Unremittingly dreadful.

Rating: 2/10 (30 October 2013)

Shyamalan must be the most overrated and over-financed director in film today. Apart from Sixth Sense, his films range from awful to bad. Signs is no exception.
The writing is amateurish, predictable and cloying. The conflicts are superficial, the character flaws and inevitable redemption are hollow and contrived.
And the menace, the alien menace, is laughable. Two dimensional characters, they might as well be zombies or simple thugs.
They have traveled across the vastness of space, to a planet whose surface is composed mainly of water. They cavort naked around in the humid air, through dew damp fields of corn, barefoot on the damp ground. They fly space ships but dig in the wet soil with their hands and.... buh buh buh baaaaaa!!!! THEY ARE KILLED BY WATER.
I'm melting! Signs is an example of how not to make movies. But you had to encourage Shyamalan and look what it got us, a raft of the most dreadful and over budgeted films ever crapped out by a human.
Shameful.
