Very disapointing

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2002)

!!!spoilers!!! I had extremely high expectations about this movie. Shyamalan had in my opinion made two great movies before and Signs were very hyped up when it camed to Norway. "Best film of the year, see it twice". This review was used for the commercials.
Then i sat down in the seat and was ready to be frightened and surprised. I was wrong. This movie was bad. It had bad actors (I hated the old Culkin and now a new one comes that I hate even more) Mel Gibson attempt to cry was pathetic. People in the hall seemed to think everything was very fun in the movie. Often people bursted out in laughter. I dont now know about you, but I dont think a stupid girl with the "metal-hat-thingy" was fun. And were is the plot? Why do the crappy aliens want to kidnap and gas us? They clearly didnt want the planet since it contains of 80% H2O? What if it rains? All the aliens would have died. This was just stupid. After 5 minutes I understood that water had something to do with the end. Why would Shyamalan use at least 20 minutes of the screentime about the girl drinking water. And we all knew that Gibsons character would become a priest again. And those 20 minutes with flashbacks had nothing to do with the rest of the film.
If not this movie is all a cover for a hidden theme or plot I will rate it 4/10. Comments on this are welcome.
