Much too long to get around to nothing

Rating: 4/10 (25 November 2000)

This movie was a disappointment because it had so many possibilities that did not turn out. The hero, David Dunn was poorly developed. He appeared bored with life both before and after his epiphany. The parallels between him and his counterpart, Elijah, were never drawn. His backstory was poorly told. And finally, his son was just a two dimension.
Many reviewers compared this to the director's fabulous Sixth Sense, but there really is no comparison. This movie was edited to death and not where it should have been.
The bulk of the movie dealt with his dreary present and not enough with his past or future.
The ending was terrible. Any movie that fills out the ending with titles explaining what happened to the characters after the action finished is poorly done.
The movie should have ended at the breakfast table after much more action on the part of the 'new' David Dunn.
All in all this movie took too long to deliver too little.
