As the ultimate culmination of Unbreakable and Split, this9.5/10 A spectacularly bizarre fusion of psychological intricacy, and signature clever plotting, M. Night crafts his tragic yet powerful magnum opus with this future classic; GLASS.

As the ultimate culmination of Unbreakable and Split, this film has already been insanely misunderstood and unfairly rated/reviewed by “ critics” and some average moviegoers alike. They seemed to have expected a fast paced superhero film without deep character study, and dedicated storytelling with heart which is what this film has in bunches. If anything this is the most realistic and grounded film about super humans/heroes/villains that we've ever seen with dramatic outcomes that don't fit the usual formula of so many superhero related films. Another reason Shymalan deserves tons of respect for swinging away ambitiously with his stories and overall vision knowing many won't understand it.

The film starts out with a marvelous opening sequence that throws us back into familiar territory with these intriguing characters and what they are up to presently, and sets the tone nicely with excitement. As things progress the film does slow down drastically to spend time on characterization and the story's overall emotional depth. When everything comes together for the conclusion, the pace picks up intensely to an absolutely mind blowing string of events that will leave people talking for ages to come. Shyamlan is known for clever twists and extremely crazy endings and this one might be his most effectively executed one yet and that says something.

On the acting spectrum, this showcases once again just how mind boggling and versatile James McAvoy's Kevin/Horde character is. His enthusiasm, dedication, and wide range execution is up there with some of the greatest and most legendary acting I've ever seen, and he was snubbed of an Oscar and most likely will be again. He deserves massive amounts of credit once again. Sam Jackson's Elijah Glass portrayal is fantastic as well and just as witty and eccentric as ever, though i wish we would've had more dialogue from him. Speaking of dialogue, one of my only gripes is just how underutilized Bruce Willis's David Dunn character was in the film. I felt like they could've really designated some more time to his character, and especially given him some more lines. He was still solid and his normal self, but wasn't around enough imo.

Presentation wise, this was classic M. Night with crisp camera work, colorful schemes, and creative angling. He clearly has a keen eye for setting up certain scenes and shots in a unique and brilliant manner and keeps the film visually intriguing throughout. The effects in the action sequences are relatively solid especially when you think of the practical and frugal budget, which makes it all the more impressive. The soundtrack perfectly blends the familiar sonic themes from the first 2 films and compliments the overall experience fantastically.

Overall I would say to go into this like its more of a psychological drama than a thriller, and to really stop and think just how grounded its identity really is with all of its emotional power and symbolic messages. I believe once people can do that eventually they will learn to love this film the way its intended to be.… Expand

Touches on identity and how one finds it. Definitely worth seeing.… Expand

What this movie is in fact representative of is the complicated struggle between what is the 'good' and what is the 'evil' as well as what is the 'crazy' and what isn't the 'insane'. What you should expect from this movie is a riveting balance of suspense, drama, various plot twist that are actually really good, more action scenes than Unbreakable or Split, and an incredibly well-casted cast of talent. I made an account just to review this film because the critics completely missed the cinematic mark on this one, well the ones that rated it anywhere in the yellow or red - they can go kick big rocks.… Expand

This movie is not like any other superhero movie I have seen. M. Night brings such a realistic bend. From the fight scenes, which are played out like it truly would be in real life, the conflict through the characters of battling the belief in real super powers, to the whole demeanor of the movie, it has such a realistic and literal vibe to the plot that sets it apart from all the other superhero movies and making the audience truly believe that the concept of superpowers could actually be real. Its stunningly executed from the cinematography, score, color scheme, plot and all of the above. Not to Mention James McAvoy's acting was presented stunningly. I didn't think his acting could get any better after Split, but it did! WHY HASN'T THIS GUY WON AN OSCAR YET!?!?
If your looking for a remarkable superhero movie like no other, I wouldn't recommend any other movie than this one!… Expand

I've been reading several critic reviews for this film, and can't stop shaking my head. These are people I respect, who are usually spot on for how I feel about films, A.A. Dowd in particular who gave this one a B-. So I'll state myI've been reading several critic reviews for this film, and can't stop shaking my head. These are people I respect, who are usually spot on for how I feel about films, A.A. Dowd in particular who gave this one a B-. So I'll state my position: This film is perfect. Flawless. At long last and thank heaven, M. Night Shyamalan has arrived; fully self-realized and glorious to behold.

