Glass

Shyamalan reaches the rock bottom of hacky gimmicks and clueless storytelling.

The big reveal isn't something that was hidden, but that there wasn't really anything of substance to reveal all along.

To quote Mr Glass, this is supposed to be an origins story. However, during the 19 years between Glass and Unbreakable, there are better ones out there.

On its own, Glass isn't a well-rounded standalone film.

Like a mosaic put together by a not-gifted preschooler. It just doesn't come together.

Well worth checking out, Glass may not be the Unbreakable sequel some fans were hoping for but it definitely doesn't disappoint and is an absolute blast.

This is otherwise, weirdly, just amateur-hour at the movies and a big disappointment.

The direction and performances are great, but some questionable decisions are made for where the story goes, and the end product feels underwhelming.

Glass - the finale of M. Night Shyamalan's surprise Unbreakable trilogy - is ambitious and wild. It works completely in some aspects and fails in others. But I'm glad that it exists.

For a series that tried so hard to fight against being a typical superhero narrative, Glass falls victim to some of the worst narrative proclivities of modern superhero films
