Review of Glass

Glass (2019)
8/10
A worthy follow-up which could have done more
20 May 2019
This third act of Shyamalan's universe of extraordinary individuals brings together many characters from "Split" and "Unbreakable", letting them do precisely what they do best. The plot is quite interesting, taking advantage of the protagonists' skills and building suspense upon them. It keeps the viewer interested at all times, inserting something new from time to time while maintaining the bar up. The characters are the same as in the previous movies, well played by their actors and very enjoyable to watch. The movie also has a couple of twists up its sleeve which it uses with skill and I liked it a lot how it explains every single one of them towards the end.

Unfortunately, the conclusion let quite a lot to be desired. Although it comes with its own twist and opens a new world to be discovered, it seems to end a bit abrupt with little satisfaction. The way its main characters are treated is quite disappointing in my opinion. Another downside worth mentioning is the lack of action. Although it is focused on the brainy side of the characters as the title suggests, even when it gets the chance to expose some quality action, it gives the impression that it's shy about it, giving only small hints of what the characters can actually do.

Overall, it's a good follow-up to the previously mentioned two, with a good plot and the same great characters, but it left the impression that it could have done more in terms of finale and action.
