Summary: Unbreakable Didn't Break New Ground
Review: Unbreakable could have been written as an episode for the Twilight Zone. Meaning, the story could have been told in 30 minutes. All that was built up ends in a Twilight Zone type twist ending, yet it is a disappointing one. The film making is stylish and moody, but the pacing is too slow. Also, the Samuel Jackson character as well as Spencer Treat Clark as Bruce Willis' son are hard to sympathize with. I'm a comic book collector, and this movie did not put "fanboys" in a good light. I think a lot of people were not impressed with this movie. Just look in the Amazon.com "Used MarketPlace" and you'll see why.

Summary: The Sixth Sense this is not!!!
Review: This movie is not good.I remember working at a movie theater when this movie was released, and when we had our employee screeing of it, we were all very excited (there was about 15 or so of us who watched it).
Maybe we expected too much, maybe we expected another "Sixth Sense", which is an amazing film. As we all left the theater (the five of us who hadn't walked out) we felt like it was bad. I even got paid to watch the movie, and I still felt as though I had wasted a precious few hours of my time. Not only watching it, but putting the film together. And what was with the whole comic book thing???? That was just not good!!! I could rant about how bad this movie is all day long, and it still wouldn't make me feel any better. Do yourselves a favor and buy the Kevin Smith movies instead.

Summary: Unbelievable
Review: Pacing was uneven and I couldn't sympathize with any of the characters or their motivations, like Robin Wright Penn's refusal to live with "football in her life" or some nonsense and the kid becoming unhinged when his father refuses to believe he's invulnerable and goes so far as to point a gun at him. Look, kid, if you want to test someone's invulnerability there are better ways than scaring the s**t out of them. I just couldn't buy the premise and the film just overwhelmingly struck me as pretentious. I did appreciate the irony of casting Bruce Willis an ordinary-seeming person and reluctant hero who really is invulnernable as opposed to all the intrepid action heroes he's played in the past.

Summary: Bruce Willis does it again
Review: While it isn't your typical edge-of-your-seat thriller, Unbreakable is loaded with the excitement of discovery and surprises around every corner.
My only complaint is the ending; you know in the back of your mind that it's coming, but it could have been worked a little better.

Summary: This is a "reference quality" DVD, I love it.
Review: I liked the ending ~ I can't usually say that about movies. A sequel could easily follow, yet the ending was still satisfying to me. This is a "super hero" movie, yet, actually manages to seem plausible. Both the lead actors are great. Perhaps not the BEST movie, but I really enjoyed it, and the video and audio on this DVD are superb. This is one of few movies that I've enjoyed watching repeatedly, when combined with how good the DVD version is, that makes it a top pick to own on DVD.

Summary: Suspense Filled Thriller
Review: On his way home from New York, David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is involved in a horrific train crash. Miraculously he is the sole survivor and does not have even a single scratch on him. Shortly after the wreck David meets a strange man named Elijah (Samuel L. Jackson) who begins to make David question himself. How was it possible that he did not even break a bone in the wreck? Was surviving the crash luck or was he chosen? If he was chosen what is his purpose in life? Elijah believes he knows the answers but will David want to believe him? This is the first DVD in the new Vista Series line. The film is shown in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and sports both a Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 tracks. The extras are all on the second disk and are all in anamorphic widescreen. They include 2 featuretts, deleted scenes and more. The seven deleted scenes run about 20 minutes and really add to the character development. The only thing missing was some trailers. I know its not much but its one of my favorite features and not even one was provided on the disk. The movies pacing seemed a bit slow but towards the end it really picks up. I heard that this was written as the first part of a trilogy. I really liked this film and hope that this is true because the last half hour is really where it pulls you in. The film made around [amount] million dollars and the American box office. I hope this is enough incentive to produce the next two films. Some may be discouraged by reading the back of the package. Don't worry knowledge of comic books is not necessary to enjoy this flick. This is a film that I will watch multiple times. Still Unbreakable may not be for everyone, I suggest rent before you buy.

Summary: Out with a Fizzle
Review: Like many other watchers, I found the movie to have alot of promise only to provide a very, very, poor ending.

Summary: Hoping the sequal wasn't aborted.
Review: Often times, slow-running shows you wish would end earlier; this is the exception. Had they added another hour to it, it could have turned into a seriously cult-classic movie in the same vein as the original Highlander. Much of the film simply focuses on the main star's realization-and-grips with what he is; by the time he is fully aware (which could have happened a half hour earlier for my tastes), however, he only has time for one low-level deed, the kind of stuff another movie might have started out with, and it's over. Had it been a self-contained movie as I had thought, I'd have given it 3 stars because of this major problem - but in the hopes that the sequal wasn't cut off by the lackluster box-office performance, I'm giving it 4. Now that the universe is "set up" it has GREAT potetional as a trilology, for those willing to give it time - I know I am. Again to compare to Highlander, if you have seen that film, figure it this way: McLeoad learns he's immortal and goes through his training, and has one minor skirmish before it ends ; picture that as the ENTIRE film, taking a lot more time to really make the transformation belivable and human. While you might appreciate that, you will miss the big-bang ending: And that's what Unbreakable needs in the 2nd installment. Not that I want an over-the-top finale; this makes the unreal seem plausible in a way I've not seen in ages. Definitely check it out.

Summary: TAUT, GRIPPING, EXTRAORDINARY!
Review: Are the Superheroes, and Arch-villans portrayed in Comic Books only products of a creative imagination? Is it possible that there are beings living and existing in the human race, today, with the same extrordinary powers ? Samuel Jackson's performance as the mysterious artist and commic book collector, seeking to answer these questions, and justify his own existence is riveting. In the process of testing his theory, he pushes the Bruce Willis character to remember, acknowledge and use his gifts. This taut, gripping, intense, packed with suspense, film is much like "Sixth Sense", and "Pay It Forward", in its quality and scope. Watch for the scene where a child who believes in his father's invincibility, tries to prove it. You will be gripping your chairs!
