Random Review: The Sixth Sense (SPOILER ALERT)

I just viewed The Sixth Sense last night for the first time. i am not such a big fan of scary movies so at first i thought it wouldn't be my type of movie. however, the film was excellent. Bruce Willis is a great actor (and ten times better when he had hair). The little boy played the part perfectly. There were 4 scenes that really made the movie. The first was the famous scene of "I see dead people" (number 44 on afi's top 100 quotes behind if you build it they will come). the second scene is the twist when we found out he was dead the entire time (which was the 7th best twist behind 6 fight club 5 star wars 2 physco and 1 the usual suspects). The other 2 scenes i found really impressive was the scene where bruce thought he was having a conversation with his wife on their anniversary and the scene where he meets the boy at his house. both times the movie misleads you to think they had just had a conversation. however, bruce actually never talked to a single person besides the kid the entire movie. i would say the movie is 3 1/2 stars. I don't see how a person could give it less since the twist was amazing. if anyone actually saw it coming then i would respect their judgement but i am positive no one here had.
