What if Comics Were Real?

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 2001)

I have been a fan of comics all my life. I have always wondered what if there were really superheros? What would they be like? Would they fit in, or would they be considered freaks? I think Unbreakable portrays how a superhero would find out he is actually one, and how he responds to it rather accurately. Of course this is just speculation, but it sure comes off very believable.
I have heard many grumble that this movie was too slow and boring. I did not feel that way. I thought this movie was a great throwback to great directing like Alfred Hitchcock's films. I am not a professor of film, but I know I like the way the movie feels. The pacing, the dialogue, the cinematography..... it all feels right to me.
