Trust me, you will enjoy it. This M. Night Shyamalan must be a fanboy.

Hey, i just saw that movie like 2 days ago. And it was cool sometimes. I just didn't like how it was so "real life." And by that i mean, a lot of time was devoted to his skrewed up family life. It was kinda cool how they showed what being a superhero in real life was, but sometimes i just think it was a little too strong. The ending was sweet though.

I have to admit that the "real life" stuff kinda got in the way sometimes. But on the other hand, you've got to see the human side of a hero. I mean would it have been able to make the point that it did without having all that in there?
I think if a sequel were done right, it would satisfy the part of you that want's more superhero stuff. Hopefully, he'll learn how to swim by then.

I had no idea this was a comic book type movie before I saw it. The trailer left alot to the imagination, and I had no idea what type of character Samuel L Jackson was going to play in this movie. My guess was he was a doctor of some sort trying to help out Bruce Willis realize why he was chosen to survive the train wreck. So when it came on at the theater and I saw these statements about comic book collecting, I was really wondering where this movie was going!
Yeah, it's good for comic book collectors, but I also think anybody who likes a good thinking mans movie will like this one.

I heard that JMS's "Rising Stars" comic was in the works for a three picture deal - for those of you that aren't familiar with it, its got a similar feel to Unbreakable - looks a lot at the "real life" aspects of the superheros, but has a lot of good old superpower battling going on too. I'd love to see M. Night Shyamalan handle the trilogy.

I think he would do an awesome job at it. And it would be a fair trade off now we will unlikely see the next two movies in the proposed Unbreakable trilogy.

I thought UNBREAKABLE was a great movie. The trailer left so much for us to guess. I would've liked to have seen those trailers on the disc so I could rewatch them. I think this would make a great trilogy and I'd love to see it continued, although it is unlikely. It was a helluva movie.

I haven't seen it, but I'm more than motivated to now. Yesterday I was at a Best Buy picking up the Five Star edition of DIE HARD and I saw a big ol display for UNBREAKABLE. I could barely lift the DVD! It must be loaded with goodies.

Unbreakable has decent extras, but it's not as loaded as you might think. There is only the movie on disc one, and the extras are on disc two. But I just don't understand why they couldn't get the extras on disc one. But then I guess they couldn't have such a cool looking double disc set.

Unbreakable was suprisingly cheaper then I thought it'd be when I picked it up. It's a good disc, and the extras are good - just not as many as I hope there'd be, or as there should be for a 2 disc set.

I liked Unbreakable, but the "reflections" camera angle effect, while interesting, got in the way sometimes and I even found myself craning my neck as if I could somehow see them better even if they were on TV! (Maybe that was what they were trying to do, but it was still annoying)
