Critic Reviews for Glass on Moviebuff.com

“Glass” is still a relatively enjoyable ride overall.

Adam Mast, Suindependent.com

“Glass” is a sequel that feels more dutiful than necessary.

Owen Gleiberman, Variety

It’s consistently engaging, if a bit dour, and McAvoy is especially delightful as he flits through all 23 of his character’s personalities.

Fletcher Powell, KMUW

Glass doesn't break under pressure, tops box office second week in a row.

Maureen Lee Lenker, Entertainment Weekly

Glass feels like a movie that’s almost 10 years too late.

Alan Cerny, ComingSoon.net

M Night Shyamalan unites Bruce Willis, James McAvoy and Samuel L Jackson for his own version of the Avengers, to unsatisfying results.

Rohan Naahar, Hindustan Times

“Glass” is that its mildly intriguing meta-textual narrative is so much richer and more compelling than the asinine story that Shyamalan tells on its surface.

David Ehrlich, Indiewire

“Glass” serves as a weird meta-critique of the comic book genre but also embraces it.

Micah Mertes, Omaha World-Herald

There are multiple points throughout Glass when you find yourself wondering exactly when it is that the story is going to start.

Eric Eisenberg, Cinema Blend

There is a lot going on in Glass, an ambitious film from M Night Shyamalan, seeking to establish his own superhero franchise.

Shalini Langer, Indian Express

An entertaining end to M Night Shyamalan’s superhero trilogy.

Simran Hans, The Guardian

It's a misfire that fails to reach the bars set by Unbreakable and Split.

Sandy Schaefer, Screen Rant

It’s an entertaining treat for anyone who can appreciate M. Night Shyamalan’s ingenious take on the superhero genre.

Rochell Pereira, BookMyShow

M. Night Shyamalan tries to paste two movies together to create a cinematic universe.

Scott Renshaw, Salt Lake City Weekly

Glass is the first film of M. Night’s second period to feel like it belongs with the hits from the first.

Drew Wheeler, flagpole

This is not the kind of seriousness that superheroes need.

MaryAnn Johanson, FlickFilosopher.com

The director unites Samuel L Jackson, Bruce Willis and James McAvoy from earlier films in a pointless supernatural sequel.

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Glass feels very much like a single act of a movie stretched out to feature length.

Sam Adams, Slate Magazine

James McAvoy steals the show in jaw-dropping end to trilogy.

Riley Cardoza, Hollywood Life

It’s so split between an entertaining first half and unsatisfying weirdness in the second that it’s hard to recommend.

George Haerle, The Daily World

Glass is a terrific and fitting conclusion to the trilogy, especially for those of us who have been waiting so long for this.

Damond Fudge, KCCI Des Moines

“Glass” isn’t a terrible film but neither is it a particularly good one.

Ty Burr, The Boston Globe

Glass does have something in common with its predecessor, though; as it stumbles to a surprisingly moving conclusion.

Margot Harrison, Seven Days

There are hints of greatness, but Glass is tonally confused and will likely disappoint fans of Unbreakable and Split.

Rosie Knight, IGN

Alita: Battle Angel is worth your penny if you are looking for a good, action-packed, entertaining spectacle.

Rucha Sharma, DNA

Glass feels more like fanfiction from its own creator rather than anything that functions and flows organically.

Robert Kojder, Flickering Myth

While Alita: Battle Angel has its flaws in its narrative, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that this film is meant for a theatrical experience and in that department, it will surely dazzle you.

Shibaji Roychoudhury, Times Now

Glass owes a great deal of debt to its predecessors for making it look presentable.

Chris Carter, CG Magazine

The filmmaker connects bits of his two best movies into one chin-stroking thriller about why we need superheroes.

David Fear, Rolling Stone

‘Glass’ is an emotionally captivating and enthralling culmination of the two stories that were previously presented in ‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Split.’

Karen Benardello, Shockya.com

Glass is terrific but has its share of underwhelming moments.

Renuka Vyavahare, The Times of India

Despite some fine performances, the film doesn’t quite live up to its previous film but is still entertaining to watch.
