elTee Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I just got back from an advance preview screening of Mel Gibsons new movie, Signs. It was written, directed and produced by M. Night Shyamalan, of The 6th Sense and Unbreakable fame. Now, I haven't seen Unbreakable, but Signs beats the pants off The 6th Sense. I don't mind telling you, I was pretty scared throughout a lot of this movie! I just wanted to recommend it to you all, because it's really good. Not to give too much away, but it's like a really intelligent version of Independance Day, but more character driven. Really really good movie, released here in the UK on the 13th of September. Probably already out elsewhere, but if you haven't seen it - go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Yes, Signs is an excellent movie. Plus, you get to see a preview of The Ring, which will probably be even better, so check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Plus, it's really revived the tourist industry in some dodgy English county, thanks to hourdes of American tourists flocking in to see the crop circles. For some reason! (Apparently this movie involves crop circles, or something, confusion-heads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aliens can be killed by water and so they come to a planet 2/3rds filled with water and don't wear protective suits or any clothes at all? At night they had their lights on in their spacecrafts and then in the day time they cloak?!? Mel Gibson dosen't even bother buying a gun? =mek= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sopabuena Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 All my friends hated it, "The worst movie ever" some said. I dont have an opinion of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Yes, according to the critics "This is the only film I ever walked out on. Anyone who has seen this film is either a total idiot or enjoys gawping at Mel Gibson" "Apalling, pure toilet humour." "Movie?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 It got a lot of good reviews too - http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1807733433&cf=critic&intl=us - plus, Ebert rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapezoid Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I guess it's one of those movies that everyone either hates or loves. And the people who hate it think everyone should hate it too, and the people who love it think everyone should love it too, so they get all pissed off at each other and start throwing hand grenades, and before you know it it's WORLD FRIGGIN WAR III.

Swordmaster Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I just came back from the movies after seeing Signs. It was pretty good actually, had its fair share of popcorn-spilling spooky moments. The film was surprisingly unassuming, not many running-around-the-house-screaming-in-skimpy-clothing scenes. That style actually added to the scare factor. (Overall, I still prefer The Sixth Sense of Shyamalan's works.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooJaka Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Damn 13th? When will you come? I want to see this film now just so I can contribute. I feel really left out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamNMax Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 My brother saw it and said it was frigin creepy. Anyone think differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted September 7, 2002 Author Share Posted September 7, 2002 Lol, I was pretty pleased to see it a week early. I might go again on the 13th now. I think its great, because its pretty much like what would happen if aliens arrived on earth in real life. That bit in shyamalans characters house is creepy as hell. And the bit where gibbo see's the leg in the cornfield. Its really funny too, a few laugh out loud moments. I think its a great movie, maybe the best since fellowship of the ring, and if I knew how to do the 'spoiler' thing I'd elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
