Summary: Not a very good movie
Review: IMHO, this movie will be great if it is 45 mins shorter. They run out of idea half way through and start repeating the same idea over and over.

The ending is not very good or "deep" either.

Skip it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie, not all will apreciate it.
Review: A fantastic movie, well done, interesting and extremely original. People that don't like things that aren't cookie-cutter will not enjoy this, but it is great.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WARNING
Review: Many friends warned me before watching this movie! But I didn't listen... now I regret it!

This movie is very weak and boring. I cannot imagine the same director and writer of Sexth Sense directed and wrote this movie!

The movie failed because:
1. The dialoge was EXTREMELY terrible.
2. The acting job was no special.
3. Lack of suspense and surprises.
4. The wife and kid characters were terribly shallow and weak.
5. The events were very slow and boring.
6. The overall story is silly.
7. The director is to blame for so many weak points all through the movie.
8. The settings and interaction between the main characters was weak.

The ending was a bit surprising but after being bored all through the movie you won't care or be impressed with it.

Don't say you haven't been WARNED! This movie has nothing to do with the PERFECTION of Sixth Sense.

Summary: Unbreakable: A movie that's not for anyone
Review: This movie to a while to sink in. A good ending calls for a good movie. M. Night Shayaman is a very good director with great potential, if only he stays away from Sixth Sense cliches. This movie was like that, with the same suspense and same kind of eerie mood to it. But some night vision glasses or something would be nice if it came with the movie. My point is, this movie is way too dark in way too many places. That is the main reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of the perfect 5. I enjoyed Sixth Sense, I mean I've seen it like 3 times, and has a very good suspenseful thriller, and M. Night Shayaman is ranked 2 on my list of suspesful directors; number 1 being Director of Memento Christopher Nolan. But this movie is only a one-watch movie because the ending really unfolds the whole story for you.
UNBREAKABLE is about a normal man with abnormal abilities. He was a sole survivor on a train wreck in which all odds were against him. He meets a man named Elijah, nicknamed Mr. Glass for his limbs could brake very early as you find out early on in a flashback of his childhood, who is a comic book art gallery owner. They gain a relationship, yada-yada-yada, I don't want to give away too much so I won't say too much more about the movie. If you have a DVD player, watch UNBREAKABLE on DVD, the special features are very good.

Summary: wllis and jackson can act
Review: Despite the impression the studio gave this release,it wasn't the Sixth Sense Pt2. Subtle and creepy at the same time the long ride gives you the knife in your gut at the end with the twist of Jackson's maniacal villain looking and creating an equal(Willis), who like most people,are trying to get through life and it's shortcomings without understanding who or what he is. Jackson wakes him up from his sleepy revery that he has walked through his whole life while wife, Robin Wright Penn struggles with Willis's insecurities and his failing's in a marriage that proves how breakable he actually is. The end may not be your cup of tea but in a sea of test marketing for films, this at least has the nerve and the guts to ignore the audience's feelings and finish a film like an author would create on his own.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a clever, original masterpiece
Review: this film clearly showed us all that m. night shyamalan is the present day "Hitchcock" With the sixth sense already under his belt, unbreakable shocked everyone in that this guy is one great film maker. it has everything you want in a movie, suspense, originality, and the element of surprise. if you like original films with great twists, unbreakable is a must for the dvd enthusiast. the extras in this dvd are also awesome!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Put aside Hollywood expectations and it's a great flick
Review: The few negative reviewers on Amazon disliked this film for a common reason: it wasn't the *ACTION* movie they expected. If you want an ARNOLD flick, then skip Unbreakable. But if you want an intelligent film with atmosphere that dares to make you THINK, then this is an excellent film.

The movie is about the bizarre relationship between a security guard who survives a train wreck unharmed and a comic book dealer who tries to convince him that he's a superhero. The odd premise is made more than believable by the excellent performance of Samuel L. Jackson, for which he easily should have received a Best Supporting Actor nod, and the ending of the movie is one of the most profound surprise endings in cinema history.

Well worth two hours of your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!!!
Review: Please don'b believe these morons about this film, it is so much better than you can even believe. If yu are expecting the Sh Sense, then buy that movie, this is a separate film entirely. The film's poor showing at the box office was due the hype following sixth sense, that movie hurt this one like nothing else could have. This film is for only those that actually pay attention when watching , not for the " what just happened ?", or the " what is going on?" people of this world. It requires a bit of intellignece and patience. But the simplicity and beautiful shot scenes are what movies are all about.Wonderful, Night, you are truly amazing!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic! Shayamalan strikes again!
Review: Not quite as good as the Sixth Sense, but with just as big a payoff, this movie is fantastic!

If you love(d) comic books you will LOVE this movie.
