While the ending is the tiniest bit predictable, this movie is amazing through and through. This is the most believable version of the "superhero in the real world" story Hollywood has produced yet.

My most fav of Shyamalan's

something new in the superhero genre........with a adoring climax...........definitely one of best works of Shyamalan..

Seeing it again for the first time in five years, I'm reminded that this is still my favorite film from Shyamalan, but that his work is a lot less interesting outside the hype machine of the late 90s-early 00s. The film has a nice message about finding one's place in the world, but in the end is overwhelmed with the director's obvious use of color and "meaningful dialogue." That might make for a good comic book. But it only makes for an average movie.

Thrill-kill plots, cardboard characters and zap-pow editing are not for Shyamalan, who takes his good, thoughtful time to snare audiences in his dark web.

Even if the ending doesn't entirely succeed, it doesn't cheat, and it comes at the end of an uncommonly absorbing movie.

Far-fetched and utterly humorless.
