Come on, you have a "Meet the Feebles" avatar, obviously you have some goodtaste when it comes to movies.
I'm shocked that you didn't enjoy Signs.

He certainly is, the swine! He's come over and drunk all of our beer! Why do you think we have a drought the moment he arrives, huh?!

Actually, i loved The Sixth Sense, but heard that Unbreakable should have been renamed Unbearable If Mobius thinks it's good, i will have to give it a chance, even if i need a few beers beforehand

I thought it was good... 3 stars...

I guess some people just don't like movies where you have to think ... its not surprising considering how many morons went to see MI2... and thought it was good...

Remember that MOBIUS liked Deep Blue Sea. His opinion on the quality of movies is rather suspect.

The message was dumb, agreed. All movie messages are dumb. Ignore them.

Beyond that, it was genuinely creepy in some parts. Joaquin Phoenix did a very good job. Gibson... well, he's Mel Gibson ferchrissakes, what did you expect, Sir Lawrence Olivier? The kids annoyed me at first like 99% of all brat actors, but they grew on me. The plot is no more or less implausible than the average X Files episode.

The really sad thing is, by this summer's standards this was far above average. This was the worst summer for movies I can remember. They aren't even trying anymore.

[Dis]

they made good money the first couple of weeks. although most movies did

Did men in black 2 seem dumb to anyone? I haven't seen it.

MIB2 was a good sequel in the sense that if you liked the first one, you'll like the second one. I found it enjoyable 2.5 stars.

Yeah, well that was funny - you knew what you were going to get!

SPOILER ALERT! (But who the hell cares anyway! )

OK, what I didn't like about Signs was the whole 'You gotta have Faith' thing - that the 'signs' were just that. It almost seemed as though everything was preordained and that those Aliens attacked for the sole purpose of getting Mel's character to 'see the light' again. How lame is that?

Then there's the Aliens - where do you even begin with those!?!?

Such a lame arse bunch of Aliens those were - capable of interstellar flight and cloaking techniques that render their ships invisible to radar and visual sight, they have to rely on creating crop circles as navigation tools!!!

Several of these advanced Aliens can't even overpower an unarmed family of two men and two children - one of the dumb schmucks actually got itself locked in a pantry!!!

Also it transpires that approximately 70% of the planet's surface and about 90% of the people they're trying to 'harvest' are fatal to these Aliens - what's more they don't even bother to protect themselves from such and obvious weakness by walking around in their birthday suits!

That's just some of the really obvious in your face failings about this movie...

I guess some people just don't like movies where you have to think

That's the whole problem - I thought about it and thought it stank big time!

its not surprising considering how many morons went to see MI2... and thought it was good...

Yeah I saw this and was bitterly disappointed - it comes to something when you can f*ck up a popcorn actioner!

Up till that movie I worshipped the ground John Woo walked on, especially after Face/Off. Then you get this crap! It's like these directors give up trying once they realise they've made it.

Yeah, the US has a good repellant against me - I went in one end and shot out the other side a few months later...

Well everyone knew that was going to be a dumb actioner - hence my finding 'B' type movies hilarious!

The scary thing is that DBS IMO was actually a less far fetched movie than Signs!

The message was dumb, agreed. All movie messages are dumb. Ignore them.

Yeah, but that was the central plank of the movie and basically rammed down your throat from the get go! It's difficult to ignore when it's in your face like that.

Beyond that, it was genuinely creepy in some parts. Joaquin Phoenix did a very good job. Gibson... well, he's Mel Gibson ferchrissakes, what did you expect, Sir Lawrence Olivier? The kids annoyed me at first like 99% of all brat actors, but they grew on me. The plot is no more or less implausible than the average X Files episode.

That's the point - it was genuinely creepy for the first part. Nothing wrong with the acting either and the children also served their purpose. As for X-Files, I gave up watching that when it turned crap years ago - so that falls on deaf ears as far as I'm concerned!

Frankly I didn't much care for "Unbreakable". In the end it seemed as if the Shyalaman was trying to say that crippled people are evil.

I haven't seen "Signs" yet. One oof my neighbors saw it tonight and said that it scared her more than any movie she's ever seen.

[Dis]

don't say that! just because he's cripple doesn't mean anything! surely you can't say the same thing because he's black.

The ending was a little too tidy. But I can't think of a better ending, so I have to go with that one. I loved the entire movie (unbreakable) but wish they could have done something else with the ending

[Dr Strangelove]

Remeber that the guy who had planted the bombs supposedly suffeed from a disease which rendered him extremely fragile. In the ending when Bruce Willis catches up with this crippled guy the guy rants at how much he suffeed in his life and that he's just giving some of it back. Bruce comments on the irony of the situation, the two of them almost being like a superhero fighting a supervillain in the comic books that the crippled guy collected. He then suggests that it would seem that the very reason that his superpower, "unbreakability", exists is to counteract the villain's evil which is a product of the villain's fragility.

Call me a "simpleton" if you want to, but I loved Signs. I give it an 8. Its the first movie in a LONG time that has really frightened me and made me jump in my seat. I think they ending was great, simply because it tied everything together and was unexpected. I LOVED that he was able to rediscover his faith. That's the best part because it showed how the alien invasion impacted a FAMILY, not the masses.

Sure, I thought the CGI alien was a little corny, and I didn't really like the girl, but the cinematography was great, the suspense was Hitchcock-like, and the message of the movie was right on target.

But call me a simpleton if you like.

We saw it this weekend. I enjoyed it.