I think where the critics are at a disadvantage comes from two things. First, M. Night Shyamalan has become such a joke in this business that he's practically a meme, certainly a cautionary tale in hubris, and they simply can't accept that he might emerge fully formed from the trash heaps of The Happening and Airbender and After Earth as the seminal film auteur that he always showed the potential of being. Second, Shyamalan has only ever made one movie (barring the ones written in whole or in part by others), and this one is no different. He's just finally perfected it.

And the only movie he's ever made is this: "You're not gonna believe this, but it's true," and he then dissects what he just showed you to irrevocably prove that indeed, it can't be true, and he's transparent about everything the whole time, and in the end he pulls a rhino out of thimble and lo! - It's actually true, and your mind is blown. Or the short version: "The Twist Ending." And the problem with that story is that it is, at its core, a con. Unless it's perfect, in which case it's magic. And it's worked exactly five times (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, Split, and Glass). Every other attempt failed, and we felt cheated and conned at the end of it.

I do not think less of the auteur for trying to perfect one story over and over. I admire it. If you 'got' Jiro Dreams Of Sushi, you'll understand my perspective. Jiro spends his entire life perfecting one thing. And he only achieves perfection after a full life pursuing it. Compared to that, Shyamalan is precocious in his achievement with Glass.

But why? How? What makes Glass perfect? The best imagery I can provide is one the film itself raises during a therapy session: that the world's finest magicians work at the subtlest levels with inhuman precision to read minds, fool eyes, make believers out of skeptics. What Shyamalan has always been, even in relative drivel like Airbender, is a unique filmmaking voice. His pacing, his framing, lighting, sets, performances... absolutely every single element of what ends up on the screen is distinctly and uniquely his, and almost invariably beautiful to behold. To quote the respected A.A. Dowd: "Every shot is an event." Take a second to appreciate this. The craft of moving images has been evolving at breakneck speed for a solid century, and within all that susurrus, Shyamalan stands out, is distinct, is unique and even momentous in his craft unlike anything current (no disrespect Mr. Tarantino), and surpassing even his inspiration in deliberate purpose: Mr. Hitchcock himself.

The 'meta' nature of this film is brought up in every professional review. What this means is that Shyamalan here is not only a magician, or a magician rolling up his sleeves to show you he isn't cheating. He's walking out on stage completely in the buff, hiding and holding nothing. And as he proceeds to perform his magic he's explaining every step to you in excruciating detail. And at the end, from nowhere, a thimble appears, and a rhino is pulled out, and it sings the national anthem in falsetto.

How does he accomplish this? Let's take for granted that his cinematic craft is flawless, as always. What's different? What's different is that his usual shortcoming has finally been shored up. Even in Split, his secondary characters suffered from what they usually do: they are his exposition. The therapist there is his stopgap, explaining wall climbing and bluntly postulating the film's thesis, which is that DID is an evolutionary step past normal humanity (i.e. a super power). It's too direct. While Split and the others survived this flaw, The Village and the rest were much worse and did not. But it's part of his ploy, to reveal all upfront so you can't believe the final twist. Yet it weakens these characters, which erodes their nominal job as supporting structures for the main characters. Why it works here in Glass is because that exposition comes more from the image sequences themselves, and of course from the meta element - delivered by the titular Mr. Glass himself - which fits both his character and the nature of the whole magic trick.

And that's pretty much it. The eternal fatal flaw finally healed. It doesn't hurt that his leads are some of the most talented actors. Ever. Yeah, you heard me - go ahead, look at Willis' body of work and prove me wrong.

But okay yeah, there is one flaw here. Mr. Glass' mama's aging makeup in super close up. But I'm gonna call that the mole on the supermodel's face that highlights the perfection of everything else.… Expand

One of the biggest underlying themes in the previous two entries of Shyamalan's surprise trilogy is that the potential for extraordinary powers rests inside all of us and that our minds are the key to unlocking them. This message is broughtOne of the biggest underlying themes in the previous two entries of Shyamalan's surprise trilogy is that the potential for extraordinary powers rests inside all of us and that our minds are the key to unlocking them. This message is brought to the forefront for this closing chapter acting as the heart of the story. The real villain in Glass isn't the beast inside McAvoy or even the returning titular anti-hero. It's the people who try to explain away the incredible in order to keep us locked away in a prison of the mundane.

