Loved Unbreakable. Sequels rarely impress me. If Unbreakable 2 is released I”d probably rent it.

Unbreakable is my favorite film of his. Cry like a baby whenever David Dunn rips open his car to save his girlfriend. Shyamalan originally wrote Unbreakable as a three act movie, but only filmed the first. That said, I like it the way it is. I can’t think of a sequel story that wouldn’t make it into a Michael Bay action movie. I guess it could involve Mr. Glass threatening a disease outbreak since Dunn can’t get sick. Sounds like 12 Monkey’s. Unbreakable 2 could work as a superhero combination of North By Northwest and The Man Who Knew Too Much.

But I think his next great movie should be from an adapted screenplay.

At his best M. Night is a visionary. Sadly, he has been at his worst for quite some time. The last three films have made him look like a community college hack that won’t care about his work enough to realize letting other writers in can help him.

I love The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs. The Village had a chance to be good. I still enjoy the imagery and music in it but the ending wasn’t satisfying. Maybe familiar territory will spark something within him from the times that his films were entertaining. I agree D Train, I miss the old M. Night.

The Happening had it’s moments by the way. The crazy broad at the end was like Hitchcock’s worst nightmare. M. Night’s still got it, he just needs to let someone else write for him.

I have to say I was a huge M Night fan up until the movie of which we do not speak with the actor Mark Wahlberg who does not act.

In my opinion he was the master of the plot twist. The sixth sense, unbreakable and the village are prime examples of his genius IMHO.

After watching Lady in the water, where the plot twist was that the characters who thought they were one thing found out they something else? I felt a bit let down. The recent disaster was even worse. Hi, let’s make a movie about people killing themselves for almost no reason, and let’s not use any plot devices.

Unbreakable 2 could be interesting from the standpoint of the characters but what can he surprise us with that hasn’t already been explored?

I’ve lost my ‘fan-ness’ and he’ll have to work hard for me to get it back.

You know what all his other movies aside, I think a sequel to Unbreakable would be bloody interesting, i mean as with all sequels you never know what branch they are going to try and cling on to. But alas i am a Bruce, Night, and Sammy Jackson fan, i would love to see what sort of character development has happened since we left our “hero”.

The toughest thing about Unbreakable was watching the movies he did after it. A sequel would have been great then. Now, I don’t really have any confidence in his abilities. That being said, I’ll probably go see the sequel either way, since he did create a great little universe at the time. Who knows, maybe he’ll recapture the brilliance of the first one, and everyone will praise him as a director again, and Bruce Willis won’t make some sort of Mark Walhberg “this movie is going to ruin my career” comment.
