I didn't really like Sixth Sense....

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2001)

Am I the only person who didn't think the Sixth Sense was that great? It was all smoke and mirrors; made to trick you into thinking something different from the painfully obvious truth was going on. This movie, on the other hand, is brilliant from frame 1. The way the shots are framed, the completely accurate references to comic books (yes, I AM a comic book fan), the journey the characters take, its all very well developed. Some complain this movie is too slow. I found it completely engrossing. OK, maybe the last 2 seconds of the film were lame, but its 2 seconds, and its teletype (don't worry, I didn't spoil anything. "OH MY GOD! TELETYPE! YOU JUST RUINED IT!") At any rate, I found it brilliantly acted, AMAZINGLY directed (M. Night stays away from "tricks" this time like random redness), and definitely a movie to watch two or three times.
