Giyomu · 03-26-2008, 03:28 PM

hi dear blu-folks,

I ve never seen unbreakable and blu-ray release next week may be a blind buy...
I read average critics... doesn t tell me if it s good or bad (I hate those kinda critics!!

IS UNBREAKABLE A GOOD MOVIE OR NOT!?
or! is it worth importing ?(to france)

thanks

I love it. Lots of people hate it. It's a pretty polarizing movie.

Very hard to say if you're going to like it or not.

BStecke · 03-26-2008, 03:32 PM

Tough call . . . it's one of those love it or hate it movies. I love it . . . it's a slow moving, but not boring by any means, character driven film, so if you like Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson and you're not looking for an action-oriented superhero film, I think you'll probably like it.

GregBlu5 · 03-26-2008, 03:36 PM

Actually, for me, it's one of those movies that I have on SD and really didn't like it quite well enough to buy it again in Blu. Those are a rarity. It was a blind buy on SD. It has a number of good qualities to it, but not enough for me to buy it again.

Thanos417 · 03-26-2008, 03:38 PM

If you're into comic books, then yes, it's worth buying, but a lot of people don't like it.

wisper9999 · 03-26-2008, 03:38 PM

It would have been a better movie if all the extra clips were added into the movie. The bench press scene is funny

u_nick · 03-26-2008, 03:41 PM

Agreed with the majority.

I love it, but a lot of people dont. It's hard to say.

bhampton · 03-26-2008, 03:42 PM

Can't you rent it first? ... Maybe not since you mention having to import it but that would be a good solution.

I liked it. From what I've read 80% of people or more hate it completely.

I will likely re-buy it on Blu. (Though I don't think I can sell back my DVD because I picked it up without cover art from a rental store.)

I remember that it was pretty good! And since I don't own it on DVD it will be a definite buy for me!

Giyomu · 03-26-2008, 04:11 PM

thanks to all,
if everyone is saying "i liked it but most of people hated it",
i guess that everyone liked it uh??

Pelican170 · 03-26-2008, 04:13 PM

Id rent it first. Its not for everyone.. I think its ok. I own it on DVD, but I wont be buying it for Bluray..

thelonecynic · 03-26-2008, 04:29 PM

What are these responses? I like it but most people don't? I'd rent it first? It's not for everyone in so far as there are people whose tastes are just awful. The question is whether it's a good movie or not. Let me offer a simple, direct response.

It's a great movie! The comic book backdrop is more a plot device that profoundly impacts the story's progression, not that the plot itself is a derivative juvenile comic book fantasy the likes of Spiderman, X-men, or Fantastic 4. Unbreakable is above all a fine suspense thriller, its drama far more believable than that of any comic book adaptation.

I thought the movie was great. I haven't read anything about the BD release, but the DVD had TONS of extras. If the BD includes the same stuff the DVD did, I'd buy it. If not, they may be holding back for a "special edition" release later on down the road. So you would be better of renting now, maybe buying later.

I'm almost positive the bench press scene is in the actualy movie.

I'm the only person of my group that liked it, does that sound better?

There's a bench press scene in David's house, but there's another one (deleted) where he uses the weight room at the stadium while he's on duty.

Minimejer05 · 03-26-2008, 04:45 PM

I loved it! Didnt even know it was coming out next week untill a few days ago.

JYD59 · 03-26-2008, 05:03 PM

If you like M. Night Shylaman's movies you will prolly like this too. Willis and Jackson both give good performances, but its up to you to decide if you like the plot enough to spend da monee.

jj5206 · 03-26-2008, 05:15 PM

It is a great movie...i have the dvd collector set and it is one of my favorite movies in my dvd collection...I say it is a must buy, and when i get my blu-ray player next month, i might have to double dip this...but this is one of those movies that you will finish and want to start all over again, it is really good.
