Pros: nice plot, good acting Cons: it isn't scary
I guess it could be me, but I don't understand why they label this movie under the horror section. It isn't SCARY at ALL! I mean, it has its good points, but there isn't anything frightening about it. Maybe I just missed something. I'm just not...

Pros: has Mel Gibson in it Cons: The story line is pretty bad
I have to say I have never seen a movie that was this bad. The story line is of a "man of the cloth" who loses faith after his wife dies in a freak accident. He losses faith in God because his wife dies when his neighbor hits her with his truck pinning...

Pros: Great acting, and more effect on the viewer with less special effects. Cons: While enjoyable, the movie is fairly predictable.
M. Night Shayamalan, the current master of suspense and shock, has done it again, but in a different way this time. As this is a review of the movie and DVD, I will break it down.

THE PLOT

Pros: If you are into science fiction, this will scare the crap out of you. Cons: Limited appeal (see above)
Honestly, before seeing the film, I didn't expect it to be much more than another tired and true alien film. But I was proven wrong. The film starts out slow, taking place on the farm of a ex-priest (Mel Gibson). The son and daughter of Mel are in the...

Pros: good wholesome scaryness Cons: some cheesy shots
Sit back at the big screen and be prepared to jump at least once!!
For a horror it was not extremely scary. There were some spooky moments they were few and far between. I think the whole Christanity theme played a big part creating the feel of a PG...

Pros: Scary, Pretty good plot, good character development, great acting Cons: not the greatest ending
Me and my sister went and saw this movie the day it came out. We were expecting a good movie, and let me tell ya, we wern't let down.
The movie is awsome, funny, scary, and fun. The movie had a realness to it that made me believe that I...

Pros: Scary, spine chilling moments. Cons: Movie is plagued with religion.
The movie "Signs", with Mel Gibson and J. Pheonix, is brilliantly produced. Signs is packed with many scary moments, and is over flowing with suspense. As you're watching the movie, you will continuously find yourself leaning on the edge of your seat,...

Pros: Preety cornfields. Cons: Boring, without climax.
I watched Sixth Sense and like everyone I was blown away! What a twisted plot! I couldn't believe I didnt get it! Then came Unbreakable also a great movie because it took the whole superhero thing and made it real, and then added a plot twist in the...

Pros: Mel Gibson is attractive Cons: Boring. Boring. Boring.
The movie was well-acted, but so slow that you ceased to care anymore. Direction was very heavy-handed, with significant pauses that really never seemed to mean anything. Also, the special effects were kid stuff. Basically, if you like internal...

Pros: scary, deep, great acting and directing, funny Cons: unrealistic parts, not as scary as it could be
This movie was a fabulous scary movie, although not as good as something like Jurassic Park. The creepiest thing is how the aliens have a very similar thought process to humans, and we can recognize their actions as similar to humans' actions in war. The...

Pros: Suspense, suspense, and humor Cons: n/a
When they said, Don't See It Alone, they really meant it. Signs was so scary and realistic to me. Aliens returning to take over Earth is mind racking because who knows whether or not if this could happen. When I went to see it, I had to sit on the front...

Pros: Very scary at times, good performances all round Cons: Disappointing ending
I wanted to LOVE this movie. The trailer was heart-stopping and Shyamalan's past work was always clever and thought-provoking. When I saw SIGNS, I absolutely LOVED the first 2/3 of the movie.
Mel Gibson stars as a former reverend who lives...

Pros: Cast, spiritual content, plot Cons: Slow to start
Mel Gibson has really outdone himself this time. His character in this movie travels on an emotional journey and each of those emotions are perfectly clear on the actors face. Mr Gibson shows that he is not afraid to show his spirituality. I found the...

Pros: realistic, suspenseful, good acting except for M. Night, Phoenix is hilarious Cons: Not M. Night's best work
This movie was a good interpretation of what would happen if ALiens do attack. Very realistic. M. Night has a way of crafting his movie so well we actually believe this could happen if Aliens attack. His approach kinds of remind me of the TV series...
