A big disappointment. A hundred miles short of my expectations...

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2002)

Signs is a quite boring movie...in fact, it's not even scary. Mel Gibson is okay in this thriller about a family living in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Pennsylvania. Suddenly, crop circles appear. Mel Gibson and his on-screen brother, Joaquin Phoenix, think its the neighbors' bad boys. Let's guess...could they have made those perfectly cut circles? Didn't think so. The rest of the movie could be described like this.... annoying children (can i get a glass of water? there's a monster...that line is just plain annoying)... long moments of silence ... driving to town ... watching the news ... and then the end is slow and does not captivate the audience. I would have to give this movie a 1 1/2 out of 4 stars.
