All in all a waste of time

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2002)

Here is M. Night Shyamalan's screenplay for his movie "Signs": Fade up.... "Look, it's crop circles!" "Look, it's aliens!" "Look, they are leaving!" Roll credits..... This film, while thrilling, is nothing more than a two minute idea stretched over an hour and a half. There are so many questions that go unanswered; even the basics like who, what, when, how and why are left untouched. This movie is chocked full of useless banter and conversation that has nothing to do with a single plot development, subplot, or storyline. I have seen worse films, but I have also seen a lot better. People who give this movie decent reviews are just looking for reasons to like it because they feel that they have to. M. Night Shyamalan makes us to want to like his work, too bad he just can't pull it off.
