Author Topic: Glass (2019) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 01-17-2019 10:00 PM                        CINEMA: Regal Warren East, Wichita, KS AUDITORIUM: 14, SEAT: G15 PRESENTATION: Warren GRAND slope auditorium with Regal Roller Coaster Vision PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: There’s like 20 people here and YET AGAIN the seat kicker has to sit RIGHT BEHIND ME. Also, his stupid kid kept asking questions of his mother through the movie (“Mommy? Is this a scary part?” “Mommy? Is that guy dead?” “Mommy? Is that guy bald?”) RATING: Three stars (out of four) THE PLOT: David catches Multiple Personality Guy and they BOTH get thrown in the looney bin. Wackiness ensues. For fans of Split or Unbreakable (I fall in the latter...it’s my favorite Shyamalan movie), this is going to prove a very polarizing feature. It’s slow and not very likeable for a long time for a multitude of reasons, but it gets better as it goes. It has no less than three Shyamalan plot twists at the end. Part of the end doesn’t make any sense, but that part didn’t make sense at the beginning either. I probably should have gone two and one half stars based on that, but somehow my mind said “three” when the credits rolled. If you’ve never seen Unbreakable and Split or didn’t care for them, there’s no reason to see this. At all.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 01-27-2019 04:54 PM                     Well, M. Night Shyamalan now made THREE watchable movies in a row: The Visit (2015), Split (2016) and now we got Glass (2019). Let's hope it doesn't end here and we don't yet again go down the path of the Village, all the way down to After Earth. The novelty of Glass is that it's M. Night's first sequel movie. But it's not just the sequel for Split, it's also the sequel for Unbreakable. Slight spoiler alert beyond this line: While some seem to be put off by the ending, I actually liked the idea of some kind of "Inverse Shield" secret society keeping things at bay. I'll hope he will revisit the idea and give it more depth, without recooking old story material.  |  IP: Logged
