Review of Glass (2019) by Highheelknight — 24 Jan 2019
"Glass" is a good movie, but it is not good enough for 2019. "Unbreakable" came out in 2000, the year that "X-Men" sparked a superhero renaissance. If "Split" and "Glass" could have shifted back 6 to 10 years, as the MCU brought a new renaissance, then Shyamalan's trilogy would have been brilliant.
Today, superhero projects dominate movies and television, from "Watchmen", "Deadpool", "Avengers", and the Arrowverse to "The Incredibles", "Big Hero 6", "The Lego Batman Movie", and TWO types of Teen Titans.
All seven of the main actors of "Glass" have been in superhero or comic book projects as well. The world has elevated past with Shyamalan wants to offer. "Glass" is worth seeing, but it is too late to the superhero party.
Don't see it in Imax either.
