I never understood why it got panned so badly...the Gibson Effect maybe. I though a lot more could have done with the lost faith - redemption aspect of Gibson's character. Am I the only person who saw the water as a statement on baptism?
I think Signs is actually his best film to date, all things considered. Sixth Sense hangs almost completely on the big u-turn it takes at the end; nothing else about it was notable IMO. "The Village" was lame, but I couldn't believe how really bad "Lady in the Water" was.As the guy who jumped off the 20-story building shouted as he passed the 10th Floor "So far..so good!"
