I read somewhere that Shamalyan had rewritten Sixth Sense twelve times before he figured out Bruce Willis was dead. Unfortunately, that was the last time anyone made Shamalyan rewrite anything twelve times. Unbreakable was the preamble to an interesting movie. It was not, unfortunately, an interesting movie.
That's exactly how I felt when I saw it. I remember thinking the whole movie was a backstory and creation myth. I was actually really excited to see the next (inevitable, I thought) installment. Sadly, we got The Village and Signs, two of the biggest pieces of shit to ever make it to the big screen (or so I thought, then both got blown out of the water by that weird Will Smith/Shyamalan Scientology collaborative, After Earth--affectionately known to those who saw it as Afterbirth). To me Unbreakable should have been the start of something beautiful, but sadly became the pinnacle of a career that could have been.Unbreakable was the preamble to an interesting movie.

I don't know, dude. That movie must have been an unholy type of terrible! I don't mind bad movies. I rarely complain about a bad movie, because I like the experience of going to the theater and all that goes with it. However, every once in a Blue Moon I'm just miffed that I'll never get those two hours back. AE falls under that heading. It was the least subtle, worst acted, bull-in-a-china-shop type of two hour long Scientology commercial that anyone could ever dream up. A monster alien that smells, and preys upon fear? C'mon, that's just lazy.

-I saw it once, in the theaters and I recall thinking Bruce Willis was really good in it.
