Funny, Amazing, and Incredible

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2002)

I went to see Signs today and I must say that I absolutely loved it. I think that it is another great movie by M. Night Shyamalan and in my eyes he can't do anything wrong. He is such a great writer and director. To my surprise, this movie was more funny than anything. Joaquin Phoenix was hilarious as were the two little kids and Mel Gibson did another great performance and reminded me why I like his acting so much. There were a few more surprises for me too. I thought that there would be a lot more aliens than there were but surprisingly there were very few (which is alright with me). Also the trailer portrayed the movie to be more sci-fi than anything but really the movie is not sci-fi at all. If you like M. Night Shyamalan films I think that you will like this film. If you just want to go see a sci-fi movie about aliens you won't like this film at all. This story is more about the personal faith that people have and what it takes to gain it back after you have lost it. Out of a possible 10 I would give this movie a 20. I absolutely thought that it is possibly the best movie of the summer. It has some substance unlike most of the movies out right now. I can't wait until M. Night Shyamalan's next movie comes out.....he is a genius in my eyes and I'm so glad there is a director in Hollywood like him.
