great movie!

Ive read a lot of criticism about this movie and I am kind of mystified as I really enjoyed it and thought there were some really great ideas and concepts introduced.. If I understand it correctly, comic books were introduced into the world to document the real life exploits of real superhuman beings, allowing for some exaggeration... it seems like there are a lot of places to go with this concept...
-look at every great leader the world has known, whether for good or bad, dictator or conquerer.
-look at the athletes that have looked up to or been amazed by
-look at the serial killers and mass murderers and criminal masterminds we have records of

Don't we all know someone that is just good at just about everything? People that seem to always land on the right side of things, despite not trying very hard at anything?

I have seen about every comic book movie out there and I thought this was better than quite a few.. I liked it much better than aqua man, venom, or justice league..
i would love for him to expand upon this idea..

The Incredibles wasn't a comic book yet most learned people feel it was the best Fantastic Four movie of them all.

Yeah, I’m in agreement. There is more to love about this film than hate, as far as I’m concerned. Saw it again and was captivated all the way through.

And as curious as I am about another installment, M. Night has made himself clear that he won’t be revisiting this universe. Arguably there’s not much more left to say anyway. But you never know.

I have just had my second viewing, and I think it's bordering on a Great movie now. I really enjoyed it and I think the various themes of the.movie (the power of Human Touch, realising your inner hero, pushing against the 'system', etc) really come through.

The humour is generally.nicely done, and the cinematography and music are generally Great.

Best time I have had in a cinema since 3 Billboards.

Funny, I've often felt the same way about "Sixth Sense," that I'd like to see what Cole did with his life and abilities, now that he understands them.

I'm likewise curious to see what Elijah Price managed to start in this movie's universe, but in both cases, it's better left to the audience's imagination.

Ghosts exist in Cole's universe, and he'll be able to help them without harming himself. But that story's being left up to us to complete.

Likewise here. Superheroes exist in Mr. Glass's universe, and now they're out in the open. What happens next is up to us to imagine.

Do not waste your money on this garbage. Do not support this lazy, garbage-filled excuse of a movie. Better to give your money to a stranger - or toss your cash into a fire just to watch it burn. That alone would be more entertaining than this pathetic movie. It is astonishingly bad; hopelessly slapped together. An inept regurgitation and a complete embarrassment for anyone associated with the project.
