WARNING -- this review MAY contain spoilers, but I've taken great care to write it very discreetly so that you shouldn't be affected by the review if you haven't yet watched the movie -- WARNING
The plot twist in the Sixth sense makes the movie. Think of the plot twist (which is revealed at the very end) like a fine silk robe.
Except it's ruined because it's full of holes.
In the beginning of the movie, the psycho shoots Bruce Willis and kills himself.
Then it says "NEXT FALL", and the movie continues from there. Over a year later, where Bruce Willis meets the boy.
That's first hole. Would Bruce Willis go for over a year not knowing the secret? (By, the secret, I mean what you, the viewer, would know after the plot twist is revealed, at the end of the movie.)
Also, if the secret would hold true, Cole's (The boy's) mother should never have spoken with Bruce Willis.
Also, all of the ghosts that the boy sees are scary. They all have their death marks on them. The 1970's teen ghost has his head blown off. The girl ghost pukes up her poisoned insides. The housewife ghost shows her slashed wrists. But the secret of the movie does not follow this same pattern with the doctor ghost. You never see any wounds on the doctor ghost. Hmm... well unless that's because he never turns his back during the whole movie?? You wouldn't see the wound on the 1970's teen ghost if he never turned around either... but I'm not sure... maybe I should watch it again?... Also, none of the other ghosts speak. They stare blankly and then walk away. Why would that ghost doctor speak then?????? It makes no sense!!!
The worst part is, again, that it continues over a year later after Bruce Willis gets wounded. I mean, Bruce Willis would NOT have gone for over a year without knowing the secret. Seriously. If all the other points I listed above where little holes in my silk robe, pin holes even, then this fact is like a giant tear. The movie should've continued in the next day, or next week after he gets hit. Not "NEXT FALL". UHHHHhhhh.
Other than that though, a great movie, which promotes post-movie conversation.
