Deep Wang Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Signs is absolutely incredible until we find out that the aliens are weak against water. Really? Water is the universal solcent...and Earth is 78% water...I bet sales for water guns increased following tge movie.That still not as bad as the aliens in Battleship being weak against the sun....and invading Hawaii. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Signs is lame and overrated. I actually like the Village better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I agree that SIGNS is pretty great until the end. It's not just the water reveal, though: it's also the awkward religious message/arc for Joachim Phoenix's character. He needs God to tell him to swing? Really? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poseidon Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I loved "Signs", until they killed the movie by showing the Aliens in full scale and made them so...stupid. The scene you see the aliens leg disappearing in the corn field is one of the best scary movie scenes of all time. Same for "The Village". Could have been good, but that Twist made the movie so much smaller that it looked before. And I have to admit, that I liked "The Happening" and some of the Ideas. It's a scary scenario, with better writing it could have been great. "Lady in the Water" is just...boring. "The last Airbender" is the only movie, that I would call really, really, really awfully bad. The rest is some sort of Anti-Hype that somehow surrounds Shyamalan-movies. They wouldn't be reviewed THAT bad, if the same movies were made by another director. But back to topic: 20m would be absolutely embarassing, really. Can't believe that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 The problem with THE VILLAGE is that it's basically a first-act stretched out to feature length. You could argue fairly convincingly that the real story begins after the revelation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I agree with everyone that Signs is a really good movie until the end. It is a well-written story , very well-directed, the acting is pretty good and the movie has your full attention.until the very end. To be honest, if you want a happy ending then there isn't much you can do with movies like this. It is difficult to come up with non-cheesy and realistic ending for apocalyptic movies. See War Of The Worlds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue fairly convincingly that the real story begins after the revelation.The reveal of the elders being the monsters and then the actual designs of the monsters took me straight out of the movie. By the time it got to the twist at the end I didn't care enough about it to make a big stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Lady in the Water is sooo stupid. Shyamalan cast himself as a writer whose work completely changes the world for the better. Hahahah, really buddy?Btw, autocorrect keeps trying to change Shyamalan to "why's Alan?" Edited June 1, 2013 by CoolioD1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Disappointing I will admit for Smith. Though he will rebound-Sony did kind of mistreat this. (And its probably not that bad either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
