Summary: Did I see the same movie the rest of you saw???
Review: I though this movie was absolutely horrible! It is the kind of movie that gets me mad that someone had the nerve to make something so bad! This is in the same category as something like Showgirls! Story was terrible. Directing was terrible. Seemed like they tried to use every cheap gimmicky camera angle trick in the book to try to make it interesting. Didn't work. Terrible movie!!!

Summary: One of the best movies I've ever seen
Review: I'm not much of a comic book geek, but my favorites of all times are inevitably origin books; whether it's the Uncanny X-Men Annual #10 (first appearance of the New Mutants as X-Men), Superman for all Seasons, or, what is in my mind the greatest comic series of all time, Batman Year One, there's nothing I enjoy more than watching a Superhero coming into his (or her) own.Unbreakable is the movie adaptation of a comic book origin issue. From Bruce Willis' growing awareness of his own abilities, to his son's wide-eyed wonder at the transformation of his father, to Samuel L. Jackson's character, who is obsessed with comic books, this movie is the perfect distillation of a superhero's beginnings. My favorite scene is in the train station; here M. Night combines visuals and score perfectly--you feel yourself with Willis' character, you experience what he experiences. Oh, and the much-discussed ending? It's perfect for a comic book movie, and it's the one that makes the most sense. So fly -- don't run -- to see this movie when it comes out on Video/DVD.

Summary: Keeps you guessing
Review: If you liked Sixth Sense you'll like Unbreakable. Willis again puts in a strong performance as his character is slowly developed throughout the film. I do put emphasis on SLOWLY because the director takes his time building up the plot to its climax. Some people may find the buildup a little slow but if you have patience and enjoy looking at the little details of the movie, you'll find yourself being drawn in. And like Sixth Sense, Unbreakable has that plot twist which will catch you off guard even though you'll probably end up thinking "I should have seen that coming." I liked Unbreakable because it wasn't just another action movie with car crashes and shoot outs. Even though the movie has a superhero mystique to it, it is also highly realistic which makes the movie all the more enjoyable. Samuel L. Jackson also puts in a strong performance as a supporting character. Give it a shot. It'll be worth your time.

Summary: UNBREAKABLE.... ONE WORD: AMAZING
Review: I stand by this, as with most people, that UNBREAKABLE was one the best film of 2000, if not the best. The pacing of the film is so subtle, but fast at the same time. It forces to wonder about the main character David Dunn and his erie new friend Elijah Price. This is a wonderful story of one man true meaning in life, his self-discovery. And, to be frank, the build to the ending, and the ending itself is something that is worth the wait. Excellent movie. I will be buying this on DVD.

Summary: GREAT....UNTIL......
Review: I'm not going to give anything away, so don't worry. All I have to say is that the movie builds up beautifully, I liked the direction that it was heading in, great camera work, and the climactic "action" scene (for lack of a better term) was done great. UNTIL the ending! The ending KILLED it. If the movie ended about 4 minutes sooner,it would have been perfect. Those who saw it know what I mean.

Summary: Great
Review: A good film overall - a somewhat different one but still good. Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson both give really memorable performances. I originally didn't like this movie but on seeing it the second time I really liked it for some reason.

Summary: Along the lines of the works of Joseph Campbell
Review: This movie was one of my favorites from last year if not my absolute favorite of last year. It is amazing how people would rather watch explosions and Michael Bay, The Marketing Dept's #1 Guy, and take his films somewhat seriously then a film that concentrates on a story first. It all starts with the story folks. Anybody who dissed the film doesn't get the distinction between comic books and mythology and anybody who liked star wars and didn't like this film should be ashamed. If mythology is so juvenile why is it studied in most universities across the country? Intelligent and mature college professors dedicate their entire careers to the study of this genre which has been taught and retold over the centuries and taught daily to a serious and intelligent student body. This film is a classic study in the fine Joseph Campbell fashion of the hero mythology. Which according to his works is a curious and common story that is consistently being retold in various forms across all cultures over the centuries. What is more silly? Ben Affleck flying planes with 30 bogies being riddled with explosions or another mythological tale about a man finding out his true purpose in life.? Minus the explosions of course ;)

Summary: Seen it before somewhere....
Review: Let me give you the gist of a movie: 1) The movie begins quietly enough, but then a sudden, jarring incident occurs, altering the protagonist's (Bruce Willis) life. 2) Things at home for the protagnist, mainly concerning his wife, are estranged, and he feels distant toward her. 3) Someone needs his help, they are a weak person (perhaps afraid?), and look to him for help, comfort even. 4) The person looking for help tries to convince the protagonist that he *is* special, that only he can save the day, etc. 5) Meanwhile, the protagonist wonders what he can do to fix things at home 6) A character is slow to come to terms with the fact that he *does* have special powers, and then he finally uses them for good in a riveting scene which helps someone out 7) In the end, everything is set right at home, and the protagonist (Willis) can feel good about things. Now, I know most you are saying to yourself: "He just reviewed the 'Sixth Sense', he's made some mistake!" Alas, only if that were true. You see, both the 'Sixth Sense' and 'Unbreakable' follow the exact same plot-line (pretty much). Both films are directed by M. Night Shyamalan, but here, with 'Unbreakable', he's lost his deft touch present in the previous film. The main problems I had with 'Unbreakable': 1) too similar, thematically, to the 'Sixth Sense', as stated above. And *this* film didn't make the plot nearly as interesting. 2) the directing was way overdone. Shyamalan is on record as being very immodest about the success he had with 'Sixth Sense', and so I guess he felt it necessary to incorporate Alfred Hitchock style camera angles in his latest venture - perhaps to prove something? But what? Some of the shots border on nauseating, and some are just so completely odd (and OBVIOUSLY staged) that they *take away* from the film. 3) the tone is too somber. I am NOT saying that I do not enjoy serious pieces of cinema, quite the contrary. What I *am* saying is that they have to be done well. 'Unbreakable's cinematography, acting, and total ambience is one of bleak gloom. Is is really too stark an image. 4) due to the writing, and the things listed in point 3, the characters come across as stiff and uninteresting, and the plot seems a tad odd. Never once was I actually *drawn into* the story, instead I merely sat as a passive observer. So, in closing, let me just say that I *do* enjoy different, slower-paced films, but they have to be handled very well. I did not feel as though 'Unbreakable' was. And, next time, Mr. Shyamalan needs to think of a different set of plots and themes than what he has already used before. That might make the movie so much more refreshing.

Summary: ...incomplete...
Review: It is because of the success achieved by Sixth Sense that this movie was given any credit at all. The plot is decidedly incomplete, and although the following two sequels may fix this problem, this installment simply cannot stand on its own. It would be the equivalent of only watching the first half of Sixth Sense and having to wait years for the rest to be released in order to truly enjoy the movie.
