M. Night Shyamalan Still Hasn't disappoined me!

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2002)

M. Night Shyamalan has come to be one of my new favorite directors. His ability to create tension and suspense is literally amazing. And Signs is no exception.
I've read some reviews of this movie where people thought it was too slow or didn't have enough action. People, this is NOT an action movie. This is not Men In Black or ID4 (Blah). This movie is pure suspense, down to it's bones. Just like The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable before it, the pacing of the film is slow and deliberate. Shyamalan uses every minute of the film to build tension.
Overall, I thought the film was great. I'm now an official fan of this great director.
PS: When I saw the movie in theaters, there were a couple scenes where a boom mic was obviously visible. However, I think this might just have been a problem with a specific reel, since I haven't seen anyone else talk about it. Lemme know if any of you have seen this also.
