Yet another Shyamalan horror (of a movie)

Rating: 2/10 (25 January 2019)

The good thing is, there's no way this review contains spoilers. Because I could not watch it till the end.
The only Shyamalan film I watched complete is "Signs", because one of my kids must have liked it and bought the DVD. The movie was bad enough, but the ending was beyond bad. So I crossed him off my list of "want to watch" directors. However, Xfinity was nice enough to reward viewers with a "free movie week", so I gave this flick a try.
I like films where I truly care for the characters. I don't mind if they're starkly realistic or crazy fantastic: I have shed a tear for a stop motion corpse (The Corpse Bride). In "Unbreakable", I could not give a flying piece of you-know-what for the fate of the characters.
So David Dunn is invulnerable? Great for him. And Elijah Price is fragile, and harbors a deep resentment for it? Boo-hoo. Had the characters both exploded halfway through the movie, I would have celebrated it, assuming maybe now we'll focus on David's kid, or his wife, or Elijah's mom. But nope: we keep hearing them preach about... the importance of comic books. And I thought "Ready Player One" was dumb because it shamelessly appeal to video crazed kids, making them feel their gaming is truly important: turns out comic book fans already had their "feel important" movie. And it was just as awful.
