Why is this movie getting such bad reviews??

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2002)

*MAJOR SPOILER*
I am so dissapointed in some of the people who have reviewed this fantastic film.
First off, Mel does a great job in playing what seems to be a brain dead Rev. who has lost his faith after seeing his beloved wife die.His two children were beyond funny and i must admit, that little girl gave me the creeps. Now for the FX, the first alien seen in the video show on tv was very well made, as for the others, i wouldnt know, i was hidden behind my fingers the rest of the time. I will admit that there seem to be a few holes in the plot, but im sure it was ment to be like that.I have seen other reviews,such as bigbillyt's, who completely and totally put down this great movie.I have read many who question the fact that they left morgan's inhaler upstairs and ran down stairs.Personally i have to say that theres people don not use that little thing i like to call a brain. Now come on really, if there were aliens in you house what would you be thinking about?? saving your family's life,or running upstairs, risking your own life, and going to get an inhaler that would have ended up killing the boy, yes, if they had had that inhaler, it would have killed morgan. remember when the alien sprayed poison on him, is his lungs had ben open(complememts of the inhaler) he would have died from the poison, but because there was no inhaler and his lungs were closed, no poison got in, saving morgan's life. now, did you idiots think of that???The fact that they left the dog outside, the was a simple mistake any regular person would have made.. i know i would have done the same.Now, some have asked why garahm is a farmer as well as a preacher, personally, i dont think he really a farmer who sells his crops, i think he is simply a man who farms for a pleasure, and only harvests corn, nothing else(if you notice, only corn is in his frilds,DUH)Now why merill moved in is told already in the movie, he moves in to help his brother through the sorrow of loosing his wife (just like in full house)Now when garahm is told that his neighbor has an alien locked in his house, the only reason he doesn't get more information, is because his neighbor drives away as he is telling him, GEEZE PEOPLE WHY ARN'T YOU THINKING!!!!!
I am so upset with the people who have no taste for a well made movie, before they try to think things out and make sense of everything they go ahead and put it down.
The loop holes in this movie are great and well thought up. I have always been a major believer in the fact that everything happens for a reason.My belief in this exelled on 9/11 when my mother was supposed to fly to new york, but got sick and was forced to stay home with the flu, and then my belief reached its peak after seing "signs"The fact that there was water all over the house because Bo was odd ended up to be the weakness to the aliens, "swing away merill" was a great touch. the asmah attack was as well. all in all this movie was supperb and deservs to win and oscar. Great gob and major props to M. Night, Mel, and all the other great actors, producers, directors, and every one who took part in this great film!!!
