Amazing, Excellent Film

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2000)

I saw this movie right after the Academy Awards. During the Oscars, I knew it wouldn't win best picture. I thought it didn't stand a chance. Before I saw it, I thought it looked like a lame Bruce Willis movie. Not scary at all, but interesting. When I finally saw it, I thought totally different. Before seeing it, I thought it was the last to be given the Oscar for Best Picture. Now, I think it totally deserved to win. It was scary, complicated but easy to understand after some thinking, and simply brilliant. Everybody's making a fuss about the great kid actor Haley Osment, when I think this was definitely the best performance ever by Bruce Willis. The only thing this film lacked was length. I thought it was way too short. All in all, this movie was sad, scary, interesting, and terrific. The only thing it didn't have was comedy. 9 1/2 of 10.
