Summary: Good movie, but lacks in rewatch value.
Review: This is a very interesting movie. The characters are beautifully played. The plot is certainly an interesting one. It's really more like a mystery than a thriller. You spend a lot of time trying to figure out why the dead are bothering this kid. You go through the same efforts that the psychologist does to figure out how to help him.Also, this DVD release includes some very cool deleted scenes. Often, the deleted scenes are deleted because they didn't add anything to the movie, but these were deleted basically because they added too much. They were cut for time, or because they "gave away too much". The director's commentary is also great. I give the special features of this movie Five stars. The downside to this movie is that once you've seen the ending or figured it out, it doesn't have much rewatch value. You may go back once or twice to find all of the "clues", but once you've done that, you probably won't want to watch it again.

Summary: Good composition of concepts
Review: The Sixth Sense, as with many of Mr. Shyamalan's films, is about much more than the plot that unfolds in the story. In the film, we see little commentaries of how some parents would rather catch momentos of their children than spend time with them, people in relationships relating the value of their partners with what they buy for them, and authority figures believing they have more authority than the people who have their eyes open. They don't distract from the story though - they are tightly and elegantly integrated into the story, and are part of the tragedy of why spirits may hang around after their death, denying themselves what lies beyond. In that, it is a complex film, but fortunately, none of the concepts interferes with the basic point of the movie. Great performances by both Willis and Osment. And great payoffs at the end of the movie, from both sides. Watch it and you'll see what I mean. A very well composed story.

Summary: I love seeing dead people
Review: "I see dead people."
This is the movie's stand-out quote. It shows M. Night Shamayalan's brilliance as a producer, director, and writer. He incorporated one of his childhood fantasies into "The Sixth Sense" and added some of his own ideas giving it a brilliant storyline. The symbolisms(ex. the color red) give it that added uniqueness. Shamayalan proves that he'll become the next Steven Spielberg someday. Haley Joel Osment deserved his Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role of Cole Sear. He expresses Sear's fears and trials much better than most other 11-year old actors are capable. This powerful performance excites many to discover his performances while he's growing up and as an adult. The rest of the cast is amazing: Toni Collette, Bruce Willis, Trevor Morgan, Olivia Williams, etc. Everybody, including Osment, has that special chemistry amongst one another. They provoke their emotions into their audience. When a character fears, the audience fears. When a character rages, the audience rages. These define the meaning of "The Sixth Sense's" storyline and environment. They force the audience think about the story elements rather than revealing them bluntly. This allows the audience to constantly watch it and learn new elements everytime. One may constantly whisper to their friends, "I see dead people" due to the movie addiction.

Summary: Misses out on the real sixth sense- Common Sense
Review: Again like any other movie, I was cajoled to see this film by the laudatory remarks from my friends.... my friends are stupid so that should of been the warning sign to their persuasion to see this film. Geez, I was bored to death! This film is not thrilling at all, I have to admit little Haley Joel Osment's acting is good, but not anyting to evoke me into becoming scared, not that there was anything to be scared about in the first place. "I see dead people" as little Cole eeringly says is not all what we, the viewer sees, no, all we see is a bunch of fake blood splattered here and there and bad makeup! The ghosts that make their little cameo are not gory or frightening at all! Oh, and Bruce's character suddens realization that he was dead the whole time seemed kinda silly.
Well, think what you like, but this film was not cut up to what all the hype was about: "It makes your skin curl!"
Ya, right, okay. Maybe my veins just run with ice, but the only evoked feeling I had at the end was fatigue.

Summary: Moving and powerful. Several cuts above most thrillers.
Review: No spoilers here--I will only say that this is a film that the viewer must watch more than once to fully appreciate and enjoy. This is a powerfully done, well acted and well told supernatural thriller that is several cuts above most films of this genre. Excellent performances, great direction, and a very creative storyline make this film one of the most impactful thrillers I've ever seen. Put simply, this is the story of a young lad (Cole Sear, young Forrest Gump) who possesses a terrible gift--he can sometimes see dead people--sometimes passive images, sometimes more than that. A child psychologist (Bruce Willis) tries to understand what is tormenting the young man, since the true explanation is quite unbelievable. But there is much, much more to the story, but it is not my place to tell it here. Sufficient to say that most viewers will be impressed and moved by this powerful and frankly scary movie. One complaint--the scene dealing with the deranged mother (no spoiler here) I thought was needlessly depressing and upsetting. Well, it upset me anyway, and has detracted from my enjoyment of subsequent viewings. Others may differ in their opinions, but that is mine. A movie that will hold the interest of almost all viewers.

