Movie Review
Grade: A-
Steven Spielberg. Steven Soderbergh. Tim Burton. And M. Night Shyamalan? Though only known for essentially three films, M. Night Shyamalan is proving to be a name among directors, a nearly box office guarantee as sci-fi and non-sci-fi audiences alike flock to theaters to see his latest picture. Granted his movies have starred Bruce Willis - and now an even more marketable star in the form of Mel Gibson - but there is something about his name that immediately attracts attention, and it probably has something to do with a mild success called The Sixth Sense.

User Comments & Reviews
Pretty boring, by Adrian
January 26, 2004
This is one of those films where the ending is as obvious as the begining. The movie is called "Signs" and as such, "signs" begin to prop up during the film which draws to the conclusion at the end. What makes this movie so boring is the suggestion that God has sent aliens to earth and it is simply just a matter of fate.
As such, the aetheist ex-reverend, decides to relive his theology dream and become a reverend now that he doesn't believe it was simply a matter of luck that these signs are appearing all over the world.
This movie pushes Christianity as simply the only way of living or considering seriously. Obviously this is a flaw in it's self, as is the movie.
