Glass

Glass is easily one of M. Night Shyamalan’s best films and is next to Watchmen and the Dark Knight trilogy as the best gritty superhero films of all time. Glass is a beautifully crafted and engaging take on the superhero genre and there’s absolutely nothing like it. The way it has subverted expectations throughout the three movie span and genuinely have me questioning the way our world works and what makes an origin story. The gritty and realistic themes blended with traditional 40’s and 50’s comic book elements and light- but hard hitting situational and comedy in the form of inside jokes cements it’s place as a cinematic masterpiece. M. Night Shyamalan has outdone himself, the acting from everyone, particularly James McAvoy, was honestly incredible as well as the film direction, filmography and the philosophy had my jaw dropping to the floor. To conlcude, this movie is an almost perfect example of how to bring together a group of characters span across multiple films, and shows a new take on the superhero movie formula. The story is gripping and gives off an intense atmosphere throughout.
