For me it holds up for totally different reasons. I looked at it as a orgin story the second time around and it was obvious on the second pass.

Impressions for M.Night Shyamalan's Glass incoming

For me it holds up for totally different reasons. I looked at it as a orgin story the second time around and it was obvious on the second pass.
Probably. It's called Glass, so there must be a twist about him specifically. Maybe he really is more than just a dude with a super fragile body or maybe he's just completely paralysed and all three movies are the fantasies of a guy that can't even move without breaking his own bones.
This is a beautiful video that perfectly encompasses my feelings about this beautiful movie. Thanks for sharing it, seriously.
This guy goes into EVERY single Glass thread and posts the same thing.
We get it guy, your friend didn't like some really early screening of the movie. Thanks for repeating this 100 times already .
So far your friend has been the only negative word on this film from early reports.
Chill. I'm mostly curious to see if my pal was on the money or not.
Why are people still interested in posting about their dislike of early impressions in early impressions threads?
The soundtrack is wonderful, and the movie is very easy on the eyes. I also like the messiness of Lady in the Water, and its music.
The only Shyamalan movie I actively dislike is The Happening. Otherwise, I've always found something interesting to talk about in his flicks. Even The Last Airbender and is weirdness.
I didn't understand the connection with the ending as I hadn't watched Unbreakable or knew of the Universe. I thought it was great as a standalone movie. The cast is great with McAvoy being a standout.
I think you're mistaken. Samuel L Jackson plays Will Graham's boss in Hannibal.
In case anyone thinks we're both idiots...
William Hurt and BDH are at the top of their game man. Just masterclass shit.
I'm just worried about his mental state. There have been some rumours that he has some form of early onset.
I didn't think much of it at the time but was confused to see a lot of headlines about the shock ending. Girlfriend filled me in and ended up reading about the connection.
I've got to watch it at some point before this comes out.
And you still haven't watched Unbreakable?! Stop everything and do it now!
Really liked split and unbreakable.
Im steering clear of spoilers expecting weird shit to be going on in this film

I have to wonder how much buying into his own hype cause his downfall.
I still remember Lady in the Water, where he cast himself as some genius author that would inspire the next POTUS and would be killed and martyred.
Like, Jesus that's egotistical.
I get the doubt with festival movies, but people who go to early screenings want to let people know when something great is coming.
I hyped the shit out of John Wick when I got out of a screening and had no clue it'd be as well received as it was. People put themselves out on a limb with these.
A spoiler from redditt supposedly claims
There's Unused footage from Unbreakable being used in the movie
I mean...there's literally news articles out there already confirming that.
The Visit and Split didn't really have a twist like his previous films
David Dunn at the end of Split was maybe a twist but it was just a set up basically.
Yeah I havent watched The Visit but I kinda consider the ending of Split to be one, as before that you have no idea it's a sequel to Unbreakable
David was still pretty much a 'twist' for viewers, which is what people mean I assume. And The Visit...
Finding out they're from a psych ward and not the grandparents is definitely the twist.
But they're not "he was dead the whole time" twist
Or the aliens in Signs
Or "The Monsters" in The Village being the villagers in an outfit
Haha where did you see that, because I had the EXACT same theater reaction when a trailer for Devil played when I saw Inception I think it was? All groans and laughs. Made me sad.
Now he's on a roll since ppl really likes the visit too... and I'm super stoked for glass
*shrug* It's pretty much exactly the same concept as the 'monsters' in The Village to me. They're something completely else and surprise you. Tomato-tomahto I guess.
Anything over 70% and I'm cool
People are such assholes/so fucking stupid.

It doesn't really change the story though.
To me a twist is something that dramatically alters the perception of past events in the story.
Glass is unique but it's not a classic twist.
A lot of M Nights movies have pretty basic suspense / thriller twists too. Signs and The Village are the only ones that really are crazy twists.
The Village is one of my favorites too and is so heartbreaking. The stabbing scene is so horrible
Wow! I hate people grabbing every opportunity for any kind of attention, regardless being bored or not. Just get the fuck out.
