Summary: Unbreakable the Review
Review: This is a very good DVD, because it shows deleted scenes. Has behind the scenes, the train station sequence: Multi-angle feature, and 2 collectible Alex Ross Illustrations. The movie is also very good if you liked "THE SIXTH SENSE" and "SIGNS" you will love this movie and DVD.

Summary: Not a superhero beat em up kind of movie
Review: This movie isn't about Bruce Willis running into fights because he has super powers. It is supposed to show his story of him realising that he has super powers. This was supposed to be the first of maybe a trilogy, and this was made as the beginning, before anything had happened, showing what he did before he met his enemy. Then the movies after this one are the ones where he is starting to use his powers more frequently. So, it is a good movie if you would like the story of a superhero slowly understanding his powers. It is also a bit slow, but it is ok.

Summary: Very good Super Hero Movie
Review: I didn't expect much from this movie. I was very suprised of the quality and faithfulness of the idea of a comic book hero. Anyone who collects or is interested in comic book heros will find this movie very good. Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson give great performances as polar opposites of each other. On the DVD I recommend some of the deleted scenes, they are both good and explain some fuzzy stuff in the film. I really like this movie.

Summary: Good, but extremely slow
Review: THE FILM: Unbreakable, directed by M. Night Shyalaman very, very hard to rate- the plot is original , but it moves so slowly that I would barely give the movie a three out of five. It just really isn't all that interesting- maybe if someone had paced it faster, Unbreakable would be great. Some good points are the acting: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Robin Wright Penn all do GREAT jobs, they're really believable as would-be-normal people put in strange situations. They really gave this movie a boost, although they alone weren't enough to save it completely. The idea of Unbreakable is simple: a man(Samuel L. Jackson)has the thought that if some people have disorders that make them fall ill easily, couldn't others be strong, virtually invincible? The idea is captivating, but the story is stretched out too far for it's own good.
SPECIAL FEATURES: Yes, this DVD is part of the Vista Series- wouldn't you think there would be a few decent special features, then? No. The special features on this DVD are scarce, and the ones that ARE there really don't draw my attention- even the deleted scenes were bad, they really should have been deleted.
MY GRADE: C+

Summary: Save your time and your money.
Review: Someone else put it best... "if there were negative stars, I would give this movie one." It's that bad!! When I first saw this movie, i thought it would be decent because it was from the same guy who did "sixth sense", but that just added to the disappointment. The story was thin and pointless, it went nowhere fast. The only thing i can say... stay away from this one at all costs.

Summary: A Great, and yet, Underrated Film
Review: I think the problem with this movie was that people were expecting non-stop action, and a cheesy story with no real plot. Sure, Bruce Willis is in it, so it HAS to have a lot of cool action and stuff, right? Wrong. If this movie was done the wrong way, yeah it could've had a lot of pointless chases and fights and explosions, and so on. Don't get me wrong, all of those ingredients are great for some movies: just not THIS one."Unbreakable," is a superb, and yet, underrated film that should've gotten more recognition. This is a dark thriller that messes with your mind and emotions. It has great acting, a great story, and most of all, an ingenious plot. Not to mention one amazing score. (Check out the soundtrack!) And the DVD is really great. It looks great, it sounds great, and it has TONS of special features. I enjoyed watching the deleted scenes. (Try to watch the one where Samuel L. Jackson remembers when he was a kid and went to a carnival. It's so painful to watch, and yet well constructed at the same time.) Bruce Willis is amazing in this movie, proving that he doesn't have to be in movies with only non-stop actions. Samuel L. Jackson is also outstanding. They couldn't had found a better person for the part. Overall, I loved the movie, and it continues to be one of my favorites. If you like dark movies with more of a plot than action, such as "Memento," "Frailty," and "Insomnia," then this is the movie for you. If you want a movie with non-stop action and really no story or plot, then get something else. This is a really great film that should've been recognized more. Very unappreciated, but a lot of great films are. I guess it all comes down to taste in the end. Since you already know what to expect, just give it a shot. If you know what you're in for, chances are you will enjoy the movie more. P.S. Non-stop action and a lot of cool explosions does NOT make a movie great. Just look at "Pearl Harbor."

Summary: Do you like comics?
Review: This movie makes a strong statement on how our "modern mythology" (comic books) comes from actual historic events, and that people with superpowers live among us. The movie is constructed very carefully, building at a very measured pace. If you are looking for some kind of action-based climax, you will be disappointed as there is none (but always feels like it is building up to one). If you are into comic books, superheroes, or the like, then this will be a wonderful movie for you. I unfortunately have not had the background of someone that would enjoy this movie; I could see a very strong statement being built, but it looked to me like it was built nowhere and afterwards came crashing down; I wondered afterwards why I watched it. I did not enjoy it, but I can see that others might. Rent this tape with care.

Summary: If there were negative stars, this movie would get one
Review: This is a total mess. The kind of movie you are glad not to have spent money about. I wonder how many people got out of a movie theater literally swearing about this ridiculously slow, inconclusive, mass of nonsense. How did this script find a producer to finance it, I will never understand.

Summary: A great film that lacks respect.
Review: From the reviews that are written here you will notice the people that loved it, and the people that absolutely hated it. Not to many reviews from the in between croud. You know why? Because the people that hated this movie wanted to see the "Sixth Sense", and when they figured out that it was not going to be another Sixth Sense they got mad. And they trashed this film up one side and down the other. I don't know how many times I recommended this film to people and they watch it and say "It was O.K. but the Sixth Sense was better". Thats fine but please quit comparing it to the Sixth Sense. This film is in no comparison to it, and besides I believe it is better than the Sixth Sense. From the start Willis delivers a great performance, and teamed with Sam L. Jackson it just makes it better. I'm not going to go into the movie part of this. Obviously 600 other reviewers already have, and you can read the movie reviews there. But if you have not seen it, open your mind, forget the other movie I mentioned, watch, and enjoy one of the better movies made in 2000. In your part you will be at least giving this movie a chance to enjoy.
