Unbreakable *SPOILERS*

[konichiwa]

Who saw this movie, and what did you think of it? Personally I thought it was one of the crappiest movies I've seen in awhile. First of all, the entire movie was terribly predictable. The ending wasn't as predictable, but I still knew what it was way before I should have in the movie. But the movie itself? Cheesy, predictable, the acting by that little kid was horrible. That's the difference between this movie and the sixth sense...Haley Joel Osment pretty much held The 6th Sense together with his toenails. This movie didn't have any outstanding actors like that.

I went into the movie expecting something outstanding, as I thought the Sixth Sense was *okay* and people had told me this was better. Guess they were very wrong...first of all, the ending was totally silly. It's a good idea, but hard to execute in a movie without it coming off as silliness. I actually laughed out loud when Willis was standing in the light of the doorway of the suburban house with his pseudo-cape making him look like the "super-hero" he was? And what type of super-hero's kryptonite is WATER? For Christ's sake, how long would this magical "super-hero" last on a world that is made up mostly of his kryptonite?

And I hated how M. Night Shamalamadingdong was trying to imitate Hitchcock!? In the one scene where Willis frisks the guy for drugs in the stadium, that was M.N.S's Hitchcock-esque cameo appearance. Blasphemous!

I might buy the DVD just to watch the trailer. It was more enjoyable than this pile of feces.

I also thought this movie was AWFUL. I was bewildered when I heard people walking out of the theater saying how good the dialogue was. I can only hope that they were being sarcastic because the dialogue (especially those involving Samuel L Jackson) are the most ridiculous and laughable lines I've ever heard.

I also thought that the Sixth Sense was only pretty good. It was alright, but it was anywhere near great that so many people think it is. At least, that's my opinion.

If you have even half a brain, you will NOT enjoy movie. It sucks goat turds!

Seen it. Didn't like it at all. Expected some more action - the plot wasn't moving fast enough. I heard some people liked it, and I found that really surprising.

From an artistic, symbolic view, this movie is great...
From an action standpoint, it is slow.

Overall I thought this movie was okay, nothing great, but interesting looking back on it.

I liked it for the story. As I said in one of the 5 or 6 other threads about the movie, I think it would've made a better novella or short story.

If you take this movie for what it ACTUALLY is, which is just a 'realistic' approach of the birth of a 'hero' then it's a decent movie (still slow going in parts though)
I thought the movie had some strong scenes; When he's lifting those weights, when he headlock-latches on to the killer and held on no matter what, when his son was going to shoot him to prove he was 'unbreakable'. I thought the scene when he tells his son he was right about him being unbreakable was also good.

Too damned bad they TOTALLY BOTCHED on the hyping of this movie. They set the wrong expectations of people.

That ending, though unexpected, I must admit was so totally LAME. Compounded was that PURE CRAP with the ending text about Elijah going to the insane assylum and stuff.

Even though this movie got and still is getting flack, and it had it's low points...I liked it. I'll be buying it on DVD.

<< Compounded was that PURE CRAP with the ending text about Elijah going to the insane assylum and stuff. >>



Yup. Any time a movie ends with a scrawl of text, it drives me crazy. It's the ultimate cop-out. It's okay in the beginning (George Lucas is the master of this, of course) but at the end . . . uh uh.

 

[DefRef]

I thought it was better and liked it more than y'all apparently did. To each their own, I guess.

 

[Passions]

half of the people were sleeping in the theathers. hehehe.

SLOW AND DULL.

Ya know what, screw that...Unbreakable was a GOOD Movie!

The downfall of this flick is that the Hype-Mongers promised us a shabang-triple-decker-super-chocolate cake and when you get to the theatre, it's actually Apple Pie (and the crust is a bit burnt).

BUT it's good Apple Pie!

Yes the ending was lame, but this movie's intent is to take us through a journey...Life through the eyes of a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man living a very ordinary life. He's in a failing marriage, has an estranged relationship with his son, and has a feeling of longing or &quot;sadness&quot; about his life. Who CAN'T relate to this?

But the 'twist' to this meager existence comes when he's the sole survivor of a train wreck...UNSCRATCHED! And then meeting a man (who we've seen throughout the movie and know him to be 'unlucky' with bone breaks) who suggests a rather absurd idea that he slowly learns to believe, through actions and events throughout the movie.

ANNNND I think Spencer Clark (the kid that played the son) was DAMNED GOOD! The proof being the scene when Bruce Willis tells shows him the newspaper and tells him he was right, you TOTALLY understand what the kid was feeling and it was all done WITHOUT words. That's damned good acting!

Supposedly it is the first in a trilogy of movies, according to an interview with Bruce Willis on Yahoooooo!

 

[skywhr]

This movie was great.
It wasnt an action movie to begin with? WTF?

 

[Shack70]

I personaly liked it...but then I am a comic book buff too! I wasn't expecting an action movie, so that wasn't disapointing either
