Meh. The movie was good, but the ending just killed it for me. I have no desire to watch this movie ever again, or to see a sequel.

Unbreakable was, in my opinion, the best movie Shyamalan has made so far, and probably the best movie he ever will make.
I would have been interested to see the version that was %5 brighter in tone, but as is I think it's a stunning movie that advanced Shyamalan beyond being the guy who does the trick endings.
As much as I do love the movie, I don't know that I'd ever be interested in seeing a sequel, I like the movie as is and am kind of afraid that adding to that might ruin it.

So torn...
Unbreakable is and probably always will be my favorite Night film and I've always wanted to see a sequel to it. Well, I always did want to see a sequel. After The Happening and especially after the wreck that was The Last Airbender, I've begun to question my faith in Night. I still have hope, though. If he can go back to his mentality from ten years ago and leave this new, family-orientated mentality behind, I truly believe that he could give us an amazing sequel to Unbreakable. So yeah, I'm skeptical. On one hand, I want an Unbreakable sequel more than anything else. On the other hand, I'm scared it could end up being David Dunn in happyland. Time will tell...

It was Night's best film. A sequel could snap him back to his old ways of creating great sci-fi pictures like the Sixth Sense and Signs. He'll need a good film after his last 2.

I dont know. On one hand this was the last good movie M.Night has done and it could be considered a nice comeback for him if the sequel is better recieved than his other films. On the other hand he could turn the most well recieved M.Night movie into a piece of crap. Just hope he can somehow get Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson back and there could be a chance of this movie being decent

Conservatively, you must mean his last three, all of which were incredibly bad. Originally Posted by Maestro Hulk

I don't get why people hated the village. I personally loved it. My mom even liked it. Lady and the giamati and signs of the end of mel's career were both boring and I didn't bother with happening. I'll see the last air bender though.

I agree. I also think of it as one of the best "Superhero" movies ever made. Originally Posted by Mike O

I was gonna say that Ziza damn you
i keep wondering why noone saw this originally? it was almost under the radar.
I would love to see M Night tackle another Superhero film cause obviously he has a huge deep abiding love for it.

I also don't really see much there for a sequel without it becoming less real world and it sucking.

LEAVE UNBREAKABLE ALONE!
Sorry but I don't trust Shyamalan anymore. I don't know what his problem is, but he needs to get it together and he needs to keep his current funk away from his greatest film.
