I literally jumped off my couch and cheered. Seriously. My wife was like wtf, lol.I am constantly impressed by how wellpeople are still keeping the secret. I had to hold my tongue so bad when my friends were discussing deciding to not go see it since they haven't liked a M Night movie in years. Unbreakable is there favorite one too. I told em it was good, but maybe wait for home video (to downplay it). So far they seem to have not been spoiled.

Agreed. The fact I was able to experience it without any hint of what was to come made it something I will never forget.As one of the first people to see the film outside of the production team, I knew it was to important not let it out, no matter how many crybabies begged for it and offered bogus rationales for wanting it. That feeling of discovery was not to be squandered for e-cred.
WhileFun ass movie. McAvoy's performance made it really entertaining to watch and Anya Taylor Joy has been doing pretty great work in horror so far.
That ending was amazing too. I have not been that genuinely shocked at a twist in so long. The music followed by the scenes right after really made me grin.I'm still really impressed that it was hidden for so long. a secret sequel to a movie, that you don't know exists until the end credits
WhileI'm not as a big fan of Unbreakable, so the ending was just kind of "oh, ok", what made it work was how it recontextualized the entire movie. Suddenly it wasn't just some weird thriller with some odd supernatural aspect that didnt make much sense. Suddenly it was a super villain origin story and those things made perfect sense

Watched it the other week. It's a really good movie and makes a refreshing change to all the sequels and remakes.
Best part of this whole thing is the movie totally works without having any knowledge ofUnbreakable
The ending was the best part, good movie and nothing more.
This is a weird comment. Is this supposed to be a backhanded compliment? If so, how? A "good movie and nothing more." What does this even suggest?
Got spoiled in twitter feed, pretty sad that's the only twist. Movie was ok, some bad performance from supporting casts.
Lol. How many twists does it need?
I had the ending half-spoiled for me over in Gaming, but I still loved this movie. That fucking scene in the woods...
IMO tied with Signs for Shyamalan's best movie after Unbreakable
I dont get why people are so excited by that. The movie is great, that all anyone wants to talk about is the diner scene detracts from the fact the movie was brilliant in its own right.

What a jerk.Knew it had to be either Unbreakable or Sixth Sense related. It's funny because after seeing that I was let down that the actual ending scene was pretty weak. Reminded me of other hammy exposition scenes in Shyamalan movies.
The movie is great on it's own, but oncemeans that I'd have thought it was well made, but kind of dumb. Thehe starts bending bars, running on walls,
and the vague supernatural talktwist and recontextualizing means that none of that stuff is dumb, because we're in a super hero universe, so it is internally consistent. It was amazing, because I actually said, "What is this, some kind of superhero thing? This is silly if it's not," and didn't even think it was possible it was related to Unbreakable.
I've got news for you...
Also, OP, there's an active OP for the film going on right now.

Regarding the mental disorder:It's kind of amazing. I had the fact that this wasspoiled ahead of time (thank you internet headlines), but never guesseda secret sequel. I think it's a testament to how well it stands on it's own because I stopped trying to guess or think aboutthat it was Unbreakablebefore the half way mark.what it was a sequel forThat last scene is shot and acted really corny though lol.
My only issue is how it treats a real mental disorder. I think he should have at least tried to say thatas a superpowerthis version that actually changes the physiology of the person was something more than DID and given it a new name (which the Doctor could have coined).
Fun film, but I felt like I was constantly 2 steps ahead. A lot of the writing (especially for the psychologist character, and also the lead girls backstory) just felt like a contrived set-up for the (weak) climax. Even the twist is something I considered while watching, though I didn't expect it to be so clearly established at the end there and that was pretty neat.
