To be honest, I didn't know that Split & Unbreakable were sharing the same universe and related to each other. So when I saw its trailer on theater, I was like "Woooaaaaah, man look at this cast... Everyone is here, it is gonna be fantastic!" then I've learnt it was actually a sequel for both movies. "Oh no. I can't watch it before I watch Unbreakable." And this literally worked out well.

YOU MUST watch the previous movies before you watch the Glass. If you are asking why, the events and important details in the movie might seem complicated or meaningless to you. It is not like some movies where you don't need to watch its previous movie to understand/enjoy it. It's the opposite.

I really don't know how will I be able to review the movie because if I tell about it, we have 90% spoiler giving risk here. Man... Tough work.

The best part of the movie was having same actors for their characters. Not like changing the fiction for the new actor but directly continuous story. And oh, of course the colours identified with their personalities were quite beautiful.

Especially please appreciate Joseph... The same boy has grown up after 19 years and his gazes are still the same. At this point, I really liked that because you can have the exact same feeling when you had in the first movie. You still see the same child who always admired his dad, David and has strong faith in him.

[Remember the boy on the left? He's the man on the right now, feel old yet?]

Mr. Glass is still as crazy as he was. I mean, you know if you had watched the first movie, he cannot see anything except his goal. Still running -it is a metaphor, guys- after his dreams: proving the world that comics are actually reflecting real people gifted with superhuman features.

I loved the -maybe sick?- relationship between Kevin [the man with 24 different personalities] and Casey. She's absolutely had some psychological problems and maybe she had Stockholm syndrome after kidnapped by him but I know there's something much more important than this. I, personally have read many articles/books about psychiatry with cases and it is like my main area of knowledge. These two people have something more than a silly love/affection caused by mental disorders and traumas... They have many thing in common and they are suitable partners for each others. She would have been the key of treating Kevin's DID.

I wished him to be cured even though I like Dennis, Jade, Hedwig, Patricia and the others... Just like I felt the same for the korean drama ''Kill Me Heal'' me. Oh man, I love multiple personality disorder.

  [The main cast was absolutely perfect. James McAvoy... Oh no need to comment about it.]

I didn't like the end of the movie. Not because of... Uh. Whatever.

Maybe I can say it like that without giving any spoiler: the ending was too rushed and I couldn't feel it was right. I understood the meaning/theme of the movie but I don't agree it completely. Most of the events until the end were going good but there're some missing parts and it's making me feel uneasy.

On the contrast, the deep meaning behind the ending was pretty good.

Go to the movie or watch it now if you like these kind of things. This man is good bonding different story from interesting sides.

My rating: 4/5
