Could it be any worse????

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2002)

I keep telling myself not to have any expectations when going to the movies because they never get met but I keep having them anyway. Same thing happened with "The Signs". I am an avid lover of horror movies and psychological thrillers and I was expecting this to be something extremely "edge of your seat" when, in return, I was laughing for most of the film. Yes, Mel Gibson's performance was pretty good but, come on, as good as "Braveheart"????? That's just a load of b.s. Even in "What women want", Mr. Gibson had done a better and more enjoyable acting job. Same goes for Joaquin Phoenix. This was very sad comparing to "Gladiator". I think the kids must have had a much better performance. Now, about the plot. As I said, I spent more time laughing than jumping in my seat which goes to say much about the horrorness of the movie...And that ending???????? That was the most pathetic excuse of an ending I have ever seen. It was one of those "I am a very low-budget movie with no money for cool special effects so I will just put a green alien at the end" types of endings....
I give it two thumbs down.....
