Glass (2019)

It is hard to believe it has been 19 years since “Unbreakable” arrived in cinemas as the film seemed to setup a sequel but it did not look like it would come to fruition. That all changed in 2016 when “Split” arrived and shocked audiences with a late reveal that showed a connection to the film. Writer/Director M. Night Shyamalan has wasted no time in bringing the new film to fans with the arrival of “GLASS”. The film picks up soon after the events of “Split” as The Horde embodied by 23 personalities in the form of Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy) continues to kidnap young girls to serve to his highly dangerous 24th personality The Beast. Security expert David Dunn (Bruce Willis) along with the help of his son attempts to locate the Horde as a new group of girls has gone missing. In time David locates The Beast and the two clash; but end up captured by authorities a…

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :) You all know how anxious I was about this movie. I’m a huge fan of Shyamalan, and I know how hard it is to try to defend a director who made The Last Airbender. Every time I offer undeniable proof of masterful filmmaking, I get overwhelmed with questions about his absurd twists and his cringe-worthy dialogues. Shyamalan is a bit like Kevin, he also has different personalities, depending on the films he releases. On one side, he is a phenomenal filmmaker who knows his craft better than anyone and who once was nicknamed “the second Spielberg”. A screenwriter who delivers mind-blowing plot twists and extremely captivating dialogue scenes. On the other side, there’s a guy who ruins entire movies with frustrating twists that no one asked for and with arguably horrible decisions regarding his characters. So, to e…

Wow! It was just...wow! M. Night Shyamalan finally made a worthwhile film, especially in a trilogy.

I love these characters. I love the cast. I did not love the ending but... Eh, can't have everything. James McAvoy is so damn awesome with the multiple personalities his character has. And to me, this is one of Samuel L Jackson's best roles. Bruce Willis always delivers his bad ass persona in a way relateable by all who watch his films.

Glass (2019) is an interesting conclusion to M. Night Shyamalan’s unconventional superhero trilogy, but I’ll admit, it didn’t quite hit the same sweet spot as Unbreakable or Split. While it ties the threads of these worlds together, the magic felt a little dimmer this time around. That said, there are some genuinely impressive moments that make it worth the watch. James McAvoy is the real MVP here. Once again, his performance as Kevin Wendell Crumb (and his many personalities) is mind-blowing. You can tell he’s putting his all into each character shift, especially when The Beast takes over. And Anya Taylor-Joy? She brought a depth and warmth to Casey Cooke that made her scenes stand out. Honestly, I was always drawn in when she was on screen. She gave the movie a kind of emotional grounding that it really needed. The story tries to pull off something bold by questioning the…
