    • Easy, all his actors are white and he's following the Hollywood criteria... keep the leading characters in the movie white!

      The guy was something, but now is a JOKE!

      I liked Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and The Village.

      I don't see how Signs ranked that high.

      It is one of the DUMBEST sci-fi films ever made.

      Just think about it- an alien species that has the following characteristics:
      1.) They have technology far beyond our own, making them able to travel interstelar distances.
      2.) Water is like acid to them.

      So what does this species of geniuses do?

      They come to Earth, where the surface is 60% covered in water, the atmosphere is filled with water vapor, all of the life forms are bags of mostly water, and water even falls from the sky from time to time.

      And do they try and destroy us from the safety of their spaceships, with cluster bombs, poisoning our atmosphere, or creating a deadly airborn virus?

      No, they beam down for hand to hand combat.
      NAKED hand to hand combat.

      Naked, no space suit, not even clothing, onto a planet covered in water.

      Brilliant.

      Heck, these space ships even have carve crop circles to communicate with each other.

      Have these numskulls not even invented radios and cell phones yet?

      That's it- they are here because they want iPhones.

    • Shyamalan is the American Uwe Boll. A master at raising funds for films that are complete crap and leave people wondering why he still gets funding.
