Hate it. Sixth Sense is technically well made, but so is every bug-budget Hollywood movie. Not only is the dialogue so bad it's laughable, but the whole movie is a gimmick that would be unwatchable if the twist ending didn't make everyone forget just how extremely average the first two hours really were. An ending doesn't make a movie. If Shymalan wants to mask his poor writing skills with stupid twists, then he should be directing 30-minute television episodes, not feature films. Sixth Sense is basically Hollywood fodder for mainstream audiences who don't expect much creativity out of their films, people who want formula instead of something that veers a bit off the lenear three-act Hollywood plot paradigm. If you like John Travolta and Will Smith movies, then you'll like Sixth Sense. If you like smart, edgy, inde movies not afraid to take risks and ready to rub your face in it, then you won't like it. It's the age-old difference between polished studio-produced glam rock and punk.
