Remember the story about the Emperor's new clothes?

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2002)

Remember the story about the Emperor's new clothes? Well, there is is a direct parallel between that story and M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs". While Mr. Shyamalan has been declared the "Next Spielberg" this movie hardly lives up to the hype. Though, there are some moments of humor and suspense in this sci-fi movie, it is very slow, plodding and it does not make much sense.
Never have I seen a director do so little with so much (money, fine actors, and studio support). Anyone who objectively looks at Mr. Shyamalan's work will notice that his movies are getting worst, not better. There, I said it out loud, the emperor is not wearing any clothes!
