Review of Glass (2019) by Mb2Kforever — 24 Jan 2019
This movie is NOT 33%. Its not a D, or C movie - its a bold, different, and enjoyable super hero movie, and that's what people are faulting it for - that it's not a "Avengers" or "Spiderman".
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.
