[Abraxus]

I want to see this because I thought Split was Great and Unbreakable was good...but I keep missing showtimes that work for me and based off the mixed reviews I guess I can wait.

I liked all 3. If you go to this expecting them to be wiling out like in an X-men or Avengers movie then go ahead and cancel cause this isn’t what this movie is about. Now the next few movies could have telekinetic folk and shyt like that there but to me this movie delivered and didn’t move away from the genre and characters it had built up. 4 out of 5 but only because I’m a true fan of his take on heroes and villains. You want to see folk being punched through mountains wait on next Avengers and ol funky as beanpole Capt Marvel

[CanesMiamiLakers]

I saw it today in the movies. I enjoyed but hated how it ended in a good way

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Finally saw this shyt and jesus Christ is this shyt


Talk about a fukkin movie where nothin fukkin happens. Bruce Willis looked so disinterested in acting I thought he was just gonna say fukk it, I'm outta here and walk off the movie nm he was given pretty much absolutely nothing to do or say.

Shamalan seemed more interested in getting close ups and "unique" shots instead of making an actual movie.


This shyt was trash beyond trash. I want my money and 2 hours back.

Dumb af. dude tried to force a trilogy.

Props to Mcavoy, dude is a really good actor. I would say something coo about Samuel but you forget he's in the movie too. not sure how anyone could enjoy this mess

fukk it I'm out.

 

[Fresh]

Elijah’s plan since unbreakable was to find his opposite and prove he was not a mistake. He believed in superheroes but he was never out to expose them to the world otherwise he would have outed David in unbreakable. He helped David become who he needed to become. It was never his mission to show the world about superheroes and villains. Again he only found out about the beast at the facility so it makes no sense to say this was his plan all along because it was pure coincidence that they ended up at the same facility. Like I said before his plan was for them to have a fight at the Osaka tower. It couldn’t have been apart of the plan to die at the facility because he only found out about the Osaka tower the day before. And the most important part of all, he never intended for the Beast to find out the truth at the facility. It was because Joseph who was outside of Elijah’s plan showed up and ruined everything. Also this whole thing about Elijah not being a mistake is redundant because he knew that from unbreakable. He proved it already.

Elijah’s plan was literally cooked up the night before and we’re trying to pass this off as it was his master plan all along. A plan that wouldn’t have happened until three days ago when David and the Beast were captured?

They added stuff at the last minute to try and make it all make sense but when you break it down it just doesn’t.

All twist aside all motives aside this movie was just wack and M. NIGHT been making wack shyt for years.

Split only got a pass because it tied into unbreakable, but without that tie to unbreakable that movie is wack as fukk and has a lot of plot holes.

M. NIGHT need to focus more on actually making dope movies again instead of trying to make twist.

shyt nikka might as well have all his movies tie in now. All this superhero shyt going down, while around the corner is some village where people dont know what year it is (whos running the village the people with clover tats on the wrist). Its like a base assignments. If yall can trick these people that its 1809 yall can be part of the crew. Meanwhile there's some kid who's super powers is to see ghost...who's ghost is it ? DAVIDS. I can barely remember lady in the water but I'm sure I can tie that piece of shyt into it too.

 

[Hugs]

The thing that pisses me off is that Unbreakable had a perfect ending

Spoiler

Glass proving Dunn's wife correct, that he latched onto comics as a way to deal with childhood ridicule

and this film doesn't extrapolate on that idea AT ALL. Instead we just get more of the same "weak man is actually smart" bullshyt that leads into the most fight I've ever seen in a theater. and don't even get me started on that Illuminati shyt

Reading through this thread Shyamalan must rest easy knowing that so many people will cape for the utter nonsense he tries to sell us in this movie. Which is not to say that I didn't enjoy it, because I thought it was enjoyable, but this is another movie that proves Shyamalan is his own worst enemy as all his good ideas are ruined by the fact he's a trash storyteller.

Let's just start with the opening.

