    The problem with M. Night and his films is that the dude really does have good ideas (in my opinion), but he has absolutely no idea how to properly execute or finish them

    Sixth Sense yes, executed well from beginning to end, but Signs? I don't think so; at least not the ending. I mean, c'mon, water? Seriously?

    Not just any water ... Holy Water. You just have to take a step back and look at the movie with a different viewpoint. Pay close attention to what is being said not just shown. If you view it as a religious film (Exorcist), instead of a sci-fi film (Aliens) it all works better.

    You are arguing about a movie that's not even good. Who gives a shit? Regular water or holy water, it was still water. It was fucking stupid.

    Obviously you must give a shit ... or you wouldn't have jumped in with an ignorant opinion.

    No..considering this is a forum and people post their thoughts and opinions all the time. I don't have to give a shit about a certain topic in order to reply. This is a terrible movie. Only one scene creeped me out during the entire duration of the film and that's when the alien walked across the screen. That freaked me out when I was younger, now, it's nothing. M. Night has terrible endings to his movie

    And no, just because I think that the water ending was stupid doesn't mean my opinion is ignorant, it means it's an opinion.

    I really don't care if you like it or hate it. Nor did I mention you shouldn't have an opinion. But it is an ignorant opinion, since you lack the knowledge to understand. Where as if you lacked the ability to learn, it would be a stupid opinion.

    I love M.'s movies. But I saw the twist to Happening early on in the film. Signs wasn't my favorite, but it was ok.

    i believe there is a religious undertone to Sign. One can even argue that the title itself does not refer to crop circles but, rather, a "Sign" from God. However, it's still a matter of oppinion and interpretation...which should neither be right or wrong. Even if u choose to view the film in a religious context, you can't ignore the single most obvious problem:

    why would an alien specie, with zero tolerance to water, want to invade a planet that is 80% water????
