Signs Sucks

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2003)

M. Night Shyamalan is a one-hit wonder of the movie industry. The mediocre The Sixth Sense was interesting the first two times to watch, but after that the movie lost all replay value. Signs unfortunately has no replay value, in fact it has no play value at all. The film is hardly scary at all. The supposedly frightening moments may be scary to a 4 year old, but anyone of age that finds anything in this movie scary is out of their mind. One of the worst things about this film is the horrible cast. Mel Gibson does a good job, but Joaquin Phoenix doesn't fit his role well, Macaulay Culkin's kid brother is an annoying brainiac pest, and the little girl in the movie isn't cute at all - she's way too "forced" to act cute. The story line is garbage, and the whole "twist" at the end of the movie is pointless. Don't watch this film if you want to save your money.