Summary: I See Dead People Like Bruce Willis
Review: This is an awesome suspense film. It had some mind twisters that all fit together at the end that astonished almost anyone who saw the flick. I was impressed myself about the film. If you've never seen it sorry for giving away the end???????????

Summary: A Must See
Review: Definitely put this on your WISH LIST. I love the ending when it is revealed that Bruce Willis' character is actually one of the dead people that Haley Joe Osmont sees (Bruce's character was actually killed in the beginning of the movie). And all along you think that Bruce Willis is alive! So good.

Summary: Watch it until you really understand it
Review: A rather annoying display of stupidity is very common among Amazon reviewers. They are often inclined to reveal far too much information, ruining it for the rest of us. The Sixth Sense is a movie that's surprise ending could ultimately be decimated by a single careless reviewer. Fortunately, few of this movie's reviewers are dumb enough to blatantly reveal the ending, but some came precariously close to it. This widely acclaimed phsycological, supernatural, etc. thriller, as it has been called, is really a movie about faith. Although it is designed for people of philosophic values, it also uses suspense and chilling sequences to attract a wide range of viewers. If you are the kind of person who watches a movie and takes the whole thing literally, you can enjoy it but not even begin to grasp the subtle, hidden values about life, afterlife and making choices. I previously stated the movie was about faith. And it is. Not any specific faith or religion, but faith in your self as well. It could be enterpreted many ways. Here is how I interpreted it: The Sixth Sense seperates all people into to classes; those with faith and those without. Those with faith usually come out strong in times of crisis. This is also the underlying theme in Shamalyan's other film, Signs. I was dissapointed that the other reviewers seemingly failed to grasp the movie's underlying values. But now maybe you will. And if you like the Sixth Sense, I'd advise you against buying the Others, as it is a cheap rip-off of the Sixth Sense without the subtle messages. And watch out for them poor, misguided reviewers.

Summary: Wow!
Review: The movie with the now imfamous "I see dead people" line is actually a really good movie. The film is filled with interesting characters and a twist ending that will leave your jaw on the floor! I also have to give credit to Donnie Wahlberg who did an excellent job as the troubled former patient of Bruce Willis. I didn't even recognize him when I watched the movie the first time. All of the actors in this film did an excellent job. This film really does deserve all of the praise it has received! Check this one out!

Summary: Gives Hitchcock a RUn For His Money
Review: If you were coming to this film expecting a horror film, then your disappointment is understandable. I watched Mr. Shyamalan's work backwards chronologically: first SIGNS, then UNBREAKABLE, and now THE SIXTH SENSE. So in a way I approached this movie understanding that the premise - "I see dead people" - is not the theme, but merely a vehicle for the theme (in the same way that the alien invasion of SIGNS was not the theme). This is clearly one of the best pieces of filmmaking to come out of the Hollywood Slums in a long time. It transcends many of the cliches that have gripped Tinseltown. Shyamalan's technical brilliance and power of vision are so refreshing. He is a filmmaker to watch, the only filmmaker since The Master - Hitchcock - to wear the mantle. The performances are stunning. Willis and Osmet are brilliant together, as is Osmet's mother. The depth with which they portray their roles is evident in their eyes; each is willing to give the other the space they need to develop their characters, and the director skilfully moves them forward. This film isn't about ghosts, or gothic horror, or the undead, or anything else like that. It's about forgiveness. Well, I suppose that's the simple answer. But, it's a credit to Shymalan's genius that he is able to deal with such deeply human themes in the context of a ghost story, without falling prey to the typical Hollywood cliches (like "Ghost"). Night is becomming one of my favorits directors. His work transcends film and becomes art of a type wholly distinct, much like Hitchcock and Kubrick before him. It will be fun to follow his career! This is a masterpiece. Settle in and enjoy the ride.
