As far as Shyamalan movies are concerned I deemed Unbreakable (2000) to be one of the better ones. Though I can confidently say I never saw the potential of a sequel let alone a trilogy.
Combining all the characters from Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016) for one final showdown we see this unexpectedly lengthy story come to a close, but did it deliver?
Well I expected the worst, though not terrible I certainly never got on the Split (2016) bandwagon. McAvoy was great, but I don't think the film was. I was however very curious what they were going to do here and it had peaked my interest.
Sadly I don't think Glass is great and certainly not as clever as I foolishly expected it to be. Big finale twist? Absolutely, several in fact but they were hardly unexpected nor shocking.
The cast delivered and it all looked the part but the trilogy needed to end on something big and I just don't think it did. It ended with a nod instead of a cheer and despite my opinion of the franchise I still felt it deserved better.
Passable stuff, entirely watchable but this franchise hasn't left me understanding its critical acclaim in the remotest.
The Good:
Decent performances
A culmination of an almost 20yr story
The Bad:
Certain elements make little to no sense
Underwhelming and hardly a "Smart" film
