bachi_2805 Develop the important characters. Raise the 'What if...?' questions. Execute with heart. (Get great graphic novel artists, great actors, great script, great directing and great cinematography). After doing all of the above, you won't have to travel to another universe and watch the man of steel fighting the man in black for all eternity in order to see great superhero portraits.

jmillerjr-00983 This is an excellent film, but not quite as good as the trilogy of brilliance that would follow it from m.night. I see 6th Sense and Unbreakable as Night cutting his teeth for the truly brilliant films that were signs, village, and Lady in the Water. Still, this is absolutely a great film and I can't wait for Glass.

Jack C Ignore the negative one star hater reviews- they are from people who thought Matrix Revolutions and Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back are worth 9/10 stars.Yes, there is a fatal flaw in the movie with the protagonist wondering if he is indeed unbreakable. If you can accept that Bruce Willis plays a man of below average intelligence struggling to figure out his life, the rest of the pieces fall perfectly into place. Top notch acting from all involved, especially Samuel L as the rare comic collector. Intelligent comic fans will appreciate the cinematography and the philosophical discussions of their genre. This is not a Michael Bay movie, but more on par with a Christopher Nolan epic. As an origin story, it is nuanced and multi-layered. Even my ADHD comic nerd son managed to sit through his first viewing with rapt, undivided attention. People who can't handle Unbreakable's pacing should stick to reality TV.

anselmdaniel This review contains spoilers.Unbreakable is directed by M. Night Shyamalan and stars Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Unbreakable follows David Dunn, played by Bruce Willis, who discovers something about himself after a disaster. Along the way, a comic book collector played by Samuel L. Jackson advises David Dunn.Unbreakable had a poor marketing campaign. This movie had trailers that rode on M. Nigh Shyamalan's previous movie, The Sixth Sense's tone and theme. This movie is not anything like what the trailers may suggest. Unbreakable is not a psychological thriller like The Sixth Sense. Instead Unbreakable is actually a classic hero story told with a twist. The movie is actually a superhero origin story. The movie presents the hero as unaware of his own superpowers until Elijah Price advises him.Unbreakable presents a character that the audience can follow and care about. David Dunn is a great character and Elijah Price plays an excellent foil. Bruce Willis has natural charisma in the role, and is believable in trying to discover his abilities. Samuel L. Jackson has a mysterious presence and he brings out emotions that the audience may not expect.This movie does have some problems. Some of its directing is bland and it overuses flashbacks and subtitles. An example of this is its epilogue where the story continues in text, even when the plot had already reached an appropriate conclusion. There is sadly not a good way to tell the origin story of this movie without the flashbacks without sacrificing its own plot and character motivations.I recommend Unbreakable. Even watching it in the 2010s, the movie does not have common patterns found in typical superhero origin stories such as the Marvel movies. This is an original movie with a great twist.
