I think most men, my husband included, were expecting to see some epic battle. I'm sure you're right, but the only review I had heard before seeing Signs was Medved's, and he played up the "scary" angle in a big way. So I was let down....in a big way.
Now, if you want low-action scary movies, you gotta love Hitchcock.
You know it. Hitch is the master. Too many great films to mention.

I didn't hear Medved's review before seeing the movie. I know Medved likes movies that play up faith and family values. I did see other reviews calling the movie scary. Frankly, despite my adoration of Mel, I wasn't even planning on seeing the movie. My husband and dad saw it first and they weren't impressed. (That didn't surprise me about my dad -- he isn't easily impressed with movies.) But my husband usually loves Mel flicks. Then my mom saw it and said they were nuts -- that it was a good movie. So, I finally went because my 10-year-old son wanted to see it. I don't go for the alien movies, so I was reluctant to see it. But I liked it, precisely because it wasn't really an alien movie.
