Signs

Pros: Flawlessly woven storylines, pacing, and acting make a great movie.
Cons: Sometimes Graham is so good you just wanna smack him.

Signs (2002) Written and Directed by M. Night Shyamalan. ”There's a monster outside my room, can I have a glass of water?” Bo Hess. That has to be in the top ten list of things you don’t want to hear in the middle of the night. Kids ...

Pros: Acting, Suspense, Thought Provoking
Cons: Special Effects

Synopsis of this Movie If you want to see a movie that is a bit different, look no further than this movie. Signs is a movie that was written and directed by M. Night Shyanalan , who was responsible for the cult classic The ...

Pros: Acting, plot, effects, interesting philosopical question
Cons: None

I first saw this movie while my husband was out of town. I borrowed it from the library and watched it in the middle of the afternoon. I was so engrossed that I think I scared the mailman. I was sitting on the couch during a particularly tense scene and ...

Pros: A couple of heart-skipping scenes.
Cons: Pretty much everything else.

Suspense flicks have never been my bag, but every now and then, I’ll watch one just to remind myself of why I don’t particularly care for them. This recent rental served just that purpose. Signs was a waste of time, and thankfully, it only ...

Pros: Acting, direction, score, everything
Cons: Nothing

When I stepped into the theatre that warm summer day I had no idea whether I'd be seeing something awful, or something great. Shymalan's prior two films had both been very impressive. However, the alien thing had been done about a thousand different ...

Pros: Direction; Gibson, message.
Cons: Climax.

One film that has, among many other things, united atheists and, um, non-atheists in agreements with its message is M. Night Shyamalan's Signs. Everybody I know, whatever their belief was, walked out of this film liking it and saying, "You ...

Pros: All performances are excellent, from the youngest to the eldest.
Cons: Conventional door

M. Night Shyamalan film Signs is radically different from any alien film than ones taken by Independence Day and Contact. By limiting the number of special effects shots and treating the film more like a horror movie than a science fiction film, he keeps ...

Pros: It's far better than the director's current "The Village."
Cons: It's more psychological than "Alien" or "Predator."

M. Night Shyamalan's (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) Signs is an atypical invaders-from-space movie that emphasizes character and thematic development over the all-too-familiar big-budget special effects extravaganza a la Independence Day. Instead of ...

Pros: Very entertaining and unique.
Cons: A little preachy at the end.

I decided to rent this movie even though a lot of people told me that it wasn't very good. I liked this movie more than I thought I would. I'm not fond of Shyamalan's pace for movies in that they crawl along so slowly I lose interest, however the ...

Pros: * Good photography * Not unmercifully long
Cons: * For a thriller, not very scary * For science fiction, not good science

This has to be Mel Gibson's worst. Actor's prorayal was unconvincing to stupid. True when faced with pending doom people often turn to superstition and introspection... yeah right. And the aliens... what a wimpy bunch. They can figure out...

Pros: Great horror film that has thought behind it.
Cons: None.

M. Night Shyamalan is a director who knows exactly what kind of film he wants to make, how he wants to make it, and what it should say. His previous works were strikingly beautiful and near-perfectly crafted. Could he possibly shoot three for three with ...

Pros: Gibson, Phoenix, Breslin, interesting story
Cons: predictable, unoriginal plot

I have to say that I first saw this movie with my cousin when it came out in the theaters. Why have I delayed writing a review until now? I have no idea, but I just saw this movie on DVD again last week, which will make it my fourth viewing. And I still ...

Pros: gibson did a good job...
Cons: bad climax, a lot of cheap shot scares... Felt like i was ripped off..

This movie is the the second cheapest movie ever made (second to Blair Witch Project) the entire movie is just surrounding one house, and a family... I felt very robbed of my $9 after seeing the movie. the climax was bad! and the whole story...

Pros: may please religious fundamentalists who also believe in aliens
Cons: should really upset everybody else for its treatment of science and its lack of logic

There are a lot of reviews of this movie already, so why write another one? Well, I was really annoyed by it. The plot in a nutshell: A former priest (Mel Gibson), who lost his wife in a car accident and consequently lost his faith, lives with his two ...

Pros: Excellent storytelling, character development, and mood.
Cons: Not long enough. I mean that as a compliment.

M. Night Shyamalan has perfected his craft in the making of "Signs". He has improved upon what were ...
