by phungus  in Movies,  - Top 100, Aug 05 '02
Pros: Excellent cast, story, writing
Cons: Some people won't get it
With Signs, M. Night Shymalan once again proves his masterful abilities as a director. He consistently manages to get great performances out of children, and is able to create genuinely creepy experiences using simple things. It is no wonder that some...

Pros: Pure craftsmanship; Mel Gibson; Exceptional build-up; Some good, dry humor
Cons: Build-up leads to a weaker ending
“Signs” is a gem of pure filmmaking. M. Night Shyamalan, the writer and director, is a talented follower in the footsteps of Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis---two filmmakers seemingly inspired at one point in their childhood to read the...

Pros: A couple of heart-skipping scenes.
Cons: Pretty much everything else.
Suspense flicks have never been my bag, but every now and then, I’ll watch one just to remind myself of why I don’t particularly care for them. This recent rental served just that purpose. Signs was a waste of time, and thankfully, it only ...

Pros: Big name director and actors.
Cons: Hollywood is pulling your chain.
Signs is about the poorest excuse I’ve ever seen for a scary movie. If anybody but Mel Gibson had played the lead, I’ll bet this one would have been trashed off the planet. Even with Mel in the lead, I can’t believe the good reviews I...

Pros: Some OK special effects.
Cons: NO ACTION, bad plot, a let down...
Signs had an outstanding cast. After I had the opportunity to see this movie I was surprised to see that these great actors actually signed on this project. I think the bad aliens taking over earth story are old hat. I also think the plot in...

Pros: Good movie with scary moments
Cons: The ending
I guess my husband is on a supernatural kick lately, and that is fine with me. It seems that Mel Gibson is usually the leading man, and that is doubly fine.
Father Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) has recently left the ministry. He has two children...

Pros: Gibson is spectacular; very tense.
Cons: A stinker of an anti-climax.
Spoiler warning: as with all Shyamalan films, Signs is not entirely what the previews will have you believe it is. Plot points, beyond those relating to crop circles, will be discussed briefly in this review. If you do not wants nested...

by lynus - Top 200, Feb 16 '03
Pros: Slow psychological film asking for faith in God and aliens.
Cons: Requires viewers to be there the entire movie.
Signs doesn’t have the right of way into the hallmark of great films, but it doesn’t have a green light into the realm of bad films either. M. Night Shyamalan’s third mainstream film is full of soft restraint that at times pulls at...

Pros: Interesting characters. Amusing spots if you pay attention.
Cons: Horror effects are weak and only to facilitate the story.
By the time I get around to seeing a movie, everyone else has expressed their opinion. Always a day ...

Pros: Solid creeps, Phoenix, Willis, and the kids!
Cons: A bit dry for the ID4 crowd.
Whether you love him or not, there’s no denying the impact that filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has made with his first two major films. The Sixth Sense was an absolute phenomenon, a deliberate and brilliantly crafted ghost story that unexpectedly...

Pros: Suspense, sadness and laughter all in one
Cons: Aliens look fake, Not as scary as I hoped it to be…
I didn’t want to go and see this movie. OK, Mel Gibson is in it, but still, I figured I would be having bad dreams for a while after I went and saw Signs on the big screen. I am definitely not one for scary movies, but since it looked really...

by updateghost - Top 1000, Sep 20 '04
Pros: Direction; Gibson, message.
Cons: Climax.
One film that has, among many other things, united atheists and, um, non-atheists in agreements with its message is M. Night Shyamalan's Signs. Everybody I know, whatever their belief was, walked out of this film liking it and saying, "You ...

Pros: Flawlessly woven storylines, pacing, and acting make a great movie.
Cons: Sometimes Graham is so good you just wanna smack him.
Signs (2002) Written and Directed by M. Night Shyamalan. ”There's a monster outside my room, can I have a glass of water?” Bo Hess. That has to be in the top ten list of things you don’t want to hear in the middle of the night. Kids ...

by thepremier , Sep 09 '02
Pros: Casting, direction, lighting, plenty of suspense and comedy.
Cons: The story begins to loose cohesiveness from the middle to the end.
It is a lazy morning on a quiet Pennsylvania farm. Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) and his brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix) are sleeping in when their slumber is interrupted by the sound of a scream. It's the sound of Graham's daughter Bo (Abigail Breslin)....