In a time where we have been trained to want/expect big flash and spectacle from our superhero movies, Shyamalan stays true to the world he created some 19 years ago. This is means that even when it looks like things are about to take a turn for the grandiose, Glass sticks to its guns by remaining grounded and small-scale throughout. It's a nice change of pace from the standard blockbuster formula that's become the norm for our superpowered adventures.

The performances are incredible. Bruce Willis is genuinely acting again for the first time in years and McAvoy once again stuns with his ability to embody so many different characters in what is essentially one role. There's a scene where he is forced to cycle through all of the different personalities he portrays rapid-fire and it is absolutely incredible. The real star of the show for me though was Samuel Jackson, although I'll admit I'm a little biased as this has easily become my favorite role of his due to how easy Shyamalan made Mr. Glass to empathize with.

The ending is the only real downside. It's sad to see these characters suffer such tragic fates. The disappointment is somewhat alleviated though by the third plot twist that allows the film to conclude on a more positive note, but ultimately it's still just bitter-sweet at best.

Glass is thrilling in it's smallness. There's a fascinating plot here that's backed by some great subject matter. It's definitely an atypical superhero movie for this day and age, but it's no less exhilarating in its own way than the more traditionally exciting works of Marvel, DC, or any of their imitators. Shyamalan created an original work when he could have just used the modern cinematic universe mold, and it's hard to not respect that.… Expand

Para aqueles que esperam um filme de super-heróis, não esperem por isso, pois essa nunca foi a proposta. O filme interliga os fatos acontecidos em Fragmentado "Split" e em Corpo Fechado "Unbreakable, nos envolvendo em um enredo intrigantePara aqueles que esperam um filme de super-heróis, não esperem por isso, pois essa nunca foi a proposta. O filme interliga os fatos acontecidos em Fragmentado "Split" e em Corpo Fechado "Unbreakable, nos envolvendo em um enredo intrigante sobre acreditar ser um super-herói de acordo com o psicológico da pessoa. É um filme inteligente, intrigante, com ideias complexas que em certos pontos nos faz questionar sobre os acontecimentos dos outros dois filmes. As atuações são excelentes aos papéis, com destaque novamente para James McAvoy, que tem uma interpretação excelente no seu personagem. O filme possui também a inserção de uma importante personagem: a psicóloga. Sua participação no longa parece meio "nada a ver", mas a medida que o filme avança e principalmente no final, percebemos o seu objetivo, que acaba fracassando nos últimos minutos. As vezes nos parece que a participação da personagem Casey pode ter parecido forçada no começo, mas por mais que sua participação seja pequena, ela é importante ao final. A participação do Joseph ao filme me pareceu um tanto estranha e sem muita importância ao longo do filme. Certamente não havia muito espaço para eles dois. Percebe-se que quando o diretor fez o filme "Corpo Fechado" ele não pensou em futuramente criar o "Fragmentado" e juntar os dois, mas a mente humana é incrível e esse terceiro filme encaixou muito bem a junção entre eles. Conclusão: "Vidro" é um ótimo filme, com um enredo pertinente e bem feito, que explora o passado dos personagens para questionar os acontecimentos dos outros dois filmes. onde os três personagens principais acabam por ter uma ligação muito boa. Novamente, não espere por um filme de super-herói, como já estamos acostumados a ver sempre nos filmes da Marvel e DC, pois o objetivo do filme não é esse, e ainda bem que não é, pois assim não seria possível entender o real objetivo do mesmo: envolver nós espectadores e os personagens em questionamentos sobre serem super humanos. O filme não é um blockbuster mas é melhor do que muitos e nos surpreende com seu enredo mais ousado. O filme cumpre bem com o que é proposto e vai além, nos surpreende de um bom jeito. O filme também possui um plot twist, que funciona bem e o torna diferente e melhor do que se não tivesse. Vidro é um ótimo filme e um ótimo desfecho da "trilogia" criada por M. Night Shyamalan.… Expand

I just found the whole world of thisFrom what I hear, this is one of those really polarizing movies with some people really liking it and some not. I came into Glass a little cautious, but I was surprised to find out how MUCH i liked this.

