A friend of mine told me he did not like this movie and I told him he was crazy. He said he would give it a 4 on a scale of 1-10, with one being the worst and 10 the best. I told him I give it a 9.5. What do you guys give it?

BTW, if your friend didn't like it, it's probably because he still doesn't get who Keyser Soze is...

:D

:stupid:

I'd give it a 9.5 - probably one of my favorite movies of all time - definitely in my top 5.

I've never seen a suckier suck fest in my life. Boy it really sucked.












Just kidding. 8 in my book.

One of the very few movies by which I have ever been fooled.

The only problem with the movie is that it can be a little boring at times. Luckily, the ending distracts you from that fact, because the ending is so fantastic.

Yeah, it can be slightly boring, hence the reason I don't re-watch it very much.

Another problem with trick endings, the replay values of such movies aren't very high. I know I haven't watched Sixth Sense much more than 2 or 3 times since I saw it.

(However, I've seen Usual Suspects a bunch of times, but that's testament to just how good that ending is--and Kevin Spacey's performance is great)

just watched it for the first time. And I figured out who Keyser Soze was about half way in. (or a t least suspected it)

The only movie I have ever stood up and clapped after. In my house. By myself.

It is a 9 without a doubt. Easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. Sadly we have been spoon fed so much garbage about crap having to blow up to keep our attention that we no longer can just watch a good tale unfold.

MESA! :thud:
I'm going to have to watch this again, because I give it a "eh" out of 10. I very well may have been in a really bad mood when I watched it, and I don't remember a whole heck of a lot about it (which is normal for me--just saying I won't be too biased if I watch it again).

Was it really violent? That kind of stuff can put me off. I hated Pulp Fiction...I dunno....maybe I'm just weird. I can live with weird.

I give it a 9 out of 10.

I did figure it out early, yes, but it was pretty cheap...I figured no way Kevin Spacy is just an idiot. Cheap, but it still counts :D
