Rating: Summary: Signs Review: This movie will have you laughing one moment---then crying the next. Not to mention, you'll be hanging off the edge of your seat! The dvd has great features for fans of the movie and it's director.
Rating: Summary: Intense Fun! Review: This movie was not what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be one of those typical "scary" movies, atleast thats what the previews looked like. Its much more then that. You go thru pretty much every emotion and never get bored. This movie takes you on a great ride and leaves you wanting to see it again. Its a must see!
Rating: Summary: Must watch! Review: The movie does a great job of *slowly* building suspence and it is very, very scary. Not for people with heart conditions.
Rating: Summary: If Mel Gibson's in it ... it's bound to be good Review: Although a slightly different kind of part from what Mel Gibson's been playing lately (last time he played a farmer was when he was a young(er) actor) -- he still puts out a totally entertaining and engaging performance. In spite of the the one bad review...Anyway .... I highly recommend this movie to all folks as a "five star" good time.
Rating: Summary: What's the Hype! Review: Severely disappointed in this movie on all levels: acting, direction, story-line, the whole ball of wax. It appeared that the film sacrificed greatness by going for the deep psychological study of the characters and placing the story concept of alien invasion on the back burner. Also felt this was the worst acting ever for Mel Gibson. He honestly didn't look like he enjoyed making this film at all. Sorry to be so blunt, but I could barely get through this.
Rating: Summary: Shyamalan's Best Work to Date Review: The biggest mistake people can make it to see this film as a movie about aliens. From that perspective, this movie appears flawed an inconsistent in its logic. But, to see this film as a story about one man's struggle with his faith in the face of possible annihilation, transforms Signs into one of the most moving pictures of 2002. In signs, Shyamalan throws you right into the story, with little exposition, and relies on a sense of the unknown in order to create fear and suspense. But, along the way, he also develops his characters in a way he never has before, and that's what makes this movie so remarkable. Mel Gibson only adds to the experience with a tremendous performance.
Rating: Summary: DON'T miss out on this movie!!! Review: This movie is great, it's scary, and thought provoking on MANY levels. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes Mel Gibson, he provides us with another outstanding performance. And M. Knight Shamylan once again proves himself to be one of the up and coming directors to watch.
Rating: Summary: B Movie? Review: B quality movie? Nah. I agree that this movie is not what we all expected it to be. But that does not mean that it is not one of the greatest pieces ever composed! It is even better than the "sequel" to the Sixth Sense that we all were anticipating. RWA, I simply do not understand your accusations against Gibson and Phoenix. Both give outstanding performances; their expressions and reactions are very believable, and the children cast for this movie are absolutely wonderful! I can't tell you how nice it is to see some kids who don't act like their acting! Night is astounding. Every movie he pushes out gets better and better. At first I thought I was overrating him, wanting him to be good and in turn making him out to be good in my mind. But I have come to learn that if you do not at least appreciate this work, you are simply too shallow to absorb the beautiful overtones of this wonderful movie. Bravo, Night. Bravo.
Rating: Summary: A thriller Movie but without thrille! Review: How a great actor like Mel Gipson accepts a role in this awful movie.The film stars are five -Mel Gibson and his family-, or let me say the film cast because they are almost the only actors since the film's beginning to its end. At the beginning of the film, you will see Mel Gibson's children from the early morning, staring at the cultivated circles! what makes young children wake up in the early morning, staring at cultivated circles? And frankly I could not stand completing it to the end, so after the first 25 minute I skipped to the middle then to the end. I am sure If there is a competition for worst films, "Signs" will take the first place, and "The Blair Witch Project " will take the second place.
Rating: Summary: "Signs" spell out D-E-T-O-U-R.... Review: Is it me, or does Mel Gibson seem to portray a widower in quite a few of his movies? "Road Warrior" ... "Lethal Weapon" ... "The Patriot" ... and now, "Signs." Thing is... I own and would recommend ANY of those other movies long before this one. And it's a shame, because the "Signs" trailers enticed with scenes of a creepy-crawly, sleep-with-your-lights-on, sci-fi thriller. Sadly, what was delivered was a wishy-washy, oddly religious, pseudo-psychodrama that had just enough poignant moments to keep me from nodding off. I truly was anticipating more from M. Night Shamalayan of "The Sixth Sense" fame. But, perhaps I should have seen the "signs" in his last endeavor, "Unbreakable," which ultimately proved to be nothing more than a broken promise. Viewers looking for QUALITY macabre entertainment would fare (and fear) much better with the apocalyptic "Night of the Living Dead" (either the original or the remake from a few years ago) or the more recent, morbidly-prescient "Final Destination." Unfortunately for M. Night, Mel and company, "Signs" -- much like its aliens -- is dead in the water.
