Glass Review


Glass was a great end to the series despite some issues in its third act. This movie is about David Dunn, who after the end of Split, is hunting down the Horde while the shadowy presence of Mr. Glass looms over them. Bruce Willis gives a great performance. It's a quiet subdued performance at times, but it is easily his best performance in years. James McAvoy gives an incredible performance. The way he is able to switch between so many different personalities so quickly is amazing. Samuel L. Jackson gives a really good performance though he is mostly sidelined in the first half. The scenes between him and McAvoy are a real treat to watch. Anya Taylor-Joy gives a great performance. The direction they take her character is unexpected, but she plays it well. Sarah Paulson gives a decent performance though some of her scenes towards the end are too cheesy. Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard give really good performances in smaller roles. M. Knight Shyamalan did a great job directing though he does overuse POV shots. The script is fantastic untill the very end. There are some creative decisions made in the third act that a lot of people will hate and I'm still undecided how I feel about them. At 129 minutes the movie moves at a consistent pace that will fly by faster depending on your connection to these characters. Overall, Glass has some minor issues and an ending I am still processing, but overall was a great movie that kept me invested from start to finish.

8.5/10