I just found the whole world of this so fascinating. Some people don't like that a lot of this is talking, but this is an M. Night Shamyalan movie and considering Unbreakable had a lot of talking, I wasn't surprised. (Action fans shouldn't be too worried. There are two major fight scenes, and they are both pretty good, especially the first one.) The whole film focuses on characters like Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) arguing for the existence of real life superheroes and the psychiatrist (Sarah Paulson) providing plausible arguments why they don't exist. Yeah, this rehashes concepts from Unbreakable, but I still found the ideas and dialogue to all be really interesting.

There is one thing they do near the end that rubbed me the wrong way, but then they quickly followed up with something I found so satisfying that I quickly forgave.

The third act is a little rushed, including one character's jump to a conclusion a little hard to swallow. Also, some of Mr. Glass' obvious comparisons to comic books sometime feel like Shamyalan is talking down to the audience. Still, it wasn't enough to take me from the film.

Also, this is a serious film but it does have some pretty good funny bits to lighten the mood.

Mr. Glass, the wheelchair-bound genius with brittle bone disease, and the Horde (played by James McAvoy), a serial killer with multiple personalities with different moral leanings, are still fascinating characters. Yeah, they've both done monstrous things and yet the movie still makes you feel for them. Jackson nails every scene, and it's pretty impressive how many characters McAvoy are able to shift between. (However, since they are revealing more personalities here, it seems like McAvoy was running out of ideas for voices.)

Unfortunately, Bruce Willis' superhero David Dunn gets short shrift here. He gets a good introduction, but once the second act kicks in they do very little with him, and I felt like the ending didn't do him justice.

Heard a lot of people complain about the psychiatrist being too talky, but I didn't see any issues. I liked that she didn't fall into frustrating movie psychiatrist tropes, by being well-meaning but totally incompetent and clueless or being an uncaring jerk. All three of the exceptional people have a supporting character on the outside who all really work well and again the actors do great work.

Say what you will about Shamyalan's writing style, but he has an excellent sense of visuals. He really pulls you in, which helped me be less bothered by any little stumbles in the plot. It is so nice to see a director who knows that you can shoot a scene at night and still have color and see what is going on.

I admit that many people could be bothered by the ending more than me. Seeing this could be a gamble, but if you were a fan of Unbreakable and Split, I suggest you take your chances on this.… Expand

I am sure that the critics will be confused at the fact that nobody is flying around in a cape, throwing magical lightning hammers with their half ripped off shirts and exposed oiled bodies. There is no typical Hollywood, easily digestible 'Candy' writing in this movie. The fights are gritty, the characters are human, the story is honest.
Going into this movie with expectations on what a superhero movie 'should be' will see you quickly running back to the counter for Aquaman tickets to sit with the critics.
Watching Unbreakable and Split beforehand is an absolute MUST! If you decide to give this a miss, you will find yourself being very quickly confused.
Conclusion... This movie was a unique experience that left myself and my partner discussing the events on our way home. It was awesome to see the characters and actors from the previous films again, and the conclusion will certainly leave you thinking.
I created an account and reviewed this movie just to rectify the critics poor understanding of what people actually like.… Expand

The score of Glass is absurd compared with the deep story created by Mr. Shyamalan in this marvelous triology. I have to reconize that my hopes were high before entering to the movie threatre, but it was better than I expected. Brilliant, intelligent and unexpected twists, interesting process of creation of this three heroes and villans, its connection and sociality. I didn´t expected than a singular but curious movie like "UNBREAKABLE" could make a great game for the spectators and making chills to the comic lovers, who were gratified with ties and nods combined with one of the best heroes triology I have never seen. Okay, maybe its not much mysterious or thrilling than "Split" or having a slow but marked rhythm like "Unbreakable", but that`s argued and defended thanks to a sensational conclusion, which shows the love and interest of the director for this world of incredible powers and for his original characters. Thanks Mr. Shyamalan, you are my new hero now in my collection of movies (and comics ;D). Glass deserves between 7 and 9, not 4. (a****les)

Okey criticos, vamos a hablar seriamente: no tenéis ni p**a idea de criticar películas. La calificación de Glass es absurda comparada con la historia profunda que ha creado el señor Shyamalan en su maravillosa triología.

