Review of Glass (2019) by Trineo99 — 19 Jan 2019

First of all, all three of the main leads did marvellous jobs as their characters. 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.
