Unbreakable didn't need a sequel.

EDIT----Before posting, I didn't know about Split. I have to revise my statement.

Unbreakable didn't need to be made into a trilogy.

I guess not so much a sequel as part of a trilogy.

Did y’all miss the end of Split with Willis?

cant wait for this. Loved them both. 

Just watched the cast on Conan from Comic-Con. I'm in.

I want Anya Taylor Joy to sit on my face so I'll be seeing this.

This guy gets it.

watcher beware:  its m night shiminotgonnamakemovieanymore

Another "grounded" superhero movie. Skip the Shamalamadingdong ending, and this is a good movie.

So in. Loved Unbreakable. MKS found his magic again with Split.

Split is worth it for McAvoy alone. The guy is freaking amazing in that film.

After "The Happening", which is one of the biggest pieces of shit ever put on film, I wrote off MKS "for good". Somewhere after that, I got tricked into giving the dude another chance and whatever I watched was decent. Then I watched "Split", and that shit was awesome. I can't wait to see this one.

Fucking a this. I feel bad for anyone who is going to get Split spoiled for them. That movie was great and the ending was one of MNS best twists. Definitely looking forward to this.

It looks like an AWESOME trailer for an average movie.  I love the premise though.

McAvoy deserved an oscar for split.  can't wait for this.

I watched split first and then unbreakable after. Both are awesome. Will definitely see this. 

Somebody had a helluva good comment on io9

Spoiler

Still thinking Sarah Paulson’s Doctor character is the true villain. That everything in this trailer is the first half of the film. Dunn vs Beast is the opening (him rescuing the Cheerleaders and capturing The Beast). The hospital/prison is all the middle act. The final act is them vs the Doctor. The scene of the three captured in that church and fighting the control of the Doctor is one where all is revealed. 

I bet in that scene she shows she also has abilities. That her ability is to manipulate or control others against their will. The cells she creates is her testing the limits of her powers and finding what specific thing or element lets her control each person.

But Dunn is somehow immune to her (thus why he is the only one restrained in that church scene). So she sets Beast and Glass against him to get rid of him. 

Film still ends similar to Batman vs Superman - Glass opening up a computer file of all of the Doctor’s work, showing she has experimented upon and controlled dozens of people with abilities, and now Glass knows where they all are.

 

having been what i thought was the only person in america who liked unbreakable, i was unaware of this "split," but i'm going to have to check it out. this looks great.

Unbreakable is one of my favorite movies. Never saw "Split". Had no idea that it was tied to Unbreakable at all.

Unbreakable is quite good.  A little slow but really fun payoff.  Split is also very good..... McAvoy's performance is harrowing.  Must watch going into this.  Who would have thunk M Night may have a super hero trilogy define his career.

Yeah I'd highly recommend Split for his performance...obviously if you want to watch Glass you need to see it.

What you guys wrote.

I watched Split last night.  Shamalan's directing, cinematography and score has never changed in 19 years, and it got old long before that.  But, the premise and story is great, and McAvoy kills it.

I watched it again recently and that moment in Fletcher’s home when McAvoy shifts from Barry to Dennis is just masterful. Incredible acting.

McAvoy is fucking amazing in Split. He made what could have been an easily cliched performance into something special.  Went down the wikipedia wyrmhole researching DID right after viewing his performance, and it's not difficult to see how accurate it was, 

McAvoy is probably my favorite actor, of the younger generation at least.  I watch anything he's in.

Watched split last night. Enjoyed it. I thought it was interesting that none of the personalities, as far as I could tell, spoke with a Scottish accent. 

It was on a Plex account, so I skimmed some of the reviews attached to the file. Strange mixture of like and dislike, with at least two calling it an exploitation film.  I don’t see that at all. The girls never get naked, are only in underwear for short scenes that are non sexual, and they are smart and work to free themselves. 

They are just a plot device for Kevin/Barry/etc and the idea presented about how the mind affects the body.

Saw an early review that said it starts off strong and gets Shyamalyan'd at the end. Which sucks because it starts out so promising.

McAvoy is really good and Taylor Joy is hot. I'll watch it because of the latter.

Now when I see James McAvoy I only see Professor X.  Probably because Patrick Stewart is always Picard to me.

Saw the entire trilogy today.  McAvoy and Jackson are great in Glass but the movie taken as a whole is pretty underwhelming 

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could watch McAvoy play the Horde all day long. He should get an Oscar nomination for how exhausting this role must be. 

It is not a action movie whatsoever, but the movie is really well done. It is a great entry into this Universe. 

 

I enjoyed it as well.  They're so much subtle stuff Night is doing with colors and blocking and camera to make it looks a lot like an ole fashioned comic book tale.  Would have enjoyed a bit more fighting in the end but who knows if ole man Willis could have kept it up.  McAvoy again steals the movie, but I liked all the plot line progressing and resolving into one.  It's not a Sixth Sense sort of "twist".  You can pretty much see it a thousand yards away but it doesn't make it any less interesting to see it go down.  Not as good as the first two, but pretty close.

Mcavoy is amazing. This dude is perfect. 

Mskes me wanna go back and watch his other work.  Even that bending bullet movie 

I liked it OK. Paulson was annoying.

Gold star for you. Atonement was the tits. Great acting by everyone 

Great acting but didn’t care for the plot/theme. Meh

Edited by utxmike05

I never even knew there was a middle one until a week or two ago. Did it suck?

This movie was confusing. It feels like it should have began where it ended.

I agree that Paulson’s character was annoying.  The bulk of the movie was her and her dumb crusade. I kept thinking, why are we dwelling on this question of “are they or aren’t they”?  We know the answer. Unbreakable already explored and answered that question.  So did Split for that matter.  The whole movie I kept thinking Jesus, let’s get on with it. This psychiatric ward shit is not compelling. The story spent like 80 minutes in neutral.

I get that M Night was trying to do something on a modest budget.  But I dunno. I was hoping for something better.  I love Unbreakable, and Split was fun.  But good for M Night I guess, because the movie looks like it’s gonna turn a fat profit.

Biggest disappointment for me was probably Bruce Willis’s character.  He didn’t really have much to do.  Glass spends  half the movie drooling into the camera. The movie is essentially Split 2.

Yeah this is where I am. It's like the movie was designed to ensure that all three of these great characters have as little to do as possible. Lots of sitting in their rooms and sitting in chairs. And we already know everyone, so it's not like we're digging into anything new. Just waiting until the end.

I don’t think you, and many others on this thread, are people that enjoy a slow psychological thriller, especially in the classic Hitchcock sense. It’s not for everyone. I get it. 

The psychiatric ward was the most compelling part of the movie. They were not “dwelling on the question ‘are they or aren’t they’, that was not the point of the ward, the movie was about believing in oneself. Paulson represented doubt, but by believing in oneself, or each other, the main characters were able to overcome doubt. 

Mr. Glass had a modest budget of 20 million. Split was 9 million. Unbreakable was 75 million. I think that’s a good thing, as sometimes modern directors rely too much on CGI shit. 

Glass spent half the movie drooling into the camera because that was his power, he was a Mastermind. He pretended to be brain dead, all the while planning an escape and broadcast of superheroes to the world. Which worked.
