Great, but not as great as the hype says.

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2000)

So here it is. THE psychological/supernatural thriller of the new millennium, rewarded with 6 Academy award nominations. I expected a lot here, and got what i expected. A great, and sometimes chilling movie. I have to admit there were times i grew a bit restless while watching. After all, the boy was seeing things that other people couldn't see. Even we as an audience couldn't see. And it's hard to sympathize with this kid if we don't understand what scares him. But we got to see it about 30 minutes into the movie. The images presented to us were sometimes scary, as the deceased people the boy claims to see are in the state they were when they died. E.g. A boy who played with his father's gun, misses the back of his head. In the end comes the surprise you wouldn't have guessed if you tried. Which just proves how involving the movie is because the obvious clues to the surprise are there in plain view throughout the movie. To the people who haven't seen the movie yet, I dare you to guess the surprise even now i've said these things.
Sixth sense is a great, if somewhat overhyped movie. It's great, yes, but a classic? Will you remember it 20 or 30 years from now as most people remembered Psycho? I doubt it.
