Pros: Interesting Story Cons: Screenplay and Acting
Without revealing too much of the story, I would have to say that this was not what I, and maybe you, would expect after seeing the trailers on this movie. I would even have to say that the trailers were a bit misleading in trying to attract a larger...

Pros: Nice performances, amazing craftsmanship Cons: Weak (though not fatally so) ending; meandering story
M. Night Shaymalan is a great filmmaker (note--I was going to use the word "director" here, but since he writes, and in the case of SIGNS also acts, I need a more comprehensive term). He crafts utterly wonderful little scenes and shots that might escape...

Pros: Graphics and complete story line. Cons: I`m usually good at finding bad things about movies but this one stumped me.
Crop circles have created a enormous amount of questions throughout the world. Mr. Shyamalan has created an amazing and somewhat believable story based on his opinion.
I went to this movie thinking it would just be one that gave me...

Pros: A few scary moments Cons: The rest of the moments
Bottom line here up front: this movie should not have marketed itself silly. It just created another scenario of hype over reality. Had they sorta kept it silent and undercover, I might have appreciated it more. But the hype was out of control and...

Pros: Very entertaining and unique. Cons: A little preachy at the end.
I decided to rent this movie even though a lot of people told me that it wasn't very good. I liked this movie more than I thought I would. I'm not fond of Shyamalan's pace for movies in that they crawl along so slowly I lose interest, however the ...

Pros: M. Night, Suspense Cons: Not his usual work
I love movies about aliens. I even love movies that are not that good, but still they have aliens. I love M. Night's movies and that is why I can not believe that this movie came from him. Let's first talk about the movie and then I will get into why I...

Pros: Wonderful portrayal of how people would really act in such a situation. Cons: The ending and the aliens themselves.
The religious overtones.

I had so wanted to see Signs when it was in the theaters but...

Pros: Early scenes that had a "Birds"-like feel; good cinematography Cons: An endless, preachy buildup to...nothing; horrible vanity cameo by director
They sure do ask you to swallow alot in the movies these days, don't they? And I feel pretty generous in that I usually oblige with my suspension of disbelief. But sometimes they take it too far.
"Signs" is one of those times. Not being a member of...

Pros: Cast, story, appearance of realism. Cons: A little long, some roads lead to no where.
You have large geometric shapes the size of a football field in your crop. You see a strange figure on the roof of your house. Your dog is acting very odd. Your kids are sitting in the bedroom wearing tin foil on their heads in the shape of dunce...

Pros: Great suspense and very thought provoking Cons: None of which to speak surprisingly, Gibson's best flick to date
After opening weekend of the box-office movie "Signs", the figures were what had been expected. However, after sifting through some of the various opinions here on Epinions, I have discovered that the public is very divided on their thoughts about the...

Pros: Well acted, thought provoking, some genuinely spooky and disturbing moments Cons: to believe, or not to believe? some may scoff at the story...
I have something to confess....there are two things about this movie that immediately caught my interest. One, the film was made in and around a town less than a half hour from where I live. Second, it deals with apocalyptic, end-of-the-world fears,...

Pros: Mel Gibson, visual effects, adorable little girl, funny moments Cons: Ending can be stronger
This film is not for the faint of heart. There were moments where the many of the audiences jumped, *laughs* myself included. If you're looking for a good summer date film, listen to its marketing gimmick of "do not see it alone".
M. Night...

Pros: Great plot; well executed acting Cons: not going to be a sugar coated pill for some
Mel Gibson has more than a few problems on his hands in the new film "Signs." Writer-director M Knight Shyamalan of "Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable" fame leads his cast on a merry chase as they try to determine the origin of creepy circles being made in...

Pros: Excellent storytelling, character development, and mood. Cons: Not long enough. I mean that as a compliment.
M. Night Shyamalan has perfected his craft in the making of "Signs". He has improved upon what were ...
