OMG! it scared the shit outta me! i never watch those kinda movies! i just went back & watched the brazil video again & it freaked me out just as much as before! great movie though.

Yea, when the movie first came out, i saw it in theaters and since it has a bigger screen and 10x louder volume, i almost crap in my pants especially the part when Mel Gibson went out to the field alone with his flashlight...

Brazil? That movie was so crazy. I saw it as a midnight movie; I was so tired I had no idea what to make of it.

Signs was good. Bit of scare, bit of semi-obvious plot/moral developments.

I think he was talking about the video of the birthday in Brazil when the alien walks by...but I could be wrong.

Anyway, yeah great movie. I'm not a horror guy muself, but I went and bought this one. Saw it in theatres and then got it ontuesday. I'll watch it this weekend.

That that part, where the alien walked by... they made it so real but the alien looks mad fake oOo:

Yeah.

I didn't think it looked too fake. They made it look like a home movie, so it isn't supposed to be crystal clear or anything. And with all the kids screaming and stuff it made it so freaky.

Uh, yes, I am a moron. Whatever, my other point still stands.

Bah. Too many logical fallacies to be called a good movie...

The brazilian birthday video DID scare the fucking shit out of me, though...

ed: oOo: ed:

That film blew so much, heres a proper outlook on it.

The end sucked. If the kid's asthmuh (sp?) had closed his lungs so the poison couldn't get in then he would have sufficated the whole time the brother was beating the shit out the alien with the bat.

Sorry about the spoiler but the end is stupid... oOo: The rest of the movie was very good though.

i thought the same thing akuma .. what a let down. they handled the whole "alien" thing nicely throughout the whole film and then the ending .... ... oOo: it was pretty damn freaky ... the part where the new report showed the alien guy cross the backyard scared the shit outta me...

i also saw minority reports. GREAT story ! If you havent seen it , check it out eek:

Try seeing The Ring for a scare.

LMAO at the review. that scene in brazil was so freaky though, in the begining you think it will come out of the back yard or something but then they all run over & ahh!

Signs was bolooks. I hated it.

I would have liked an alien movie. I might have liked a religious movie. Signs combined the two and it sucked. The alien scenes were good; they gave me a good scare. His battle with his faith didn't seem to fit the rest of the movie. Ex: When the aliens are attempting to break into their house and Mel's got his kid in the hallway telling him about his birth?!? Do you have time for this? Aliens have landed fer cryin' out loud!! Break out the 12 gauge dammit!! The best part is when Phoenix sees the Brazil video on the news. That was hilarious.

Moove children! Vamanos!

Signs was awesome, got it on dvd last night, and the birthday scene was so fucking freaky, a good movie

I again point to this review.

Fuck u no edit button cry:

I thought it was great fun! Spooky, jumpy, and quite funny.

Joaquin Phoenix is really great in it. He made me bust out laughing a few times.

Ignore the silliness of the ending and watch it for what it's worth...a good popcorn flick.


Zone

I saw signs i saw alot of signs i say signs next to the road. Some of them said STOP. Some of them said 65 miles. Their are alot of signs out their a sign fell on my dads car. ITS ATTACK OF THE SIGNS. biggrin:

Cute.

I saw this movie and holy shit it scared me....but not as much as The Ring HOLY SHIT I was so scared the crap rushed outta me and took a plane to Timbuctoo.

Signs I thought was a good movie. The way I see it is that the aliens represent some kind of personal trauma or demons. The guy who killed Mel's wife had problems ie the alien in his cupboard but really he felt real guilty because he killed Mels wife in a car accident. His way of dealing with his problems was to pack up and leave.

Mel however, lost faith in his God. Blocked out the world (boarded up his house). That was his way of dealing with it.

Anyways thats what I think...I could be wrong.


***SPOILER***
One more ting to note I mean wtf were the aliens thinking???? Water kills them I mean ffs even a gun would own them if he could beat him with a baseball bat. Also it couldn't even make its way out of a friggin pantry. They might as well have invaded with spastic kids.

