Signs was great!!!

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2002)

I went to see signs last night and wanted to wait a day before commenting on this movie. I wanted to see if my feelings would change after letting the movie and its message stew in my brain for 24 hours. At this time, I can say with 100% certainty that I REALLY! enjoyed this movie. I loved it last night and I still love it today.
M. Night has once again displayed his tremendous gift for presenting a very intelligent story with a twist at the end. Unbreakable is still my all time favorite, but Signs sits on the same level as Sixth Sense as they both tell a chilling yet entertaining tale of faith and spirit.
I went into this movie, intentionally unprepared. I had avoided as many trailers as possible, did not read any reviews or interviews with the cast. I knew it involved a crop circle and a scary moment with Gibson at night in a cornfield. I just let the film flow over me like a wave, and enjoyed every minute of it. It was scary when it was supposed to be, it was funny when it needed to be. The unintentional or intentional references to other films (like war of the worlds, etc.) was done only when it was appropriate to the story itself.
I believe that the only people who will be disappointed in this movie are sci-fi fans who were hoping for a knock down drag out alien action movie full of amazing special effects. To these people I say, if you go into an M. Night movie with a pre-conceived notion, you are setting yourself up for a fall.
This writer/director/producer/actor is all about making you think during a movie, and making you question yourself. I recommend this movie to anybody with an open mind.
