Third movie, second disappointment.

Rating: 3/10 (21 September 2002)

Third movie, second disappointment. Although the 6th Sense was terrific, Signs is terrible. Perhaps, one of the worst alien-story movie. Everything is so crystal clear, you know the end since the beginning, so to speak. Some sequences are funny when they should be scary (the men closing the door not in the good way...), the climax is very disappointing. There some elements of Fincher's "Panic Room", that's rather good but not very revolutionnary... Mel Gibson is very good, though. Culkin too (without him, the movie would be nonsense). But, the a-thousand-time-reheard story doesn't provide new element on the subject. I hope the director's next story won't fail again in trying to play with our inner-fear. At least, he should try doing a romance. I do deeply hope he wasn't the man of one movie.... Too bad. Just as Signs.