Brillantes, inteligentes e inesperados giros de guión, interesante proceso de creación de estos tres heroes y villanos, su conexión y sociabilidad. No llegué a imaginar que una película como "El Protegido" daría lugar a un gran juego para los espectadores y haciendo gritar en las butacas a los amantes de los cómics, que fueron muy bien homenajeados con guiños y lazos combinados con la que posiblemente sea una de las mejores triologías de héroes que he visto en mi vida. Vale, puede que no sea tan misteriosa o aterradora como "Múltiple" o no tenga un lento pero marcado ritmo como "El Protegido", pero esto se defiende y argumenta gracias a su conclusión sensacional, que nos muestra el amor e interés del director a este mundo de poderes increíbles y, como no, a sus personajes originales.

Leaving the merits of its predecessors aside, GlassAfter an hour of slow pacing, that has you on the edge of your seat, Glass delivers a rather superb turnover by presenting a payoff that will keep you smiling until the end credits roll. Leaving the merits of its predecessors aside, Glass succeeds in making you empathize with its supposedly "superhuman" cast along with the seemingly normal array of supporting characters. Impressive use of camerawork to appropriately frame the various states of each character without confusing the audience. The soundtrack felt right and was never blaring but also not silent enough to keep your feelings on the same string. James McAvoy continues with his impressive skillset of portraying the most amount of characters an actor has ever played. Each personality really did house a different person because of his acting. Samuel Jackson's performance gives a light-hearted tone to the film, a testament to his commitment to the "villain" role. Bruce Willis' continues his style of acting from 'Unbreakable', which in my opinion is the best use of him as an actor.

After a series of debacles with big-budgeted movies, returning to form IS the best path for Shyamalan. There were no flashy capes, big explosions or snarky one-liners as is the standard for superhero films nowadays and that's a good thing. The best thing even. What Shyamalan did to his way of approaching things can be seen in this film that gets closer to the heart even with various subtleties.

Shyamalan grounded himself like Glass was grounded in reality, and, more importantly, empathy. And in so doing, he's made a film that truly does shatter expectations like the paper-mache bones of the lovable titular character.… Expand

Some questions remain unanswered (I'm guessing very purposefully), but the movie did exactly what we wanted... It wrapped up the story line with us looking forward to the potential Shyamalan twist. Once again the acting by McAvoy was FANTASTIC (He's truly a talent), though everyone else was great as well (not wanting to dismiss the talent of the rest of the cast).

I loved this film! I also hated it! I'll explain. I absolutely loved 98% of this movie. The first 98% of it. There are parts and scenes that are mesmerizing and just plain brilliant! In fact, it's only the last 10 minutes or so, that it lets us down. All acting efforts are done superbly well, especially James McAvoy. I mean...James McAvoy could be pound for pound one of the most talented actors in the business today. He's that fantastic in this film. He actually steals the show from two legendary actors in Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson. There are just so many incredible moments here, but the reason why it doesn't hit a home run is really because the ending sees a "Kill them all and let God sort them out" approach. In fact, I'm going to go so far as to compare the last 10 minutes to that of The Last Jedi. It really comes down to poor writing leading to an unfulfilled character arch. When a character the fans (including myself) have devoted so much time and reverence to, ends up dying due to very lame reasons, it leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Bruce Willis is drowned in a pothole. In a literal pothole. James McAvoy gets shot by a sniper. And Mr.Glass is punched in the stomach. God I just can't believe how bad they fd up this ending.

My only advice for someone going to see this is, do not go with the mindset that this is a generic super hero movie. There are no flashy action scenes like you would expect from a Marvel or DC movie. As most M. Night Shyamalan film's, what carries the film is his ability to get the best performance out of the actors & actresses involved with the "obvious" twist at the end. Obvious meaning that it's not an M. Night Shyamalan movie without the obligatory twist you thought you would never see coming.

It is a good movie, far from a perfect one in fact. Though it was able to keep my interest right to the end. I am glad I did not allow the critics review sway me from seeing the final chapter to M.

