Summary: The movie is great....DVD features....well uhm...
Review: I agree with everyone that this movie was great! No wait...it was awsome! Seeing a second time lets you realize that no one was really talking or could see Bruce Willis. The use of the color red was intersting and the music....totally riviting. Like the musical scores that made movies like the Mask of Zorro, Crimson Tide, Independece Day, Braveheart, Air Force One awsome, the same goes for the score on Sixth Sense. As you watch the movie, listen to the music! Listen closely and you will hear breaths. As for the extended ending, it was nothing special, so don't go thinking that perhaps Bruce Willis becomes re-incarnated or something. Deleted scenes are ok to watch, but nothing to get all excited for. DVD fans will enjoy this of course for the quality of sound and video.

Summary: Great movie, decent DVD package
Review: I have to say that I saw this movie for the first time on DVD. I had not heard the details of any of the twists and was pleased by how well the movie kept me engrossed enough not to figure out certain surprises.

The picture quality is excellent, with a great anamorphic transfer by Disney. The sound is good, although this is a dialogue driven movie without much deep bass or rear surround action.

The trailers that you must go through before the movie starts are very annoying and, unfortunately, a Disney trademark on virtually all their video releases. Whomever is in charge of marketing for the video division is working overtime and must be stopped.

The DVD also includes a documentary on the making of the movie which is a nice addition. ONE WARNING - do not watch the documentary until you have watched the movie.

Haley Joel Osment is fantastic as the troubled child, Bruce Willis does an outstanding job as the compassionate and guilt-ridden doctor, and Toni Collete is excellent as Haley's on -screen mom. See if you recognize her from Muriel's Wedding or Emma.

All in all a very good DVD. Now if we could just tone down Disney's sledge hammer marketing approach, all would be good with the world.

Summary: A great story line. However,...........
Review: The Sixth Sence probably has one of greatest, if not the greatest, storylines and plot for a horror movie. I was pleasently surprised at this knowing the past history of how horror movies turn out. Almost flawlessly, everything that happens in this movie works out for the surprising ending. Looking at the clues that lead up to the ending of the movie on DVD is a real treat. In the acting department, Brue Willis and the kid in this movie give a fine performance. However in my opinion, this movie has some big let downs for being a horror movie. Despite having a great story, the special effects in this movie are very cheap. They are only a few steps up from the speical effects that you could see on ghost stories from the T.V. series Unsolved Mysteries. The movie is also not the scariest movie of all time as it boost on its cover, in fact, I did not think it was scary at all. The movie overall appeared to me to be a little to short and should have had more sceanes within in it displaying the boy's gift for talking to the dead.

This is a good movie to see once or twice, but I think I would not want to watch it over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another awsome Willis Flick
Review: You've seen the trailers. You've heard your friends rave about it. You rented it at Blockbuster. Now you must buy it. Don't wait until the VHS price goes down. BUY THE DVD! Loads of extras!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Bomb
Review: This movie is the bomb. It is the coolest movie I have EVER seen. I love it. I had never seen Haley Joel Osment on anything before this, but from what I have read on the DVD he has been on many things before. He is THE best actor I have ever seen and he's only 11 years old. He has so much talent. He really brings the movie together. There's a little suprise for everyone that watches this movie, so enjoy it because it is probably one of the coolest movies you will ever see. The director is great and so are all the other people that helped put it together. When you are watching this don't miss anything. Thank you for reading my review.

Summary: Good Even Without the Surprise
Review: An intelligent film starring Bruce Willis. Who knew? The Sixth Sense is the rare movie that has the ability to surprise the viewer without seeming contrived.

Cole (Haley Joel Osment) is a little boy with a serious problem: he sees dead people. He thinks they are malevolent spirits that have come to haunt him. Malcolm (Bruce Willis) is an award winning child psychiatrist that is shot by a suicidal former patient. He takes on Cole's case as a way to redeem himself after the failure that was his former patient Vincent.

We get a glimpse of the torment that Cole suffers at the hands of his fellow students. I was never sure why he was picked on. We are just informed that Cole is a freak and we're supposed to believe it right from the start. The movie doesn't give us any idea of why the other kids think Cole is a freak. The only scene of him at school is when he goes berserk on his teacher. By that point we've already been informed that Cole doesn't fit in.

Malcolm is torn between helping Cole and saving his marriage with Anna (Olivia Williams). She has caught the eye of one of her co-workers and appears to be on the edge of an affair.

There is a surprise ending to The Sixth Sense that I won't ruin for anyone who doesn't know about it. It is worth the time to see this movie just for the ending. However, the bulk of the movie is not just a vehicle to get you to the end. It is a well crafted piece that would be entertaining without the twist. Maybe not a four-star but definitely a three.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: In the decade of bad scares...
Review: This has been the first movie that has almost had enough intelligence to scare people. Yes, other movies have scared people but those are older movies against older crowds. In an era of slasher films and gore splattered houses, we have a pg-13 movie that does the trick. They coordinate the music in such a manner, there is no way you won't jump when you see this movie for the first time. The good acting and realistic script give this movie a real sense like this is real, not acted out by people for money. M. Night Shyamalan has finally done his dream of making classic film. Bruce Willis has done a good movie with out having to kill people, although I doubt he will be able to do another. The sequence they show the scenes is planned and in a precise order to add to the suspense til the last frame, which leaves you in awe and a feeling that you have to watch the movie again, just one more time. After you watch this one several times, you may notice significant things, like the colors. An example that is pointed out on the dvd is the color red, red shows that something significant is going to happen. Not to spoil it but red is visible in all the key scenes. This movie is truly one to be checked out, how many horror/suspense movies can be opped for an academy (best picture). If you see this and disagree with me, find a better horror movie and spread the word, if you say The Blair Witch is better than this, I'm might just have to smack you. Check this one out, great two hours.

Summary: Totally unexpected, wonderfully unexpected
Review: What an amazing movie! I had no idea what was really going on and thought that it was all pretty straight-forward. Wrong! Incredible twist at the end. Looking back the signs were all there, but I didn't know what they all meant and how it was all put together until the very end. Very well compiled and edited. Worth watching over and over. I bought the DVD as soon as it came out.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Slow story
Review: Well I rented the Movie in DVD, I find the story slow and dragging only in the last part that you get into the story that's when Willis was looking and talking to he's wife sleeping on the sofa. as for the other stuff on the DVD well, I feel that the maker should have done more.

Please RENT THE MOVIE before buying!.

Thanks

Summary: Ok but not great
Review: Don't get me wrong, I've never seen Willis act better and Michael Caine was right when he said HL Osment should have got the Oscar. But... the script lets them down. I can't say why without spoiling the end, but it just doesn't hang together.

I felt like the crazy lady in "Misery" complaining about 1920-era matinee series - at the end of one episode the hero goes over a cliff in a train and it blows up. But at the start of the next episode he manages to jump out and escape.

The movie is good while you watch it, and if you can disengage your brain at the end you can ignore the inconsistency. But if you can't, you may feel disappointed.

This is a good way to spend 2 hours, but rent it - don't buy it.
