So good I saw it twice

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2002)

Yes, I saw the movie twice within the period of a week.
My first thoughts after the movie were along the lines of "good movie, yet some things could have been improved on" when I saw it the second time, I took into consideration the great camera work and other small details that really made Signs come together (when seeing a movie for the first time, one doesn't usually sit down and analyze it for its true meaning). I wont sit here and tell you what I think the deep down hidden plot of the movie was, nor will I talk about a such and such scene where Mel Gibson does such and such with his kids. I will say that this movie is great, not quite as scary as The Sixth Sense, but I believe Signs wasn't intended to be a knock off of The Sixth Sense.
To sum the movie up in a nutshell (ah what a clichÃ© that is): A small town farmer finds a crop circle in his backyard (yeah we saw that in the preview). Mel plays a single father (wife died) who lives with his two --surprisingly smart for their age-- kids, and aliens stop by for a cup of tea. That is all that can be safely said about this movie, other than "go see it!"
Will you like this movie? Well that depends how you enter the theater, if you are a Sci-Fi horror buff like myself then you will enjoy the movie, if you liked the "makes you think" aspect of The Sixth Sense, then you will have no problems sitting through this movie, and leaving with an intrigued look on your face. I will say one more thing before I go, Signs had me thinking "how in the heck are they going to end this movie?" which is a very good way to keep the audience attentive, and involved in the show.
