But I did like Signs, The Village and that one a few years back with the weird grandparents.

I quit watching his shit after Signs, a movie that features a farmer who sleeps in, never works, and doesn't own a gun, pitted against aliens who are also unarmed, dumb enough to be trapped in pantries, and despite water being poisonous to them, are trying to invade a planet mostly covered in water, where it rains.

It seems as if it's very tough to get aliens right, especially when they aren't being ported from long running book or tv series. A lot of that seems to come from having to figure out a way that they can be beaten back by humans, who are pretty much guaranteed to be the lesser race in these encounter movies. Death by a cold Death by water Death by a drunk who flies a dud missile up into the big weapon Death because killing one means killing them all and so on So creatures who are far enough advanced that they can conquer the problem of interstellar travel conveniently forget to vaccinate, have computers that can be hacked by people who've never seen them before (on any level), keep leaving obvious weak points of super weapons exposed, refuse to wear appropriate protective suits, don't max out their DNA potential through genetic engineering, and the like. And that nonsense arrives from the more honest alternative, which is that aliens who are advanced enough to cross the void are almost certainly going to be advanced enough to take us out with little effort required on their part. |

Now I see there's a big difference between "I really enjoyed it" and "It's a good movie." I just don't think "good movies" have glaring plot holes, huge inconsistencies, and obvious oversights. I can understand a continuity error here or there but...eh. And I haven't gone to see it yet but have watched 3 or 4 reviews where people bring up that Bruce Willis clearly doesn't seem to give a shit. That he's basically phoning it in.
