1. I hated the plot
2. I didn't like the acting. I hated Me Gibson's acting. Joauqin Phoenix's portrayal was okay, but I didn't like it much.
3. I must've missed the whole underlying "christian" them, other than I was just praying for it to end.

Ahh. I am not even hoping to dissuade your view, because it is totally opinion, however I think the plot was fine, Gibson and the children's acting was great, and it was very powerful. Even if you missed the "christian" theme, I thought it was still a powerful and evocative film.

I really enjoyed Signs.

I liked signs.
The story was a little cheesy.
But otherwise good.

The ending was a little contrived but I liked how M. Night attempted to piece it all together. Mel Gibson's acting in that movie is somewhat of an acquired taste: it certainly wasn't the best, and I wasn't completely into it, but I found it to be believable enough.

At least the movie is well-made. What if it was as bad as all the horror/thriller tripe coming out nowadays?

In my top ten lists for movies I don't really base it on artistic merit alone, but how much I enjoyed it. There are exceptions to my list: I enjoyed Fantastic Four and its sequel, but seriously...those movies sucked.

Fantasy:
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Princess Bride
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
I would put Star Wars up here...but for some reason I wont, just to annoy the nuts.

Smarter-than-You Action Movies:
Equilibrium (The Matrix was too cheesy, but I found this to be an interesting character study)
The Bourne Ultimatum
National Treasure
Casino Royale

Big Dumb Action Movies:
Sahara
The Rock
Live Free or Die Hard (way too implausible but I enjoyed it for what it was)

Superhero movies:
Batman Begins
Spider-Man 1-2

Comedies:
Nacho Libre
Man of the Year
Rocketman
I know I'm going to get burned for this but....Wild Hogs

Drama:
A Beautiful Mind (overly-sentimental at times, but excellently acted film)

Romance:
Sucks

I totally agree.

Didn't you like Spider-Man 3?
