A Titanic-like film, which is to say really over-rated

Rating: 3/10 (26 September 1999)

Let me begin by saying that Sixth Sense is not a "bad" movie, instead it is an average movie. The whole film was built ground up from the ending, and no film has ever made it so painfully obvious that the ending was written first and then a story was added to make it long enough. Also I have a terrible bit of information to tell everyone, Bruce Willis is really bad at acting like he cares. It didn't work in Armageddon, it doesn't work here, and it's not going to work the next time he's cast as a truly caring man. Though in all honesty if you think about this film in great detail you realize he does not care, and is simply incredibly self-serving. Despite all my personal distaste for this film, it is not one of the worst movies ever made, but it is nothing more than average. The plot is relatively simple, and if you go into the theater actually thinking you'll know how the movie is going to end within half an hour. The only real reason to see this movie is so that you can see if you can figure out the ending before the end of the film. After you've seen this once and seen how it ends, it is incredibly unlikely that the weak plot line will be enough to draw you back for a second time. This movie can be fun as a one-time mind quest to figure out the conclusion, but once you know the ending, this movie really has very little, if anything to offer.