Spoiler

David is fighting crime with his son being the Alfred. His son presents him with a theory that the "triangle" that the Horde's victims are in, is only his hunting ground and not where he stays holed up. He suspects (without any evidence or proof or even the most basic of clues) he might be holed up in a factory area nearby. David decides to patrol that area and on his first (!) patrol of the area immediately finds the Horde and his next staple of victims. Which is not only embarassingly lazy and convenient writing, but also ignores that the son's theory was that this was his hideout and not his hunting ground (the aforementioned triangle), so the presence of victims

And that situation basically sums up the entire movie. Things happen to move the plot forward without any realistic rhythm to them. For instance, I don't mind the idea of the doc trying to convince the patients that they do not have super abilities, and I don't even mind the idea of them starting to doubt themselves, but why are David and The Horde doubting themselves after one (!) talking session when they've been out doing superhero/villain shyt for years? And what part of the doc's intentions requires all three of them to be in the same hospital? Matter of fact, other than a reason to put the three together in a room together, why would she do a group session when confrontation between these three is exactly what she's trying to avoid? And as already said, if she's trying to convince them their superpowers are in their head, then why are their rooms built with security measures against their "imagined" powers? And why do they ignore this during the first group talking session where they are immediately swayed into believing it's all in their heads?

The entire narrative could've worked if Shyamalan didn't insist so much on the plot immediately moving to wherever he wants it, because a simple montage of routine talking sessions where you see the time line of how long it takes to question themselves would have gotten the plot at the same point without making all the characters look like clueless morons in a single moment. And the fact that Shyamalan doesn't even grasp the most basic of storytelling methods to get the plot to where he wants is baffling.

Which brings us to Glass' scheme, which makes partial sense (the tower was a distraction so the secret organisation would do anything to stop David and the Horde from getting there, and the footage of that battle is what he would send into the world) but is undermined because so much happens by coincidental happenstance. Like a huge part of the climax relies on David's son, Casey and Glass' mom to be at the institution at that exact same time, and they just so happen to all arrive there, at the exact same time, at the exact moment of the trio's escape. It's so contrived and again there's no apologizing for such lazy storytelling, especially because Shyamalan has the fukking balls to try and make it appear like some kind of "faithful" encounter to wave all the coincidences away.

In the end the movie is enjoyable enough because of the general things that Shyamalan gets right (and of course McAvoy continuing his tour-de-force role), but as I've said for the past decade or so, at some point the man really has to accept that he needs a proofreader or a co-writer.

I agree with this 100% Plus I would like to add some stuff. First of all snce David Dunn has been using his powers to stop criminals for 19 years, he's all of a sudden going to stop believing in his super human powers just because the lady tries to convince him he's tripping???

After all those years David Dunn been using his abilites to fight crime he's ACTUALLY going to start to lose faith and question himself cuz of that fake doctor b!tch !!

And how in the blue hell did he JUST forget the first battle with The Beast where he CLEARLY saw dude CRAWLING ON THE CEILING, and he witnessed The Beast throw that HUGE table at him and sh!t, not to mention their first fight when David realized The Beast had super physical strength like him.


He's just gonna magically forget all that. David Dunn is level headed, it was terrible writing that he didn't once mention how ILLEGAL all that sh!t was. David Dunn, a logical person didn't question how SHADY all that was from jump??

So u gonna tell me a fake doc made him AND his son doubt him???


Okay, now to The Beast, I know The Beast ain't been doin it as long as Dunn, but The Beast has done more than enough, super human strenth, climbing ceilings and sh!t and his other personalies knew that sh!t as well, so you're telling me that that slick doctor said a few suggestion to dude and all of a sudden half his other personalites start to lose faith in The Beast... even after he sees David Dunn across the hall locked up too ??

And how u gonna have them at a place with those mall cop slacking ass security guards? cmom son.

There were too many plotholes to count, and they MISSED so many opportunities to go in more exciting directions in the movie.

First off LEAVE the whole secret society dedicated to kill super heroes out of the movie.

The build up was so great and had so many directions it could have gone.

It's just like I wanted David Dunn and The Beast to have another fight in public and seen in such a way that it couldn't be denied.

The way they did it was in the parking lot, and even though Mr. Glass was streaming it you have to know the vast majority was looking at that fight like its special effects added cuz niccas watch fights on the internet all the time.

There's so so many plotholes in this movie there's too many to name.

Unbreakable was dope, Split was dope, but Glass was ass.


I'm done with M. Night

He tried to make it too artsy, it just wasn't a good movie

 

[NormanConnors]

dope flick

"it wasnt the limited edition like i thought it was, it was the origin story after all" (or something similar said by Mr. Glass)


at cats ignoring the fact all 3 brehs were in a psych ward for who knows how long (at least for Glass its been about 20 years) and being surprised it had effects, shyt like that happens in the comics which is what the movie ties into.

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

shyt was dope...not sure what the fukk nikkas was looking for...to me this was way better than Split- I barely remember unbreakable
the use of comics to deliver a social message was this is the first M knight Slamalamadingdong movie I actually enjoyed
