Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2002)

Signs has to be one of the best movies ever made on extraterrestrial life! If you have ever wondered about life on other planets and believe in aliens, then you'll love this movie! I noticed a lot of bad comments about this movie on the site and was very surprised to read some user comments.
This movie was incredible, with some strong acting from Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, along with some other solid acting from the children in the movie. This movie has you anticipating what will happen next, and it is great as the tension and uncertainty builds up within the viewer as the movie progresses.
When we first see an alien on the streets of South America, that particular moment absolutely shocked me (along with the majority of the audience), seeing what appeared to be an alien sneaking around the streets in broad daylight.
This movie does a good job with how the aliens look, as they look creepy and strange, yet not as far out there as the aliens in Independence Day or Aliens look. M Night Shyamalan is a cinematic genius. This movie was actually surprisingly funny as well, providing some uplifting moments during some tense parts of the movie. This movie is also quite emotional as well at times, like when Mel and his family are having their "last supper" at their dining room table.
The ending is incredible. It startled the hell out of me. What else can I say, this movie has everything that I want in a suspenseful thriller. M Night Shyamalan again has made another hit movie in Signs. I watched this movie twice because it captivated me so much. So to all of you who keep giving this bad movie reviews, stop analyzing every detail of the movie and think about the overall effect that the movie had on you.
