the movie...anyone see it? and what did you think of it?
I just saw it saturday night...I was very disappointed
it stunk!

I liked it.

Thought there could have been more to it though.

When it first came out at the theatre I heard it was good...

Now that it's out on DVD everyone tells me it sucked!


Sorry for your bad movie experience Shorty!

Right now my favorite movies is "The Sweetest Thing" with Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair. It's absofuckinglutely hysterical!

I loved the movie I thought it was great.

I was disappointed in the movie as well.

Loved it. Saw it in the theatre and was very impressed. Kicked the shit out of "The 6th Sense".

The problems were these:

The director shouldn't have tried to inject comedy

The acting was not great

The aliens did not get enough screen time and they were not mean enough

The director implied complete pre-destination and alluded to the futility of free-will

Favorite line:

"Daddy there's a monster in my room, can I have a glass of water?"

That cracked me up.

By the way, I actually liked the movie for what it was, but I did not like the pre-destination aspect of the movie, as it eliminated the possibility of free-will.

yeah...the whole "there are no coincidences" was weak and unnecessary
the aliens! psh! they have the technology to fly their funky asses to earth to take us over..but they can't get through wood? and water kills them?!?! and they are defeated in ONE DAY! c'mon! that's lame!

it felt as though mel (I don't even know what his movie name was) and family (actually...I don't recall anyone's name in the flick) were the only people in the whole world!
besides them there was the lady cop...the chopped in half wife, the drugstore clerk, and the Indian dude...(m.knight?)no others in the movie! That movie had so much wasted potential
bummer!
thanx everyone for your opinions

Damm. I was looking forward to seeing that when it came out on DVD.

it's out on DVD, and so was I sorry...you might like it...some did...I just had way too high expectations I think.

it was ok but

being a ufologist for many years

i must say the the definitive ufo move has not been made



however, taken came mighty close

You guys are frigign high on crack..there aint a damn thing wrong with the movie..what you dont see etc is what its all about etc..faith etc..when they talked about a dead bird hitting something invisible and falling from the sky..WTF yikes! They still up there watchin! And just becaue the aliens have secreting weapons etc does not mean that they cant be vulnerable. Yes the water thing is kind of funny but wtf, they're aliens. Maybe some would be weakened by the smell of fresh baked cookies , who knows?Signs was a very very good movie in Shamalyans catalogue..it is so him. Be glad.

It was perfect how he left you wanting to see more of this and more of that and wondering about this and about that etc...I like his style and so should you

I thought Joaquin Phoenix rocked in this movie. He had the greatest lines and delivered them with the perfect comedic timing.

"I guess the nerds were right."

One of my favorite scenes is Mel Gibson's character walkin in and finding all three of them with foil hats on. LOL

Y'all on here are fuckin HIGH! This movie rocked. I saw it in the theater last summer and thought it was great...just bought the DVD and liked it just as much as the 1st time I saw it.

It reminded me of the old Twilight Zone shows. I don't think it was meant to be this high tech/Independence Day type of UFO flick...just an old fashion scare flick. Also I liked the whole "no conciquences" angle...it was something to think about. I don't think it was meant be taken as "this is how the world works", only what if it did work that way...kinda interesting. Pheonix, the little girl and Mel, I thought did GREAT jobs.

Anyone who hasn't seen it...don't listen to these crackheads!

It's just a movie,enjoy it for what it really is...entertainment.

This movie is different, made by the genius of M. Night Shyamalan, an Indian guy, who also created 'Sixth Sense' and 'Unbreakable'. This film is not exactly a excitable film, but it is meant 2 be a tale of terror. I mean i was really scared when i saw it, not exactly shock-horror, but when u c the alien's and what their agendas are, it does feel gruesome and disturbin. I really liked the element of fate, like there was a good reason y Mel Gibsons wife died, 2 save them.

I saw it at the cinema when it came out
& I found it disappointing.

It didn't seem to quite know what kinda
film it wanted to be.

Signs sucked purple donkey balls!

crackhead

Oh, wait a minute... you're right
Signs is the best movie ever...















...No, I was right the first time,
It sucked like a crackwhore on speed.

EricCartman said:

Come on now..a crackwhore ok..but on speed as well? It wasn't that bad.

Shorty said:

EXACTLY!

That's what bothered me, too. Here are these highly intelligent beings who can travel across the universe, turn their spacecraft invisible - yet they can't bash through some weak boards nailed up, and they turn around and run scared because of WATER!? If they're so intelligent, you think they would've known better than to come land on a planet that is COVERED IN WATER, WHERE WATER FALLS FROM THE SKY *ALL THE TIME* and not bring along any sort of protective gear or protection of any sort. If you were in an army that was going to invade and take over some country, and your commanding officer told you "Oh, by they way, this country is covered in an acid that can kill you, the people there have unlimited access to the acid that they can throw at you, plus this acid falls from the sky on a regular basis there. You won't have any means of protection from the acid, however..but I think we have a great chance of taking over anyway! LET'S GO!" would you do it???!

LAME

I didn't dislike this movie and I did like Joeohsoidquinorhoweveryouspellit Phoenix a *lot*, he did a really great job..but I agree with you - I feel this movie had wasted potential and the plot had a few too many weak points.

i liked it,...i loved the fact it got right into the story you didnt have to wait till the middle or the end for action...it got right into it

there were some pretty funny moments in the movie..but all in all..i'd have to say i was disappointed in it as well..

i was a lil jumpy until i saw the damn alien tripping across the street..
