"Glass"...sigh. M. Night, M. Night, M. Night...DAFUQ?! Lemme start of by giving it a 4 stars out of 5...and that's being generous.


SOOOOOOOO this is the most uneven movie that I've ever liked. And what's crazy is watching it feels like different people wrote it; nope just one.


The story picks up 19 years after "Unbreakable" the movie about a vigilant who cannot break a bone, get sick, and has super human strength nicknamed by the media as The Overseer (Bruce Willis). Still reeling from finding out Elijah Price "Mr. Glass" (Samuel L. Jackson), the man with brittle bone disease, caused horrific accidents around the world for decades including the train wreck David was the sole survivor of, simply to find him. David has his own home security business with his son Joseph (Julianne Moore's hot son she gave up for adoption Spencer Treat Clark). When David and Joseph find out Kevin Crumb a man with multiple personalities (expertly played by James MacAvoy) is holding another set of girls hostage, they go on a stakeout to find him. When the girls are rescued, the police decide to arrest both David and Kevin (David's vigilante justice doesn't sit well with the police). Instead of carting them off to jail they go to Raven Hill Hospital head up by Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson) who doesn't believe in superheroes. Oddly enough it's the same place Eljiah Price has been for 19 years. When Elijah gets wind of David and Kevin in the hospital with him, he hatches a plan to expose the world to their superhero abilities.


No spoilers sorry! But again sounds amazing especially for movie fans like me. But here we go again with M. Night Shyamalan writing characters as fools as he did in Split. Characters are standing and staring instead of running, talking instead of fighting, and going out towards danger instead of away. I understand dramatic license, but when you have such a well-laid perfectly crafted plot to dumb down the characters cheapens the plot. I will say his last minute plot twists...there were too many. The first one was a good twist, second one wasn't, then third one made up for the second one being so bad and unnecessary.


Again overall a good movie, just wish the plot and the characters matched. I fully expect a sequel. And I will watch that too probably :)
