Glass (2019)If, you are like me, at the end of Split (2016), you probably went,
OMG OMG (when
Bruce Willis/David Dunn appeared, proving that Split and Unbreakable is a shared universe)!!
I have to say, that this is quite a anticipated movie.
I have read many a reviews and have to add that most reviews I read were either undecided or negative.
So, I recently watched this and I like this movie.
I can understand why there were so much "hate" for this movie, and have to add, most people went in to watch the movie with certain expectation and was disappointed when they expectation was not met.
I have to say that this is
NOTHING like
Marvel/DC superheroes movies, and I don't think that is what
M. Night Shyamalan wanted to do.
This is very much a drama piece and Horde, The Overseer and Glass character get built upon.
Some claim that
Bruce Willis could have phone it in, and I think they are missing the point. The Oversea has been "doing" it for close to 20 years... He is tired.
Glass has been scheming for 20 years and The Horde is his opportunity to expand on his theory, on a much MUCH wider scale.
Yes, in the beginning, the movie went one way
The second act, went another, and the third act went in a totally different direction again and aI am actually fine with it.
The movie kept me on my toes, storywise.
Yes, this is a Blumhouse production (20 Million production budget) which is not even close to Avengers: Infinity Wars 300 million budget.
Having said the above, I still enjoyed this 20 million dollar budget movie, because, it has a story to tell, and it told it. Not many people appreciate the more original story and therefore the negative reviews.
To that I say, to each their own.
M. Night Shyamalan is a very detail oriented person, and based on this picture palette for the movie, it in itself tells a story.
Kudos Mr. Shyamalan, and I for one hope that movie story driven movie, derives from Glass.
I give this movie a 7/10.
Picture 7/10
Sound 8/10
As usual, My Two Sen
