“Glass”

The concluding chapter in M. Night Shyamalan’s trilogy left me scratching my head and a little confused. Where Unbreakable & Split were a little more straightforward, I had a difficult time wrapping my head around this movie. I guess, my biggest problem was how slow it was. The movie clocks in at just over 2 hours but it felt a lot longer to me. It’s very talky and deliberate and until the last reel, I was pretty bored and just waiting for something to happen. The conclusion to me left things even more up in the air and asked more questions. Where did these people come from? Who do they represent? I think to fully understand this, I’ll need to watch a second time, but the problem is that I really don’t want to. It’s a shame because I enjoyed the first 2 films and these are very interesting characters. I find the Elijah Glass character fascinating. But do we know why he is wired to do these things? I don’t know, I felt kind of empty when I was done watching. I guess I just didn’t get it.
