Unbearable

Rating: 1/10 (24 January 2006)

Sitting through this tripe was a painful experience. The childish, simplistic and frankly idiotic attempt at creating duality between a "breakable" man and an "unbreakable" one makes me want to puke. Honestly, my puke would have more interesting to watch than this puerile nonsense. Comic books do not translate well into movies and this is a prime example of why directors should stop trying. I have rarely been so conscious that I was in a movie theater watching a really bad film other than maybe squirming through the awful Sin City (another comic book conversion disaster). When my friends and I left the theater after seeing Unbreakable, we were all speechless until a good friend (and fellow critic) turned to me and uttered "unbearable". This is the perfect catchphrase for this smelly turd of a film. Unbearable.
