McAvoy was great in this, but everyone else was kind of meh.

Mr. Glass' ENTIRE point was to prove to himself that he wasn't a mistake. He not only stated that in Unbreakable, he said this again in THIS FILM. Between the whole 19 years, after proving to himself that superheroes exist, you really do not think his reasoning has evolved? Nor we do not know if he has or haven't ratted out David Dunn, nobody would of believed it anyway because he's been locked up in the criminally insane asylum. The two things we DO KNOW is that
1. he still was having doubts and admitted as such, until he learned about Kevin and The Horde and 2. he figured out Dr. Staples ulterior motive which prompted him to do what he did by video record everything.
But his entire point that he wasn't no accident which was WHY it was important to him, not just to discover Dunn, but to put it out there that superheroes exist.

Bruh, it seems you are missing out on key details to suit the narrative that this movie makes sense when it doesn’t.

Again Elijah’s plan in unbreakable was to find his opposite to prove he wasn’t a mistake. Not to expose superheroes. To say his plan all along was to expose people with powers just ain’t true. Because for 19 years due was locked up with no clues on what was happening outside. He literally came up with his plan the night before because he found out David and the beast were at the same facility earlier that day.

Not to mention, the all ended up at the same facility by happenstance. Which happened a lot in this movie. David just happened to run into the beast that day and went after him that night because he didn’t listen to his son. and the organization just happened to show up at the right time. You realize if David listened to his son, he would have never went there and the beast would have ate the girls and kept it moving. All of this was pure coincidence because elijah is not omniscient All of this is happening without Elijah’s knowledge so it can’t be part of some plan to expose people with powers.

Also another point of happenstance. Elijah didn’t know sh*t about Casey. So Casey f*cked up the plan as well by accidentally showing up the next day during the fight and making the beast change back into Kevin. This is the only reason the organization got a chance to shoot Kevin. Elijah didn’t know this. Nobody knew this would happen. The same thing with Joseph showing up out of nowhere.

The movie relies on coincidences that make no sense to justify the Elijah is a mastermind plot but when you think about it, it ultimately doesn’t hold up.

The chains on Dunn bothered me too. I was thinking the same thing...if you want to convince him he aint super-strong then putting him in chains like he's The Hulk is not the best way to go about it.
Exactly. Also the events of the first 2 movies showed us that she was on some bullshyt already so their was no suspension of disbelief

No. I think you misinterpreted. His theory was that if he existed, others existed as well. This was stated in Unbreakable and once again in this film. He was obsessed in finding ANYONE that resembled any gift. However, his first theory was to find his opposite, since he wouldn't know what other abilities they had.

Everything you're mentioning has no bearing on the plot which is to make the world aware of people with abilities. First to find them, then make them known. It was him (and the son) that convinced David to go out into the world and save people in Unbreakable. David has been spotted and photographed on his own. Okay, he learned about the Beast a few months prior, so why wouldn't his plan be to put David against the Beast? Once again, he's obsessed with comics and the hero villain fight. That's why the tower was irrelevant. He spent months/years looking for someone like David. Once Glass was in the facility, he knew it was a matter of time before someone else would be in there as well. He's been patient, and knows that they are being watched. Glass is an urban myth, the Beast was on the news, and Dunn had been making noise in the papers for damn near 2 decades.

One of the reasons you can say he was having doubts could have been because he was getting bored in waiting. The doc even implied that he had been out of his room before, and he's been tampering with things around the facility. Once he had enough pieces in place, game on. Casey is irrelevant to the plot. Glass didn't even want to kill Beast, just wanted Beast abilities on display. He had nothing to do with Dunn dying either, that was just collateral damage, he only guessed that he would die.

I kinda thought the same thing. I don’t wanna shyt on him but it felt Bruce dialed it in.

Sam L just had to work with what he was giving but he came alive as the movie progessed. Old girl from them AHS shows..... something about her face and the close ups or way they framed her on screen was distracting.

But McAvoy KILLED that shyt. This dude put on a clinic.

I have conflicting feelings about the ending.... i didn’t like any of the victim girl from Split scenes..... but I understand why she was essential to this film.... just didn’t understand her motives or motivations (like even one of the McAvoys personalities said it..... “we did that fukked up shyt to you and your friends, you got away and coming back? Da hell”)

This movie ends with me perplexed like “what does this mean?

Was this a conclusion or are we getting legit future movies?

Wasn’t a bad movie, I still like Split best and wonder was this better than Unbreakable?

So was it good?


I would say yes..... it was good but I think Split was better.

Also there can be an honest discussion can be had about whether this was better then Unbreakable.

But this is a decent movie. Sam L and McAvoy were more than enough to hold it down
