I was really anxious about seeing this movie. As a big fan of Shyamalan's work, I know it’s difficult to support a director who made *The Last Airbender*. Every time I try to acknowledge his talent, I get questioned about his strange plot twists and awkward dialogue. Shyamalan seems to have different personalities depending on the films he releases. Sometimes he’s an exceptional filmmaker with a deep understanding of his craft, once nicknamed “the second Spielberg,” a screenwriter capable of delivering surprising plot turns and captivating scenes. Other times, he ruins movies with frustrating twists and questionable character choices. So, where does Shyamalan land with *Glass*? The beginning flows smoothly. I appreciate how David is reintroduced 19 years later and shown living his life now. Kevin continues to kidnap innocent teenage girls, and after a few minutes, we witness the first confrontation between our hero and villain. I wasn’t expecting an action-packed film, and I'm glad it isn’t because it would have damaged the feel of the other movies. This was never meant to be a massive finale with elaborate CGI fights like you see in Marvel or DC films. If you were hoping *Glass* would resemble *Avengers: Infinity War*, then you probably haven't grasped what this trilogy is about. Sarah Paulson plays Dr. Ellie Staple, who treats people believing they are superheroes. The second act centers around a lengthy and engaging narrative that makes the main characters (and the audience) question whether everything they’ve done is due to supposed mental instability. There’s much to admire and criticize throughout this section. The interactions between these characters are as compelling as they could be, and I couldn't look away from the screen. Then there’s James McAvoy...I can hardly describe how incredible his performance is. Playing one character is challenging; portraying nearly 20 is simply astounding! However, McAvoy embodies each personality with astonishing skill, delivering performances that are unbelievable to witness—sometimes I laughed because I couldn't fathom how an actor could do what he did in a single take. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson return as David and Mr. Glass, respectively. The former is solid, and his respect for the character shines through. However, David feels somewhat sidelined in this film, but I’ll address that later. SLJ, even with less screen time than the other two, has more to do regarding advancing the plot. He delivers an outstanding performance, as expected from a talented actor. During this act, these four characters create many memorable moments, though the narrative is filled with explanations and feels drawn out. Shyamalan seemed intent on demonstrating that he knew what he was writing about, often having his characters explicitly state everything the audience needed to know without any subtlety. The third act will likely divide audiences—some will love it, others will hate it. In this genre, there’s rarely a middle ground. You'll either be among those who defend it fiercely or part of the group that dismisses it solely based on its ending. There are multiple twists in this final act. The truth is, I left feeling somewhat disappointed. It doesn't matter what your expectations are; at least one of the twists will likely upset you. What bothers me most is that I don’t particularly enjoy any of them. *Unbreakable* has a final plot twist that completely redefines its story and comes out of nowhere—it’s genuinely mind-blowing! *Split* had the revelation that it was part of the former's universe, which earned it standing ovations at festivals. *Glass* has…a series of twists. There are no jaw-dropping reactions; there are no gasps of surprise. Instead, we’re left with a potentially questionable decision. A few of the twists are acceptable—I would even call them "good." However, the twist that changes everything feels forced and, above all, falls short for what you'd expect from the final chapter of a superhero trilogy spanning 19 years. I can’t help but wonder, “Is this really the best path you could have chosen, Shyam
