I finally saw Signs.
And while Mel Gibson is one of my favorite actors...
I think M Night Shyamalan is one of the best directors to come out in ages.
I thought Signs was done great from start to end. The opening credits, the presentation of characters, the evolvement of the plot, the dialogue was fantastic, the different layers, the job the actors themselves did, ...
The movie was very scary at times and painful at others, but it was very stimulating. I couldn't go to sleep for at least an hour after. It was like drinking a cup of coffee.
That one part at the end with the surprise did seem a bit cheesy but when looking at the physical universe it is quite possible for something like that to be.
I give it two thumbs up and five stars. I liked it a lot. A well done, well thought out, clever movie.
