 Hey guys, I'm Ryan. I'm Justin. We just checked out M. Night Shyamalan's sequel to the Unbreakable series and split. Yes. Glass. Glass. Not to be confused with a bottle. No. Glass. Yes. A little cup. Of glass. Is it any good? We'll let you know right after this. So M. Night Shyamalan's glass, this is the sequel to Unbreakable, also the sequel to Split. He's created his own Marvel universe with his superhero genre. Yes. A little bit, not as big. I'm still hoping for Haley Joel Oldsman to show up in this. Yeah. But you know, things happen. Yeah. This is a non-spoiler review. So like, well I'm not going to say that he doesn't show up. Oh yeah, he could. He could. He probably won't though. He probably won't. Oh what? All comes down to what's this movie about? We're basically seeing David Dunn, Mr. Glass and James McAvoy's 30 different or 27 different split personalities. Yeah, I like the credits where he was just like the cast. Yeah. And then it was everyone else who played one character. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That was actually the first time I've seen something like that happen. Very cool. Yeah. But basically David Dunn's on the lookout for Kevin. Is it Kevin Crumb or Crispin Crumb? What's his original name? Kevin Crumb. Kevin Crumb. Yeah, Kevin Crumb. He's got a lookout for Kevin Crumb or the split personality, the beast. He's trying to find him across Philadelphia and he locates him and then things happen. They end up in a mental institution with Mr. Glass and Sarah Paulson's character trying to figure out are they real superheroes? Or are they just thinking they are, make-believe and just thinking they're superhero powers are kind of a bit, you know... Yeah, they're extraordinary but not superhero-ish. Yeah, they're trying to take the big superhero kind of capabilities and really science them down. For a movie that I wanted to see powers, I saw powers but I didn't like that how it was like science-y, too much explanation. Yeah, I think for me this really nails that three arc storyline and each arc is definitely different. The first arc is set in Pennsylvania, it's in Philadelphia and it's the unbreakable sequel you wanted to see. And David Dunn walking around the city trying to be the superhero known as Tiff Toes. He's actively doing stuff which from the first movie he was very kind of against doing that kind of stuff. And from the trailers it wasn't really completely certain that that's the life that he actually pursued and we actually find out that he actually kind of does. Yeah, and that's the part of the movie that I really enjoyed. And then the second act it flips into the mental institution and I don't want to tell you what happens to the third act. It's that little spoiler heaven. But by the trailer you know what the second act is going to be and the first act is where I was at. The first act I loved, I really enjoyed 99% of it. I really liked the character story of David Dunn and where he had been these last 19 years that we haven't seen him. Which is crazy to think about that Unbreakable came out 19 years ago. I was just a little bub. Yeah, we both were. We weren't that little. Yeah, that's probably like 5' 9' I reckon when I was that big. My birth birth was ridiculous. Anyway, the point being is that part of the movie for me was the story that I wanted to see. And I think the people that wanted to see Unbreakable sequel, that's the stuff they're going to really love. The first 30 to 40 minutes of the film is really chock-a-block of action, really superhero story stuff. And then we hit the mental institution and that's for where it completely dropped off and I just wasn't interested. And I think that all comes down to, unfortunately, I'm really sorry, but Sarah Paulson. I don't like her. I don't know why. Not a fan? She's just something about her. See, I don't like her. There's something about her that I don't like that I get used to when I'm watching American Horror Story. She's in that all the time. That's why I stopped liking that show. Because it was fine for the first season, she wasn't that big of a character in it. And then the second season comes along, she's the main character. And that's where I lost it. I was like, I'm not really into this anymore. And I think it was because of Sarah Paulson. And here it is again. I'm breakable. I don't know what it is, but I'm sorry. No, exactly. It's hard when you're trying to watch a movie. I'm okay with her. A lot more okay with her than it seems to be that you are. I don't know what it is. But it really does hurt when you're watching a film and you're trying to enjoy it. But then it's just that thing that just keeps tapping you on the back of the neck going, No, I don't like this. It was also her storyline though. I just wasn't interested in it. Because the first movie, Unbreakable, was all about David Dunne learning that he was a superhero. It was Mr. Glass saying, look, you're not crazy. Everything you've done in your life leads up to this moment learning that you are a superhero. This movie flips that and says you're not a superhero. And for me, that was kind of like, we set up the first movie learning that we are. Why are we flipping that back? It's already been proven to him that he is. This sequence of using science against him was Robin Wright's character in that film. She was always saying, look, you're not a superhero. Look, you drowned. All these different things happened. And his son, Spencer Trikla, not to be forgotten, was always saying that you are. And so I feel like that movie's already happened. I don't need to