The film isNote: I advise you watch Unbreakable and Split before reading any reviews for Glass.
Glass is an alternative take on the superhero origin story as David Dunn and Kevin Wendell Crumb start to question their supernatural abilities.
The film is set in the same universe as M. Night Shyamalan previous films Unbreakable and Split. All the main cast from the previous films reprise their characters in this film.The main cast consists of James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L Jackson, Sarah Paulson and Anya Taylor-Joy.
It deviates from the traditional superhero genre by focusing on the psychology of its main characters and doesn't rely on big action set pieces to intrigue its audience. The film follows themes established in the first film in the series Unbreakable and only brings in certain aspects that were established in its sequel Split.
If your favourite film in the series so far was Unbreakable you will enjoy Glass because of their shared similarities.
The similarities in both films allows the mystery surrounding the series to finally come to a close. This trilogy started nineteen years ago and is impressive that the series has maintained its level of quality after all this time. You can tell that the director M. Night Shyamalan is passionate about the series as he doesn't normally do sequels to his films. He has also confirmed he will not produce a sequel to Glass so this film is the final entry in the series.
M. Night Shyamalan's has redeemed himself with this latest release after he released the critically panned The Last Airbender and The Happening in the 2000's which tainted his filmography.
The writing in the film is questionable at times as some conversations in the film can come across as unnatural. I believe this is due to issues with the script and isn't caused by the acting featured in the film. James McAvoy's performance in the film is a real showcase of his acting range as he effortlessly interchanges between the twenty-four personalities his character possesses. With the surprise inclusion of Black Panther being nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards this year, it would be outrageous if James McAvoy isn't considered for a best actor nomination.
The run time for the film clocks in at 2hr 9 minutes which is needed to establish the connections for all the characters from the previous two films. This doesn't affect the pace of the film and compliments the film's climax well.
Glass received an age rating of 15 in the United Kingdom, so it is targeting a mature audience and will be inappropriate for younger audiences. This is due to the inclusion of graphic violence and swearing.
The film seems to have been faced with mixed reviews with critics. At the time of writing this, review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes awarded it 37% while its competitor Metacritic gave it 42 which is lower than the two previous films. This can be subject to change in the following weeks.
Glass is a great film for fans of the franchise but does require you to be familiar with the previous films to enjoy it. It is also one of the first major releases of the year, so I believe it will do extremely well at the box office due to the lack of competition.… Expand

If i did have one criticism, it would be the third act, to me at least, felt like it dragged on, and it could have easily been shortened. I'm not saying this movie is a masterpiece, but I won't say it's "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie"; My criteria for a film is 'was i entertained?', and honestly this movie is highly entertaining, and well put together for the most part. Again, this is just my opinion, you really have to see the movie for yourself in order to get the review you want, since everyone has mixed feelings on the film.… Expand

I honestly wonder if a lot of critics went in expecting an ACTUAL superhero film rather than one that is quite literally about examining what it might look like if supernatural beings were really among us. My advice, go see it but keep in mind that it had a budget of $20 million (no, I didn't accidentally leave off a zero) and think about the ways it subverts the genre while still being a part of it. A solid, clever film.… Expand

It's certainly not perfect - and I'd admit I wanted it to be a traditional super hero movie going in and was initially dissapointed that it wasn't - but its still a good, enjoyable movie (with flaws). Too many people are expecting a traditional super hero movie with this movie but forgetting this was never a traditional super hero franchise. Unbreakable and Split are unconventional, quirky, slow movies. Also important is that this director does not make traditional super hero movies. He makes movies that defy audience expectations. This movie definitely does that, and that's its strength. The third finale to the trilogy is different, its bold, and it goes against the expectations of your traditional super hero movie, and ends the trilogy in a way that is consistent with what we are familiar with in the director's previous movies (including those in the trilogy). I applauded this movie for finding a different way to do a superhero movie, and think this is one of the "good" M. Night movies, and would watch it again. A worthy part of the trilogy, even if I don't agree with all the choices in this movie.… Expand

It has an epic start and a very good 2nd act. The ending might be "split" but the "glass" is "unbreakable" personally. I think its worth a watch and is mostly good with a bit of bad.

Eastrail 177 trilogy, a franchise we didn’t expect to exist or needed, but M. Night Shyamalan surprise us once again with his twist and turns.

