Unbreakable

[Davenport]

Because of Daredevil I had to re-watch Unbreakable, also on Netflix. Good god, that thing is intense. The perfomances, camerawork, musical score, slow-burn pacing, everything. Mr. Glass in that comic store is right on par with Kingpin staring at that frikken' wall. Insanity personified.

 

I'm amazed it's a 15 year old movie, way ahead of it's time. The quality is like it was made months ago. Truly haunting and so damn good. I think it plays better now than it did when 1st released. Audiences weren't ready yet.

Why some of those scenes made it into my 'best scenes in a comic book movie' thread. It truly was something different.

[SkunkApe]

It's definitely a good one. I just watched it again a couple of weeks ago myself.

Shhhh...M. Night Shyamalan might hear you and decide to make another movie!

He's making a 10-part TV show.

It's just so rich in attention-to-detail. Jackson's bizarre lop-sided haircut / his comic-book-observance of "traditionally villains heads are misshapen". Those sorts of things throughout. And the cinematography and direction those poolcover scenes. Genius.

Carla Gugino oh hell yeah. She should be getting top-billing instead of 5th or 6th.

Just watched again a few months ago. It's one of those timeless movies.

Honestly, I never heard or watched this movie.

I heard and saw Unbroken which I thought was awesome.

I guess I will have to catch up with Unbreakable.

15 years ago was the period I was out of comics, so that`s probably why I missed it.

You are so lucky!

I remember watch this for the first time in a Concord theater, totally not in the mood for it and walking out with my mind blown on how well it was crafted.

Fantastic movie. I've only seen it a few times. Might be time for a re-watch.

 

The first time I saw it was a few years after it was first released. I loved it.

[Vikingreed]

Love, love, love this movie.

Shyamalan put out some awesome flicks and then somehow managed to hit a few duds after them.

 

This was probably the best.

I agree with this statement except for this being the best. I thought he did the Sixth Sense as well which I think more people probably liked including myself.

Enough people here haven't seen it yet, so no spoilers. But a SLJ screengrab and some Alex Ross art shouldn't hurt.

Love this movie, most of the movie was shot in philadelphia, and the area where Bruce willis' house Is in my old neighborhood manayunk. I actually went to grade school across the street from the park scene

One of my top 3 favorite movies of all-time. I'm even planning on getting nice full sized replicas of the comic covers used in the film to display in my comic room.

Loved the movie when it was released - it did seem to get a lot of unfair criticism at the time.
