In Theaters: January 18, 2019

There is only one to talk about today.

Glass


Well, the return of Mr. Glass has been a long time coming, hasn't it?

I should mention that Split had what was for me, personally, the greatest twist of all time.  I had the twist in The Sixth Sense spoiled for me when I was a kid, so I never really experienced the full effect.  But I had absolutely no idea about the twist at the end of Split, and it truly blew my mind.  You can ask my friend, Kela.  He was there.  He saw it happen.

Split was also too gross of a movie for me to ever want to see again, unfortunately.

Anyway, here we are at Glass, and now Mr. Glass and Split guy (Legion?  Do they call him Legion?) are teaming up against David Dunn.

M. Night I'm-not-even-gonna-try-to-spell-his-last-name was WAY ahead of his time with Unbreakable back in 2000.  Superhero films weren't even a big deal yet and he was already pulling them apart and putting them back together in interesting ways.  That practice didn't even become mainstream until, like, 2014 (you could make the argument for 2004 with The Incredibles).  Crazy.

Critics don't like Glass very much, but the audience score is at a sturdy 78%.  So I'd say it's probably pretty good.

Glass is rated PG-13 for violence including some bloody images, thematic elements, and language.
