REVIEW: GLASS

Here is the short review on Glass with minor spoilers ahead.

1. It is crazy to think of the number of in-depth ties-in, years in the making, as well as the motion wheels in this movie, have to offer. Good thing though, at least, M. Night Shyamalan managed to get this across the better side of the fence.
2. Following the surprise successes of "Unbreakable" and "Split"; "Glass" takes the Eastrail 177 trilogy back into the original intentions and ends it decently with enough exploration into the symbolism and abstractify of the themes of vigilante, superhero, and mental health.
3. The movie is enticing to watch with a significant dynamic display between the three main characters; once again anchored by a magnificent rapid trans-characters by James McAvoy.
4. M Night Shyamalan is not a great writer, as evidently perplexing for "Glass" to carry countless overwhelming plot points that ultimately can be both bittersweet and rough to savor.
5. The twist at the end is not as clever as the Shyamalan's standard would have been, abruptly done and lack of logical senses.
6. "Glass" is a well-aged psychological horror with uneven beautiful chaos thrown around it - luckily it hit more than it misses.
