In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).
Glass G
Split wasn’t even
a sequel to Unbreakable; it just
existed in the same comic book-inspired universe concocted by M. Night
Shyamalan and you didn’t know so until the end.
This is technically a sequel to both, technically making all three films
a trilogy. Yes, you do have to watch Unbreakable and Split before watching this to get a full understanding of the
characters (at least the three played by Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and
James McAvoy). Even though I am a fan of
M. Night, I’ll admit I didn’t intend to see this right away (although
definitely eventually) as it didn’t look too good and the low rating on Rotten
Tomatoes didn’t alter that. After some
thought though and knowing not to listen to critics (whether good or bad) since
I’m one too (as well as anyone, naturally), plus having a free movie pass and wanting
to see for my damn self, I went for it. Also, if you’re a fan of M. Night and/or saw Unbreakable and Split, do you really think you can allow yourself to not watch this? (I understand not everyone has OCD like me
but still). Unbreakable and Split
weren’t great but I still liked them and I pretty much felt the same way about
this which makes it a good companion piece, and I can honestly say I enjoyed
this more than many films actually based on comic books. You might need to hold your judgment until
it’s over because I thought it was the plain kind of good for a bit before
being cleverly tied up as Mr. Shyamalan knows how, poignantly even. 1/30/2019
