Even Spielberg had "1941".

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2000)

Without delving into a terribly long and drawn-out dissertation on this movie, I will simply try to tell people why they disliked, or were so disappointed with, Unbreakable. Whenever a person views a film just to receive a vicarious thrill through a 'surprise' ending, or to be reminded of an enjoyable experience they had with a director's previous works, they are more than likely going to be disappointed. This is not to say that Unbreakable is a masterpiece. Although a very interesting and involving film, it is hardly as good or bad as people seem to think. Shyamalan is still young, and undoubtedly working to hone his talents. Let the man diversify; Stop expecting a rehash of The Sixth Sense. I admire the man simply for having the audacity to make this wholly uncommercial film.
