So what can this "Shamalan version of Fulian" do?

"Mr. Glass" 6 points Maybe the split is just a flashback for Shyamalan, and this one continues to expose the problems he faces.

————Spoiler dividing line————

In fact, it is not difficult to see that Shyamalan's filming of "Split" and the incorporation of "Undead" into this superhero universe must be influenced by the "Avengers Universe". But is Shyamalan doing this Shyamalan version of "The Avengers" well enough? The answer is of course no.

If you go back to the first movie "Undead" in this superhero universe, it is actually not a particularly good movie, which is one of the reasons why this universe is not destined to be exciting.

And back to the movie itself, the way of kneading several people in the previous work is actually a little strange. According to the final reversal of the movie, although it is reasonable to a certain extent, there are still many doubts in the process of watching the movie. Difficult to solve with inversion.

When Zhan Yimei and Bruce Willie's superpowers are explained in the first half of the film, the explanation is actually very weak, and when the latter is reversed, that kind of pleasure is nothing.

In terms of type satisfaction, it is also very insufficient. The refreshing brought by Samuel Jackson's super-intelligence is not even as good as "Eleven Arhats". In particular, the time when "Mr. Glass" released resources is close to the time when "Reunion 4" was released. Under the influence of a superhero movie like "Avengers 4" whose visual effects far surpass that of "Mr. Glass", it makes "Mr. Glass" even more weak.

It is still possible to see Shyamalan's performance in a small format and a small perspective, but once the film type moves closer to superheroes, the type of satisfaction that the audience needs is not just that simple.

Without complete control over the three movies, without giving enough genre satisfaction, nor with a realistic cut like Watchmen, this is destined to be a mediocre movie in the era of Marvel.

    Familiar recipe, fresh taste. After reading half of it, I realized that this is actually the second part of the immortal catastrophe, and it can be regarded as an innovative expression and another interpretation of the superhero theme. The roles created by James McAvoy are extremely challenging, and the splits of each personality are highly recognizable

    I like it very much. There are not many exciting, suspenseful and tense scenes, but the ubiquitous sense of control, restraint, monitoring, and the plot that subverts beliefs are terrifying when you think about it. Just like everyone who usually suppresses their character in order to fit in with the crowd. The world does not allow people who are different from ordinary people to exist, so they suffer. It's still good to see Yimei crying. Every time he cries, I cry with him.
