The trend is down.

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2003)

Let's face it, Shyamalan's latest effort is below the mark set by his two previous flicks. The Sixth Sense was remarkable and Unbreakable was original: Signs is neither. Now, it is not a bad movie, it's just that it's below the Shyamalan standard that we now expect.
Strength: the cast, the cinematography, suspense, sound and light
Weakness: unbelievable, the ending (he couldn't use the flu to get rid of the aliens, for obvious reasons -war of the worlds-, so he had to settle for... you'll see!)
Overall rating : 6.6 Worth watching, but not Shyamalan greatest by far.
