rating: Summary: SIXTH SENSE WAS SENSATIONAL ! Review: I am reader mostly of good ficion. Most films do not muster up to a good novel,but this movie did. This is a movie of exceptional storytelling. This powerhouse thriller achieves a runway victory on the basis of sheer storytelling excitment. Mr M. Night Shyamalan, the wrtier and director, wields this suspense like a stiletto. Night knows just where to stick it and how to turn it to grab you the audience. Bruce Willis and the boy, Haley make this ghostly film work. The ending to the film will show that Bruce Willis charcter is also a .... I can't give up the clues here, you got to go see the flim.The building to the end of the film will blow you away. I would say to any fan of a good suspense book, you should not miss this one. Mr Night should consider writing a novel.
Rating: Summary: Great story poorly told Review: I had missed it at the movies, many telling me how good it was, so I bought it on DVD. I was disappointed with the acting, although the story remained in my thoughts for quite some time. A great unexpected ending, too, luckily the director cut his most favourite shot out (see bonus material), it would have ruined it, as it was too much already.
Rating: Summary: Clever and Scary! Review: This film is extremely intelligent and has a creepy atmosphere that elevates the suspense. Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette deliver star-making performances and are very believable as mother and son, Bruce Willis also shines as Dr. Malcolm. But the real star of the movie is the craftsmanship by writer/director M. Night Shyamalan who wrote an extremely intelligent screenplay and added 'some twists and stuff' to make it extremely entertaining and smart viewing. Every scene is packed with clues and little details that make you come back and see it again. Tense mood and creepy atmosphere will satisfy suspense and horror fans. Rewarding. Extras: spot director M. Night Shyamalan in a cameo. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 9!
