Starts big, but gets as murky as some of the photography.

Rating: 6/10 (20 October 2007)

The premise is great. (Some spoilers ahead so be warned). First, the "average man" played by Bruce Willis, discovers he might NOT be average.
In an early great scene with "Mr. Glass", played by Samuel L. Jackson, Willis must face his inner sadness. Willis, currently a security guard, is told by Mr. Glass that he is sad because he is not fulfilling his true life work... as a superhero and super protector of others.
Great premise. A superhero discovered. But then it gets sort of murky...as the photography darkens (maybe it's me, but I want to be able to see...at least in some of the scenes).
Too much mystery and not enough plot movement (for me anyway).
I do think "Mr. Glass" is on to something when he says that comic book superheros are hints of lost legends...or maybe history.
But the movie takes a while to get to the point. "Mr. Glass" has caused lots of mass tragedies in order to find the UNBREAKABLE person. Thus, he is both a mentor and a MONSTER.
A good quality comic book could tell and show you this great story premise, but would snap up the pace.
Irritating and frivolous vulgarities - In the comic store, some crude song lyrics are heard in the background with apparently no connection to the plot (And I had subtitles on my DVD when the 9 year old walked in)!!!
Worth seeing, but not great.
