The Sixth Sense Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Executscan Expected more
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
MovieManChuck 4/4 ESSENTIALIf you've talked with anyone who's anyone about The Sixth Sense, chances are you've heard "I see dead people". I encourage people who have not viewed he film to walk in to their first viewing as blind as possible, because the less you know the better. If you're farmiliar with M. Night Shyamalan's work, you'll know that he's famous for a twist at the end of his movies. This is not only Shyamalan's best twist, but one of my favorite thrillers, and a modern classic.The Sixth Sense is not a movie that is characterized by constant jump-scares and over-the-top violence, but instead it is a very smart, well preformed, and well directed movie. It slowly reveals new information over the course of the movie, and the suspense is waiting for the next answer. However, the two main characters (played by Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis) are always on the same phase of he journey as you are, providing a more genuine emotion to their preformances. It is a very well-constructed, well-orchestrated film and never gives way to it's own complex plot.As for the acting, Osment is able to play the very troubled kid, Cole, alive with raw fear. To capture such a mature preformance out of a child his age is truly incredible. Willis gives a very earnest preformance as Dr. Malcolm Crowe as well, and it'll be hard or forget as well... I was genuinely surprised at how convincing both the leads and the supporting cast was. It doesn't get more authentic than this.The instant success of this movie prompted Shyamalan to churn out more movies made in its image. Next was Unbreakable, a fantastic movie, and quite possibly an equal to The Sixth Sense. In 2002 came Signs, which was a great drama but little for suspense. In 2004, Shyamalan returned again with his signature "plot twist" with The Village, which fails to impress me. There is no doubt that Shyamalan hit hard with this movie, as he has been trying desperately to re-create the amazing experience found here. It just goes to show a formula is only good for so long, and he nails it in The Sixth Sense.M. Night Shyamalan has since been branded as a one-trick pony. While I disagree, I can understand those who think that. His films are similar... some are great, others aren't all that good. Even if it's true, The Sixth Sense is a pretty amazing trick and undoubtedly the movie that started it all for Shyamalan.
shevaunhodge This film is very different and gives you a spooky ,but unusual feeling all the way through.. The film grips you the whole way through because the story is so interesting, i mean who wouldn't want to know what it would be like to see the dead? The acting is superb especially by Haley Joal Osment who plays Cole Sear. Such amazing acting from someone so young. Fantastic acting, as predicted from Bruce Willis, who plays doctor Malcolm Crowe, and also from Toni collette Lynn sear. The story grips you and as the story unfolds, it surprises you quite few times with a lot of moments that leave in in shock. The most shocking part of the film is the ending and I don't know anyone that saw it coming. It is defiantly a massive twist that know one would ever guess. There are clues of in the film leading up to the twist, but they are not something most people would spot. The clues are shown in the film, and it is a moment when you say to yourself "oh I get it now". This film is still enjoyable even if you know the ending so i would watch it anyway, but obviously it is more of a shock if you do not know.
JokerMichel The movie let the tension rise slowly, leads you everywhere you don't expect, doesn't rip off and totally freaks you out
nhnmkho This movie is about a boy who interacts with spirits that do not know they are dead. The boy becomes very frightened each time he sees these spirits and requests help from a child psychologist. Malcom Crowe, the boys psychologist, receives an award and then on the same night is visited by an old patient of his who has the same issue as the boy and is very dissatisfied. After this experience, Malcom decides that he will try to help the boy. I really enjoyed the different parts of this movie, except the really scary ones of course. This movie was very suspenseful and always left me wondering what was going to happen next. The Sixth Sense was put together very well. The writer/director does a great job at sculpting the movie very carefully in order to get the viewer to feel every kind of emotion. However, I did not love it of course because it was creepy and involved a numerous amount of dead people.
