On the other hand, I saw
Glass tonight. Ohhhh boyyyyyy
Like I don't like M. Night. Sixth Sense was good, Unbreakable was actually pretty clever and great, and everything after that was barely passable leading to shitty fucking stories with a TWIST. I didn't like The Visit which was his first well reviewed movie in a while and I didn't bother watching Split because after The Visit got good reviews I didn't really trust good reviews with M. Night movies. I did get Split spoiled early on in its theater run so I just read the story summary and watched some clips and I was good.
Also with 30% RT I wasn't expecting much. But I did like that Unbreakable! They called me Mr. Glass is still a great clever line in the day before comic book movie breakout. Kinda like the more clever bits of Kick Ass where it aped superhero movies and parodied them but also was a superhero film.
Anyhow, first 30 mins of Glass...ok
Next 30-60 mins of Glass....yeah, this movie has huge pacing issues, is pointless, nothing happens, so many plots holes, this is dumb and really implausible and everyone acts like an idiot, I see why it's at 30% but eh, still ok I guess, let's see how it plays out in the end
Last 15 mins...wow......yikes.....are you fucking kidding me? Oh maaaaan. Did M.Night write this story on a toilet paper roll when he was taking a shit in 15 mins?
So yeah, uh, I'd give this movie
0/5 stars and I'm pretty sure the final 15 mins of the movie will be the worst 15 mins of any film I see in 2019. The movie was pointless, it makes almost NO LOGICAL SENSE, it has these related family characters and makes ZERO SENSE what it is doing with them, and that ending is just straight up insulting af. Like it takes the memories of what I liked about Unbreakable and just shits on them which makes me kinda angry. Like sure it's his characters, his story so he can do whatever he wants with them, but good for you M. Night, you fucked a chicken in front of everyone, who gives a fuck. You're not clever, hip or shocking, you just made a movie about nothing and thought you were clever doing it.
Pretty much just made it real easy to never bother watching another M. Night movie after this.
spoiler (click to show/hide)
For once in his fucking life, this movie didn't need a TWIST because it just made the movie stupid as fuck and nonsensible the entire movie to try to make it work and it's not even a good twist.
Essentially a shoot the shaggy dog ending, and M. Night hasn't earned that at all and he's not cool enough to pull it off.