see it again. And that's what this second act of this film was for me. A rehash of Unbreakable that just wasn't necessary. And I don't know if that was because M. Night Shyamalan thought it's been 19 years and this new audience needs to understand this part of it. Or if that was his whole storyline. But sorry, go on. What do you think? Well, I really liked the film as a whole. I think I liked it a lot. I loved it, honestly. The look of it is just like, I go on about in all my reviews where I love the look of these films. But this one, the cinematography is so precise and all of his films. I love from even Unbreakable when it's just on the train and the camera keeps going past the chair. Honestly, he has this visual eye and this storytelling capability that I love. And this movie is exactly the kind of film that is a true M. Night Shyamalan film. That's right. Story-wise, I thought it was great. I wasn't a fan of how it was science down and that they were kind of being downtrodden to be like, no, you aren't superheroes, but we know that they are. There are scenes in the film where they're doubting certain things and questioning certain things. But we've seen it before in Split, in Unbreakable. Why tell us that we're wrong? That was the only downside that I saw for the film. I do like how it was a really mini Unbreakable sequel at the start trying to find the bad guys. I thought it was really cool. The thing that annoyed me though is the ending. I was expecting something to happen and it didn't happen. So I was like, well, when is it going to end? What's actually happening? And then when the ending finished, I was like, OK, regroup. What is this movie actually about? And yeah, we'll definitely talk about that in another video. I think the ending of this movie, we don't want to spoil it, but I think it's definitely going to leave a massive divide. Moses is stepping into the film industry and just saying, I'm parting the seas. You guys are going to love it or you guys are going to hate it. I think for me, I hated it. It definitely wasn't going the way I wanted to. And some people are going to love it. Some people aren't going to like it. I'm definitely on the side of not liking it. But as I said, the first act of the film, fantastic, loved every minute of it. M9 Shyamalan is at his best. His direction, his camera work, his filmmaking just in general. The acting he got from Bruce Willis was insane, considering that we know what he's been like recently. I mean, Eli Roth didn't even get the best of him with Deathwish. We haven't seen the best of him probably since Unbreakable. Maybe before even... What was that time-travelling one? Joseph Gordon, Leavitt. Oh, Looper. Looper. With your mate Ryan Johnson. That's it. My mate Ryan Johnson, the lovely guy. But yeah, that's what I'm thinking. So, all in all, I think it was an extremely competent, very engaging film that I can't wait to see again. Especially because I want to think about the things and the details that I know now. It's the whole reason why I kind of like spoilers. It's the whole reason why... I said kind of. Hard pass. Hard pass. Hard pass. But basically, I like knowing the story and the world and how it's going to work. And now I'd like to go back and see it again and again and really knot out the details of this world and the details of this characters and the details of Sam Jackson and Mr. Glass' role in the entire film. Because what was interesting is that this film is called Glass. Why didn't they call it something else? Like they had Unbreakable, you had Split, which isn't really, it could have been Shatter. It could have been Unbreakable, Shatter, and then Glass. So, or Glass puns. But why they called it Glass when... And I'm not going to tell you if he is the main character or not. But there's three characters in this film. I think it's safe to say that. I think you can say that. He's not the main character, right? No, he's not. I would say that the Beast is. And that's of course because Split was the latest movie. So it had to be based off him. But... But we wanted it to be about David Dunn. Yeah, I did. So out of five, what do you give it? Honestly, I'd give it four chameleons out of five. Four chameleons. Four chameleons out of five. All right. Well, look, for me, I love the first act. The second act is where you lost me a little bit. It was still good, but it wasn't fantastic. I really wanted to see an Unbreakable sequel, not really a Split sequel. And the addition of Sarah Paulson, for me, was a massive letdown on the story side of things because I didn't enjoy a character. And I also don't enjoy Sarah Paulson. So for me, that's where the film dripped a little bit. But that's fine. All in all, I still think it's worthwhile seeing in the cinema because this idea of making a movie 19 years later and seeing how it all plays out is very, very fun and really interesting. And M. Night Shyamalan, as I said, is always... He's back at his game and he knows what he's doing. He's grading behind the camera, especially in thrillers, especially with thrillers with nice endings and different things that happen. And that's where he's back to. We love the twist ending kind of thing. And there is a twist ending in this, so I'm not going to say what it is. But there's always a twist. And all of his good movies have a twist, especially because we expect it. And when they happen, awesome. So you gave it four M. Night Shyamalans. I'm going to give it three David Dunns. Out of five. So I'm right. I'm Justin. And until next time, look at you nerds. At the movies. At the movies.
