Summary: A movie for a thinker
Review: I loved this movie. Like the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, clues were given all along the film leading you to a final discovery. This was more difficult to figure out all of the clues on the first watching. I reccommend this move more than any that has been released in 2002. It is wonderful. Mel Gibson is great in this movie as he is in all of his movie, but this one had a unique tone to it. Watch it you will love it and want to see it many times over.

Summary: M. Night does it again!
Review: If you have ever seen any of the masterpieces written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, then you will not be disipointed with this one. Much of Shyamalan's story telling, unbelievable spuspensefull camera work, and his talent for bringing a moral to each of his movies, is clearly presented in this movie. Some people have critizied his works in the past, esp. Unbreakable for it's downfall in the box office. If people really cared about movies, and the art laid within them then negative remarks would be out of the question when it comes to Shyamalan's works. I say this because most people go to movies just for pure entertainment. There are those that go not for just entertainment, but also for the pleasure in experiencing facinating art at work. Shymalan ties, spiritual healing, an alien invasion, and unbelievable sight and sound into Signs. Now keep in mind that with any sci-fi adventure things seem silly and sometimes rediculous, but it is science ficition and it all comes with the package. My final coments, if you love movies for the art they are, then by all means get this dvd and Shymalan's other movies on dvd, they are a must have for any fan of good sound suspense movies.

Summary: Good Sci-Fi movie......for the 60's
Review: I just watched the movie, and for me it looks like a 'good' episode of the old series 'The Outer Limits', the original one.

I cannot accept the fact that nobody pulls out a gun against the aliens. Unreal in rural America. The writer does not understand the American way of thinking.

That is all I can say.

Summary: I'm very twisted on what type of review to give this movie..
Review: OK first off I am going to buy this when it comes out, which makes up the first part of the strange situation this movie puts me in when thinking back about it. The plot drove me up the wall, the simplistic breakthrough at the end to take care of the alien situation was lets just say idiotic. I'm sure that with the care the aliens put in making the crop circles and every other aspect of their behavior they would have know about something like what prooved to be their downfall. Also the fact that the aliens were either so brave or so dumb to get out of their crafts to wage hand-to-hand combat with us? Isn't that an other potential way of ultimate defeat? Enough said about the alien part of the plot, taking the other non alien parts of the movie and ultimately tying them all together was a good idea, flawed, but a good idea in the least. The movie was also entertaining since it kept you on the edge of your seat, it let you to see what an alien invasion might feel like if you and your family had to live through it. Not everyone is able to fly a fighter plane to take out the alien menace like what happens in "Independence Day". So therefore if you can put up with some major holes and just want to be entertained than this is a great movie to get. If you are the type of person that just anaylizes everything you watch then avoid it like the plague. I guess my whole problem was I went in expecting an intellecual thriller and in the end just got a thriller.

Summary: Tired of ignorant viewers
Review: I would have to say that I am dissappointed at someone who would say that Shyamalan has been going down- when he has actually been going up- improving on each new film that he does. Why does everybody think that The Sixth Sense was his masterpiece?? Because it was the most commercially successful. While the Sixth Sense was a very good film, it is definitely not Shyamalan at his absolute best- which I think right now lies within Signs- which is a film that covers issues of faith and reality and so much more. What I also don't understand is the negativity towards Unbreakable. That is a brillant film and completely undeserving of any negativity. Maybe its because Shyamalan refuses to conform to the Hollywood "formula" that has everyone only holding The Sixth Sense as his masterpiece film. Also for those who would call Signs corny obviously didn't understand it and get bored at films that don't include giant bombs and bombastic plots.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great film this guy needs to do commentary some time
Review: Signs, Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, all packaged and containing great M. Night Shyamalan films. But where is the director commentary?

This guy likes to talk. We can see that on the extra stuff on the Sixth Sense DVD. So WHY not give some really good commentary on at least ONE DVD?

It makes me want to download and not ever buy a DVD of his. He owes us.

Summary: Scary! Spooky! Excellent!
Review: Jeff Shannon from amazon.com is wrong, this is NOT a "B" movie. Written so that you see the alien invasion through the eyes of a rural family, it gives you a sense of how it really might be for the average person. You could almost picture yourself in their place. What a welcome change from futuristic, governmental or hero shoot-em-up alien movies. It makes you laugh, cry, and almost pee your pants. What more could you ask for? An excellent film!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scary!
Review: No movie has ever scared me. Had me on the edge of my seat until it was over, yes, but after seeing this movie I was scared for weeks. I refused to look at a dark TV or look at the neighbor's roof at night. ;) Maybe you think it's a silly reaction, but thank you Mr. Shyamalan for finally scaring me!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best
Review: In my opinion this is one of the best movies made in 2002. Althogh the plot dose have a few holes that defy logic, it is overcome by the acting, directing and overall message of the movie. I love the way Shyamalan directed this film. It reminds me of Hitchcock, since most of the suspence is brought on by sounds, scene and the acting of the actors. The aliens are only actually shown a few times and always out of focus, yet a lot of the scenes are scary and suspensful just by the atmosphere and sound effects Shyamalan creates. But the aliens are just a secondary story line....Theres a deeper message in the story and like the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable it all comes together at the end and you finally understand everything.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very good movie but not scary
Review: I went and saw Signs and thought it was going to be scary but wasn't that scary to me but alot scary to others and my friends so it was a very good movie but not very scary.
