Signs-The Movie

[ShaedyKD]

Just got back from seeing the new M. Night Shymalan movie, Signs. I'll give it one thumb up, and one down. IMHO, nothing more than a 2 hour episode of The X-Files, minus Scully and Mulder. (But wait, maybe it was more like The X-Files Movie, "Fight the Future"...) I mean, some parts were suspenseful, but I feel as though they should have left some parts up to the imagination. If I had been watching it in my living room, in no way would I have been scared or creeped out. I'm finding myself analyzing it, and thinking about how I would have changed the storyline, but I'm just a big dork I guess. A mix of Independence Day, War of the Worlds and Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. I'm sure it's way better than "Master of Disguise" for a weekend movie pick, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for an Oscar. Of course, my friends say I am a very harsh critic....so what did you think of it?
