Not what I expected (minor spoiler-info not in teasers)

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2002)

Not at all expected from Mel Gibson, but nonetheless a good movie. The teasers didn't reveal enough (which is good) and I almost was expecting a boring time but was surprised at the experience. Very emotionally filled, and keep an eye on the bat.
Because I'm typically bull headed, I almost didn't get to enjoy the show at all. A piece of advice (for any movie): Get there early, OR exchange your ticket for the next showing! Being frustrated at getting a poor seat can just ruin your movie time. Focus on the movie, not the lousy seating! :-)
Signs gave a new viewpoint to an old story. Not to spoil anything but stepping back gave the impression of War of the Worlds: the aliens attack, but are repelled by simplicity, not technology... and remember NOTHING (at least in this movie) happens by coincidence!
