Very dissapointing

Rating: 5/10 (16 October 2002)

As someone who enjoyed The Sixth Sense immensely,but thought Unbreakable was nowhere near as good,i was greatly looking forward to 'Signs',in the hope that the director would be back to his best.How wrong could i be.The plot was so full of cliches you could be forgiven for thinking you were watching cheap sci-fi from the McCarthy era.Slow (maybe deliberately ? ),but failing to build any suspense whatsoever.The cast were criminally under used.All gave workman-like performances with what must have been a difficult script to work with.Phoenix's character was by far the most interesting,but,as the rest of the cast,was portrayed with little enthusiasm to flesh out the character. Overall,hugely dissapointing and the next time Mr Shyamalan releases a movie i wont be as hopeful,then maybe i wont be so dissapointed.
