Summary: Such High Hopes For A Terrible Movie...
Review: The one thing that disappointed me about this movie was that I went in there with such high hopes of it being a great movie. But I was really mistaken. First of all, the movie is not even scary. It is very boring and confusing. You hardly know what the heck is going on throughout half of the feature. Second, the other half of the movie is you laughing at the kids and how stupid and sometimes funny they are reacting to the alien attacks. The aluminum foil hats are a plus, that's for sure. And finally, the ending. Oh my God, the ending, so horrible. Shyamalan is so good at giving us these twist endings and leaving me thrilled. This ending blew up in my face and .... big time basically. I am sorry, I cannot recommend this movie to anyone. It was such a waste of money when I saw it in theaters. And the critics liked this one, doesn't that say something?

Summary: M. Kinght's Still Got It
Review: I saw this with my brother-in-law, 'the doctor'.
We certainly didn't think we would be frightened by some piddling PG-13 movie.
I'm glad to say we were wrong.
'Signs', the story of how one family deals with the horrors of a hostile alien invasion in rural Pennsylvania, is not a technically opulent film. It's more of an extended 'Twilight Zone' episode - but a very good one. What you don't know for sure is scarier than what you know. You're hiding behind closed doors, but the further along the invasion progresses the more you know those doors won't hold long. You think it might be something else, or that the director is trying to trick you, but in the end the trick is that it's exactly what it appears to be.
Sure the ending's a little hard to swallow, but it's forgivable when taken with the whole of the film.Good acting, nice cinematography, and minimal soundtrack make for good creeps. Denfinatly worth a rental, even if you've seen it already.

Summary: Check your mind at the door
Review: Like other horror movies (Most Movies) I had to check my mind at the door. If I don't I'll pick apart movies. Yes this movie has some problems, but what movie doesn't. I rate a movie on how it pulls me into the story. This movie did a good job at that. It has its scary moments as well as a ending that was to predictable. The ending was the only reason I gave it 3 stars. Worth renting to see If you like it before you buy. I'm thinking if I'll buy it.

Summary: If you go to a movie prepared to hate it, why bothered?
Review: There are people who feels obliged to criticise a movie for what it is not. And there are people who make remarks like "awesome" "excellent" or "best" only for movies with brutal violence, gratuitous sex scenes, offending contents or simply profanity-filled scripts. Now they could be two distinguished group of viewers, yet they could very well be one. But why? Because by doing so it make them different. It make them a part of the group who "dare to push the envolope". For them, a movie is nothing unless it is controversial, unless it is capable of upsetting the general publics one way or another. "Signs" is anything but described as above. It is a movie showcasing what a gifted Director/Writer could do. It also gives Mel Gibson, a great performer whose talents is only overshadowed by his sex symbol/tough guy image, a significant chance to show his maturity. Sure, it is flawed, and it's supernatural theme is indeed not everyone's cup of tea, but it is often misjudged for what it is not. Why does it have to make sense to a T? It is about Aliens, afterall. Unless you are one, how could you explain why they would do something and why they would not? It is the same as if I ask if human are so smart, why would we forget to take the keys out the door or forgot to turn the stove off? This movie entertains, as well as explore the idea of one man's faith being tested. For a movie lover who is willing to see it with a just mind and a unbiased heart, it never fails to deliver what it was made to. For those who think that you are too smart for this movie, why don't we see your name on the billboard making the next "Lawarnce of Arabia"? Grow up and ask yourself what you have done to inspire others to think.

Summary: suspensefully scary
Review: This movie was excellent and had me on the edge of my seat. Most people did not think this movie was scary but i did. It was so suspenseful that I couldn't not watch it. I am usually very critical when it comes to movies like this one. Most of the time they aren't scary at all but this one was and I am very pleased to say it was. It may not be scarier than The Ring but it ranks as #2 on my list.

Summary: Thought-provoking - a future classic
Review: There is something very special about a film that can remove your faith, give you a genuine and realistic scare, create an enormous amount of thought provoking, make for a very uneasy hour and a half and then completely restore you faith. Shyamalan has given us his best work. This film is both unsettling and heart warming. Although there are few scenes that can be heavily criticised, the general pretense of the film and the excellent characterisation make this undoubtedly, not only one of the best films of this year (2002), but also one of the best of the last 20. I cannot find a bad word to say about this film.

Summary: Terrifying! Honestly Terrifying!
Review: THIS IS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME! I WAS HOLDING ONTO MY BLANKET THE ENTIRE TIME! GREAT MOVIE! FIRST 15-20 MINUTES ARE BORING AND DON'T MAKE SENSE BUT AFTER THAT YOU REALLY START GETTING INTO IT! ANOTHER GREAT THRILLER FROM M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN WHO IS AN AWESOME DIRECTOR AND TAKES THE HITCHCOCK APPROACH BY HAVING A SMALL PART IN ALL OF HIS MOVIES, IN THE SIXTH SENSE HE WAS THE DOCTOR THAT ASKED COLE'S MOTHER IF SHE WAS ABUSING HIM
IN UNBREAKABLE HE WAS A CUSTOMER AT THE STADIUM IN SIGNS HE WAS A GUY THAT KILLED SOMEONE'S WIFE (ANOTHER PART OF THE PLOT BUT THIS ISN'T THE MAIN STORY SO DON'T THINK ITS A SPOILER) ANYWAY, CHECK THIS MOVIE OUT! IT ROCKS!

Summary: Shymalan has a good grasp of story......
Review: Shymalan is a great storyteller who has a talent for adapting it to film. This film keeps you interested all the way through, because you really want to know what happens. As well as being a great storyteller, he also has a nack for directing children. The girl in SIGNS who plays the daughter is amazing. Being a film student in grad school, I am amazed by how well he is able to get his child actors to understand their surroundings and the story. The ending left me a little unexcited but this was a hard film to end so I understand. Anyway it is worth the rent or purchase, all his films are.
