6. Unbreakable 2
Unbreakable was director M. Night Shyamalan's sophomore effort, and though it wasn't an outright financial success, it received positive reviews, a cult following, and is on the list of Time's top ten superhero films of all time. News of a sequel has gone back and forth since its release in 2000, with Samuel L. Jackson stating his desire to return, and Bruce Willis hoping for a trilogy. Shyamalan has been especially indecisive, at times claiming that he never even considered it, and then later claiming that it was "getting closer" to happening. Fans have a tendency to hate the idea of never finding resolution to an open-ended story, and Unbreakable certainly offers that. It feels like a film missing its third act, and though it's something fans have been dying to see, I argue that it's better left the way it is. For one, any follow-up would fail to reach audiences' expectations, and Shyamalan's reluctance shows that his heart is no longer in the project. Considering his substantial fall from grace after releasing a series of flops (in terms of reviews and box office earnings), I doubt that he would be able to do the first film justice.