See here for a thorough review http://maddox.xmission.com/signs.html.

A lot of you guys are missing the point to this movie.

This movie is not about killing aliens and such. There are no shotguns in the movie to blow the aliens heads off, rather this is about a family and thier faith in each other and God. Do we really hear anything about what is going on outside the house? Not really. We hardly see anything. This is an internal battle between the family.

I would expect a lot of people here not to like it because there are a lot of athiests.

Some of you have to look beyone what you think, know and believe and try to see it from a different perspective. If you can do this you can still enjoy the movie.

It was meant to be spooky, but it was alos meant to make you think about the way we work. M. Night does this very well, like in all of his movies. You don't have to agree, but you can still enjoy it.

Some parts wre a bit spooky yeah but alltogether it was a pretty sucky movie. Not as if any parts of it scared me or anything =/

Go tough man Irishman Gerard! Not spooked by Signs. COMON!

I don't know how you weren't scared at times in this movie. Did you like the Sixth Sense? Or do you like your horror flicks like Scream?

I havnt seen it, but I do want to now after hearing about this "birthday clip"

Scary? This movie wasnt scary in the least. I went with my X girl and even she thought it was tame.

Over all im indifferant about this movie. Some parts are good others your taking a quick snooze. I enjoyed the reaction of the people, some very good acting, and the writers are to be commended for dipicting a fairly accurate human reaction.

They are to be shunned from ever writing again for the ending. Water... fucking water... As Geralds linked review clearly shows the lack of thinking put into that element. I did enjoy the tie in's from all the elements of the family, though most were fairly lame, such as the water.

If a little bit more thinking had gone into certain elements i think this movie could have made my top ten.

2.75 stars. Brought down by some ill thought elements, but a good overall representation of human behavior, and religious struggle.

Did you guys notice the guy who ran over Mel Gibson's wife was the guy who directed the movie.. that pakistan name or whatever.

The movie was "OK". But the ending was just so fucking dumb.. no offense to you guys that like it. To many corny scenes for me...

Yeah, M Night Shamalayan.... or however you spell it. Hes in all of his movies.

Anyway with the water thing...I don't think it was water that killed them. Yes, there was a reaction to the water, but I don't think this was fatal to them.

Remember on the TV it says something like "The fight started to turn around in the Middle East where 3 cities found an ancient ritual which was fatal to the invaders." If water was the main posion, why wouldn't they just say "Go get some friggin water guns and start shooting the bastards." You don't hear this at all in the movie.

You could probably compare the aliens to humans. The're probably susceptable to injuries, just like us. Perhaps water to them is like some type of gas or acid to us. I know there are a lot of plot holes in this one, but I think i can overlook the and try to have fun with the movie.

i liked it alot. i normally dont watch that kinda movie though.

IM a horror movie fanatic and i didn't find signs scary at all, im too used to the little "suspense" scenes now, very rarely a movie scares me in anyway.

The only film i have ever jumped out my seat at was Jurassic Park when the velocirapter jumps up at lexs' leg when she slips on the roofing. I was 11 at the time. Films just arnt scary these days.

Whaaaaa? In the end, how do you think the Alien died?

Yeah the whole aliens-die-from-water thing is retarded too. Wouldn't they research the planet they are invading to see that it is 70% water, the smartest beings on the planet are 60% water and can control it. There is water vapor in the air so they couldn't even come out of their ship without a suit or something. hake:

Wha? Did you even see the end of the movie? He knocks water on it and the aliens skin burns off, he then tips water on it from a glass and it dies. Dunno whre you're getting this "injury theory" from as its plainly obvious even for a blind man that water kills them.

erm...water burns their skin off...invade a planet covered 71% (?) with water with frequent rain in many regions

couldn't they have doing something like oh...say...apples?

it may not be water that burns their skin it may be something in tap water that burns them

lol! apples! i remember that, the only part that made me jump was in the thearte where the hand comes flying out from under the door! jesus!
