Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2000)

Finally a movie that the preview and commercials do not give away the whole thing. In fact, this movie didn't give anything away in the trailer. I loved it, but I can see why some people will hate it. First off, when someone goes into a super hero movie such as Batman or X-Men they know that they are walking into a comic book movie. But with Unbreakable, people are tricked into seeing a comic book movie which I personally think is awesome, but most people will just feel like a comic book nerd. I don't read comics, but I am interested in heroes. This was the greatest development of a superhero without the use of a flashback. Samuel L. Jackson is the perfect super villain, but what makes him so perfect is that he is real. He has a real reason to hate, not only because he was born the way he is and was called Mr. Glass his entire life, but because he is so obsessed with comics that he wants his own life to become one. He truly is crazy. Shymalyan did an amazing job with this film and he truly surprised me, not so much with the ending, but with the entire thing. Maybe this movie will only get respected by a larger audience when there is a sequel made because society doesn't care about background stories, they just want to see people with super human powers save the world such as in X-Men. All are great movies, but Unbreakable is by far my favourite "super-hero" movie to date.
