Unbreakable? Oh, please.
I just can't understand what the fuss is about. This movie seems to lack everything: less then poor, the story was nonexistent; more than foreseeable, the action was squarely boring.
Basically, you could split that movie into two parts. The first 90 minutes, spent on preparing (slooowly, sooooo slooowly) what you know is bound to happen in the last 15 minutes. And then the last 15 minutes, depicting exactly what you've been expecting since you've been sitting in the theater (and frankly, nothing to cry over).
I saw this movie because I had loved the Sixth Sense and I expected to like Unbreakable at least as much. But M. Night Shyamalan truly disappointed me this time.
What could explain the critics' infatuation, if the movie is so bad? I suppose they might be trying to make up for their ferocious reviews of The Sixth Sense, a way to say to the director: "Hey, man, we're sorry, we shouldn't have been so mean about your previous film, so even though this one really sucks, but I mean rrreally blows, we'll be cool about it. Will you forgive us? Please?"
GET REAL. Unbreakable is a bad movie. This unbearable analogy between comic books and real life literally stinks. Add it average acting, average filming, and you end up with a movie that's, well, do the maths... less than average.
