Review of Glass (2019) by Kirollos-Noah — 22 Feb 2019

Glass is directed and written by M. Night Shyamalan, with a simple role as we saw him in Unbreakable and Split. Starring James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Anya Taylor-Joy and Sarah Paulson.

Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass. Joining from Split are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast. Following the conclusion of Split, Glass finds Dunn pursuing Crumb's superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.

Glass was one of my anticipating movies list since I watched Split and surprisingly reveal that it's a sequel to the 2000's Unbreakable, which I liked. So yeah, I was very excited to see these three characters gathering together in one movie.. sadly it's the last movie of that trilogy.. and we will get to that ending in the spoiler review. But for now, let's do the spoiler-free review!

Okay, as the title says "Underrated, but disappointing" the movie is underrated, but let me say that it's not, because not everyone is gonna like this movie.. yeah, maybe underrated, but still disappointing. The first act of this movie was pretty cool, I loved it, the third act also is pretty, no no.. the final fight, because it was pretty epic I enjoyed it very much.. the conclusion and the ending were a little bit messy, the twist was cool, but the "character" wasn't that convincing, and I felt like it's not how this character should've been, because it reminded me with Unbreakable, and how it was rushed, Glass is giving us a little more surprising one, but not well crafted.

The second act is my biggest flaw with this movie, it was super slow, and confusing.. like how Glass is getting out of his cage? How is he just getting in any room he wants with no keys? Also it's not what you wanted to see from these characters, especially Anya Taylor-Joy, I loved her in Split, but in this one.. she's just there. I mean Spencer Treat Clark had a better role in this movie. Sarah Paulson is also bad, I didn't like her character which was "You're not that, you're that!", even her performance was emotionless and in the second act she was just there to go to a room from a room to say and to give us info we already know or ones that we don't care about! So yeah, the second act was new for this trilogy,but still it lacks a lot!

James McAvoy is pretty good in this movie just as he was in Split, once more he's the best thing in the movie but I have a flaw with it, which is a spoiler so, I'm gonna talk about it in the spoiler review... Bruce Willis is very good as well, but I have the same flaw which I found with James McAvoy's character, but even more! Samuel L. Jackson is not there most of the movie, but once he's there, he gave the movie a good spirit!! He has also one of the best scenes in the whole trilogy, as we saw in the trailer, when he was moving with his wheelchair and the beast the killing some people behind him, that was pretty cool!

Glass disappointed me, but still it's a fresh movie and I'm gonna give it a positive review, don't get me wrong, but I like Split more, but in the mean while, I liked it a little bit more than Unbreakable. I'm gonna give Glass a B!
