The problem with Glass is that M. Night is just a bad director

The strength of Glass is Jackson and McAvoy

Bruce Willis is garbage as expected. Don't think he has had a good performance since the 90's

if you wanna see a couple bits and pieces of good acting mixed together with shit then go see this movie
 
Haven't seen it, but the way they're playing up the "superhero" aspect in the trailers turns me off. That was a theme of "Unbreakable" that was just there for people to figure out while watching it. It was subtle. The promotion for this flick is just a little too on the nose, and it comes across really forced and lame. A bit of a red flag for me.

What was subtle about it? They literally showed the dude owning a comic art gallery.

There was nothing subtle about it at all

It was not promoted as a superhero movie. The superhero aspect in the movie wasn't blatant. Yes, Glass was a comic geek. He wasn't played up as some literal super villain, facing off against a superhero. He was just some fragile dude who was into comics.

This movie is literally Glass recruiting another villain to take on the superhero. Mcavoy is being played up as some kind of supernatural being. It's practically being promoted as a Marvel movie.

Yes, "Unbreakable" was far more subtle. You can watch that movie and not even have to make the comic book superhero connection, for it to work.

disagree, he's actually a great director. his directing style and technical ability is fuckin spectacular sometimes.

he's a pretty shit writer though. he got real fuckin cocky when he had a trinity of good movies, but then fuckin just went into dipshit land with the writing.

b/c that's always the complaint of his movies. it's never "wow that cinematography was just terrible," it's always "what the fuck happened just now, is that fuckin kid reading from a god damn cereal box."

He was pretty good in Looper.
 
@Madmick seems to be on a mission to trash professional critics every chance he gets. Even more than the average moviegoer.

Did a roaming gang of critics vandalize your house or something?
It's something I care deeply about that has been destroyed by power-hungry opportunists. It's an assault on the world of art itself, and the most influential medium of our time in art.

Yes, I am fiercely defensive of art. It is my church. It is sacred to me.

There was nothing subtle about it. It’s literally a good vs evil movie And they reference comic books almost instantly. It was as plain as the nose on your face

The worst is food critics. They ruin people's livelihood.
 
Just got back.

Its mildy disappointing. Mildly dull.

And yea, the ending isnt good. Its cocky though. Night wants us to ask who certain people are, but after what happenes to our characters, i didnt care.

Risky ending, but falls flat.


Not going to expand on the casts performances, they all do their job.
 
I am a huge fan of unbreakable and split so my expectations were high. It was decent. I thought the ending was a bit corny....and lazy. 7/10

It seems like the only movies that review well these days are Marvel movies, Star Wars, Oscar bait, or movies with social justice themes. All of these types of movies will get scores of at least 85% regardless of the actual quality of the movie. It's a real shit show.

I enjoyed Glass. It wasn't as good as Unbreakable or Split, but still very enjoyable. I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did, but I wouldn't go as far to say I disliked how it ended. It was kind of ballsy actually.
 
Over the past few years I've grown to not give much concern to RTs aggregate of professional film critics.

And the great thing is most others don't seem to care either.

Dragon Ball Super Broly has an 83% on RT
 
Found it pretty bad

Was bored out of my mind waiting for the movie to end for the last hour

3/10
 
I’m going to see it regardless of what other people say about it. I find that people are usually too critical of movies that have high expectations. I bet it’s good.

I personally enjoyed it saw it in the theater in arden area.

But critics can suck a fat nut

The actual job of being a critic is pathetic lol

Actually I agreed with this view until I actually watched GLASS. I went in thinking it was gonna suck donkey balls but it turned out to have a better understanding of comic books than Marvel's recent standard blockbuster crap.

If you like Avengers type movies, GLASS may not be for you.
