Another warning, if you didn't like
The Sixth Sense, you will most likely find this
movie banal and uninspired.
I guess this is clearly for people who have seen this movie, did anyone else find the ending to be a complete dispensing of the two hours that preceded it? What was interesting about The Sixth Sense was the ending forced a reexamination of the pointers that one so easily missed on first viewing. The Sixth Sense's ending was clearly a suprise in the fact that the movie was leading directly to it but one just never saw it. I guess you could say the same thing about Fight Club.
The problem with Unbreakable is that the 'suprise' ending is just not right. It basically makes it clear that the existence of the major sub-plot, that of Bruce Willis and Robin Wright Penn, unimportant. It is absolutely incredulous to pull such nonsense on a trusting audience in this situation. It made no sense as a resolution and likewise absolutely made the whole experience a wash out.
In response to bitter_engineer, I was not annoyed by the comic book nature of the film. I was actually genuinely interested by the buildup of the the plot. Especially, the scene with the gun. However, I found the resolution of the storyline empty and ultimately uninteresting. It seems contrived when resolution of such an interesting concept is a 1 minute scene and text.
