Better than The Sixth Sense?

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2001)

YES! This is an excellent movie and I know when watching a movie you shouldn't compare it to others, but how can you not compare this to the sixth sense.

(*Spoilers Ahead*) People may say you need to like comics to like this movie, but this is not true at all. I don't think i've ever fully read a comic book in my life and it didn't effect my opinion of this movie at all. All you need to know about comic books is told in the movie. You may also think that a good versus evil type movie might not be that great but you don't even realise it is a good versus evil movie till the end.
People say the story is a little weak and I would have to agree with this, though it doesn't mean the movie is bad at all. The acting was brilliant by everyone. I had given up on Bruce Willis until I saw this movie, he along with Samuel L. Jackson was great. The camera effect when Bruce Willis is seeing what bad thing a person has done is brilliant, this is especially shown in the train station. The super hero stuff, like when he goes and saves those kids is also cool.
The thing that made the sixth sense so good was the twist. Don't get me wrong, the movie was good, but after seeing Unbreakable you become aware of this. Unbreakable couldn't simply rely on a twist ending like the sixth sense because people were prepared for it, M. Night Shyamalan knew this and still pulled off a great twist ending,imust admit i did guess the ending but only when i heard Elijah's mother talking about the villains in comic books near the end of the movie. That's when i realised the villain in the movie was missing and that Elijah's mother, in a way was describing Elijah. What made it better that the sixth sense was how David Dunn saw all the bad things Mr. Glass had done.
