I like what M. Night did there, with those titles. This is a pretty interesting trilogy in a weird sequel/spin-off/tie-in kind of way.
Unbreakable came out in 2000. Apparently, nobody knows about this movie. I've come across a lot of movie-goers who expressed interest in seeing 'Glass', and upon my questioning them, "Have you seen 'Unbreakable'?", they often say no. I feel that we have too many people going into this without knowing the original film in the trilogy, and that bothers me. Ignorance.
Well, Unbreakable was a cool fuckin' movie. I watched it back in the day when it came to video and I quite enjoyed it. I'd easily say it's my favorite M. Night movie. He had a trilogy planned, but things didn't work out, and boom. A great thing never was... until a newfound interest in 2017, when Split came out!
Now mind you, I had no interest in M. Night's new movie. Plot didn't intrigue me much, but a co-worker came out of it enthused, and told me the twist, and then I had to watch it. That twist got me very excited for something I'd been waiting so many years for, because seriously... It's been almost TWENTY FUCKING YEARS for this thing to happen, and how is it going to turn out?
So what happens with Glass? Obviously, M. Night is all about the twists, so you can't really say anything about this movie, other than whether you like it or you don't. Me? I feel satisfied with the final product.
Despite the title, Sam Jackson isn't in that much of the movie. He definitely plays an integral part, but don't expect him to be in it much. He isn't even the first credited cast member. McAvoy is, because he plays a lot of different characters in this movie.
Personally, I was more big on Unbreakable than I was on Split, which was still good. McAvoy definitely put a lot of effort into the role(s), but I was more into the Bruce Willis storyline. I wish there was more of it in the movie, but either way, the pacing is pretty sly. What I definitely liked was the cut scenes from Unbreakable, as well as some alternate angled scenes.
The movie handled all the characters really well, and I can't complain. It made my inner-nerd really happy. Good stuff.

Well there were a whole bunch of people who question why Bruce Willis popped up at the end of Spilt..
