Entertaining movies, all.
League was just stupid fun and a really good popcorn flick. The 5 friends I saw it with also enjoyed it. I was disappointed that it was so different from the comic book, but as a stand-alone movie, it was pretty rocking. The CG left a bit to be desired at times, and I would have liked the Nautilus to look as it's supposed to, but the badass attitude of Captain Nemo still came through, as did the comedy of the invisible man.
Way late but I can now say that I've seen The Sixth Sense. The ending was really cool although I had an idea of what it might be...especially since I had already seen an ending like that done in The Others. The little kid did an AWESOME job and Bruce Willis could actually act! M. Night has vaulted up the list of my favourite directors.
Unbreakable is what really sealed my appreciation of M. Night. I didn't have any idea that this movie so heavily used comic book mythology in its story. I loved it, although I felt it lost a bit of steam near the end. As is, it is still a fantastic reluctant hero tale and, as all of M. Night's films have so far, it looks for the extraordinary in the ordinary. I actually want to buy this for the comic book featurette on disc 2, plus for the awesome movie itself of course. Wicked.
