    SPOILER ALERT:
    I still haven’t seen this one yet and the most depressing issue with that is having learned the spoiler about David Dunn from Unbreakable showing up. Depending on how it actually plays out, had I first witnessed it during the film it may have been one of the single greatest “holy shit!” moments of my movie watching career as Unbreakable is probably my favorite movie of all time.

    Weird.
    I watched Unbreakable at an old-style movie-theater in Northern Michigan in the middle of a horrendous winter...and I just felt it was 'okay, nothing special'.

    Great place to watch movies though!

    Nothing weird about a difference of opinion.

    The way it plays out it is like ‘ok, thats unexpected, but whatever’. It’s totally disconnected and doesnt change anything about the movie, at all, imo.

    It sort of does because the whole time you are just thinking this guy is a mental case. But it's actually true and he is a monster

    this is one of those movies that is so average that you need to see the trailer to remember whether or not you've even seen it

    Agreed. I actually thought it straight up sucked. It seemed like too many plot points pulling in different directions while not totally playing out any of them. It also dragged a lot. Positive points for the top tier acting and directing and Shylaman always does great cinematography in every film and this is no exception. However, I’d take a great story and dialogue over acting, directing and cinematography every day of the week and this one really failed to deliver that so... 5/10