After the unexpected hit of ‘Split’, people were warming up for Shyamalan’s follow up ‘Glass’, and the return of familiar faces like David Dunn, Kevin and Mr. Glass himself. By continuing with the grounded approach towards superheroes while making the fantasy aspects implanted into reality. And of course the unnatural dialogue, a usual trademark for Shyamalan. While I don’t think ‘Glass’ is as bad as people made it out to be, but not to say it’s perfect or great, just plenty of missed opportunities in an already solid conclusion.

M. Night Shyamalan manage to craft a trilogy that took him over a decade to make. If you keep in mind of how popular superheroes are now - this stands out from the rest, as being both compelling and meaningful. While Shyamalan is a 50/50 director, but I can tell there’s passion in everything he makes, even if it doesn’t work out and makes questionable decisions. His ego died along time ago and him going back to smaller budget movies is the right move. There’s plenty of long times, close ups and a clever way of structuring the films pace. We start with Dunn, then we follow Kevin, and finally Elijah. Coincidence?

The cinematography is solid with a beautiful mixture of colours and the music perfectly fits with the characters and story.

James McAvoy returns as Kevin, the man with crowded personalities with an extra set of new faces. It’s amazing how McAvoy can switch between the different characters and make it look so effortlessly, sometimes in a blink of an eye. A mixture of colorful personalities with comedic moments, but there are personalities that can be vicious and a force to be reckon with. So it comes to no surprise he’s the strongest element of this movie.

Now I joked in the past about Bruce Willis cold attitude towards his recent roles. I mean, just watch the ‘RED 2’ interview, it’s hilarious how he doesn't hide it. When Willis cares, he’s great, so it’s incredibly sad seeing him lose any care to not only in his performances, but in film choices. In 'Glass', Willis is stilted, but at the same time grounded in his reactions and facial expressions. There was a point midway through through where the film seemed to forget about Dunn. While not a come back role, but at least I see his interest in the story, character and director. By the way, I’m still a fan of him.

Samuel L. Jackson is great as the genius, yet wickedly evil Mr. Glass. Despite his disease (brittle bone disease) keeping him permanent in a wheelchair, but that doesn't stop him. It’s psychological manipulation that gives him power and makes him truly dangerous. There’s a great little moment in a scene (without spoilers) where he watches someone die right in front of him, and he leans forward and watches in amusement.

The other supporting cast are pretty good as well. Anya Taylor-Joy is good as always, but unfortunately doesn’t have anything to do here. I’m glad they brought back Spencer Treat Clark, who played David Dunn’s son in ‘Unbreakable’ and now working with his dad to track down and stop criminal activity. He really gives an emotional performance, especially towards the end. Sarah Paulson is fine in the movie, but I don’t like where her character goes in the third act, which goes into my issues.

As I said before, it’s a flawed movie. While I thought the second act was still pretty good, but was nowhere near as solid as the first act. I’ve got mixed feelings about the ending, because at first I like how bleak it is, basically saying in real life, the villains win. However, the twist itself gets so bizarre it leaves more holes in the story.

Overall rating: A clunky movie that will popularize audiences for along time, but at least didn’t play it safe like most superhero movies.

Now I haven’t seen Unbreakable yet but I still felt like I understood everything that David and Elijah stood for. I had already seen Split, the other movie in this series, so I already knew how great James McAvoy would be in this movie. He just brings so much energy to each and every single personality making them all seem like a different person. Some of the side characters though didn’t stand out as much for me and just seemed two dimensional. One of them being the doctor. She had no major character development and just seemed like a last minute addition. Spencer Treat Clark, who plays Joseph Dunn, brought nothing to the film and just seemed really bland. Just like any M. Night Shyamalan, there is a plot twist but in this film, there isn’t just one, not two but three. One of them is actually really good and will shock people but the other two are just dumb and should’ve just been taken out. This film is two hours and six minutes long and man does it feel longer than that. There were some parts that were enticing for me and brought me into the story but a majority of the film had me zoning out a lot. The film had my attention for one of the final scenes in the film and that was really it. This film feels like three different movies as well. There were some awkward transitions in this film and some weird moments where the camera was shaking. In the end, Glass in a decent film that I think could have and should’ve been better.… Expand
