Glass (2019)★ 6.6/10

It’s clear this script was rushed out by an overly ambitious Shyamalan. While Unbreakable and Split had their structural flaws, they managed to fill in the plot holes. This sequel, however, is completely stuck in a logical black hole. The visuals and sound design don't match the appeal of the first two films either, and the whole thing feels rushed and slapped together.

I just can’t appreciate the awkward stitching of three stories here.

What stands out in this film is its philosophical approach, offering a contemplative take amidst the global craze for superhero stories. It challenges the romanticism of superheroes, pulling them back into the realm of reality. I’d prefer heroes who are genuine, ordinary people—just a bit different from us, but definitely not men in iron suits.

M. Night Shyamalan’s best works often finds a unique angle within the framework of a traditional commercial thriller, but this time, his attempt to create a universe of superhumans feels rather ordinary.

The two-hour runtime felt like an endurance test. The fragmented plot and dull dialogue failed to create engaging characters, and having multiple personalities doesn't make the character any more complex. Samuel L. Jackson's performance felt stiff and unconvincing. It's hard to believe this was directed by the same person who made “The Sixth Sense”.

Despite expectations, the final installment is just as underwhelming as the previous two films. James McAvoy’s constant switching between personalities feels more like a showcase of his acting skills than a plot necessity. When you think about it, only a few personalities stand out, so why exaggerate things by adding so many others?

GLASS es una gran película para quienes siguieron la trilogía. Aun así, ¡sigue siendo excelente!

É claro que este roteiro foi feito às pressas por um Shyamalan excessivamente ambicioso. Embora Corpo Fechado e Fragmentado tenham suas falhas estruturais, eles conseguiram preencher as lacunas da trama. Esta sequência, no entanto, está completamente presa em um buraco negro lógico. O visual e o design de som também não combinam com o apelo dos dois primeiros filmes, e a coisa toda parece apressada e remendada.

Eu simplesmente não consigo gostar do jeito que costuraram as três histórias aqui.

Está claro que este guion fue apresurado por un Shyamalan demasiado ambicioso. Aunque Unbreakable y Split tenían sus fallos estructurales, consiguieron rellenar los agujeros argumentales. Esta secuela, sin embargo, está completamente atascada en un agujero negro de falta de lógica. Los efectos visuales y el diseño de sonido tampoco están a la altura del atractivo de las dos primeras películas, y todo parece precipitado e improvisado.

No puedo apreciar la película por el mal montaje de las tres historias.

Lo que destaca de esta película es su enfoque filosófico, que ofrece una mirada contemplativa en medio de la moda mundial por las historias de superhéroes. Desafía el romanticismo de los superhéroes, devolviéndolos al reino de la realidad. Preferiría héroes que fueran gente genuina y común, sólo un poco diferentes a nosotros, pero definitivamente no hombres con trajes de hierro.
