Unbreakable

[Naffa]

I just watched this film for the first time since I was twelve I think and I have to say, what an absolutely stunning film. When I first watched it, I was expecting something like X-Men I think as I found it to be massively boring, but watching it again with an open mind I was actually speechless as to how good I thought it was.

What's the general consensus on Unbreakable?

 

[Dano]

Always thought it was a great film myself.

 

[stokecity_m]

very good film.

Great little twist at the end

I really enjoy how real Bruce Willis' superhero is. Although there is that element of the supernatural about him, basing his strengths and weaknesses in reality really helps to distance the film from the overstylised graphic novel type of comic films that have become so popular recently.

This is down in my list of top 5 worst films of all time

I thought it was one of Shymalan's better efforts. Good story, but not really a film I could watch again at least for a while yet.

 

[MR_Punk]

I really enjoyed it, its such a basic superhero film that its nothing to do with superheroes.

 

[moogie]

appreciated the film more on the second viewing

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Really liked it but it's disturbing how bad Shamalamadingdong gets with each successive film

 

[Loosecannon]

I love the film...

Its a shame we didnt get the 2 sequals that were going to happen - it just didnt make enough money!

 

[Belmit]

Sequels would have been awesome. I think the best thing about it is the quiet nature of it all in contrast to big-budget superhero movies. Everyone is eerily calm and often whispering, so it makes the scenes where there's shouting or fighting all the more startling. Really like the tense scene where the kid has the gun.

 

[Gaijin]

Thought it was OK, good first time round but not much replay value.

The poncho/rescue scene was very good though. Especially where the kids rescue him, was literally like watching a comic book - very good.

Good story, but not really a film I could watch again at least for a while yet.

totally agree

 

[Knubje]

I thought it was decent when I first saw it, I wouldn't watch it over and over for the "action" but as a different take on the run-o-the-mill superhero story it was bloody superb.

 

[_Jimlad_]

only seen it once when it came out and quite enjoyed it, however i seem to remember it ending out the blue.

 

[reflux]

Yeah, it's OK. Nothing beats the Sixth Sense out of Shyamalanalayanlan's films though.

 

[SteveOBHave]

^^^ I agree - I thought it was a decent watchable movie.

 

[goujon945]

Didn't really like it myself. Rather predictable and bland imho

 

[ins0mn1ac]

I watched it when it was released, I found it slightly eerie in the atmosphere it created, a great film indeed.
