The movie Glass, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is the next in a series of to his previous films Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016). These show the viewer a whole new perspective on superheroes. This movie follows main characters Kevin Wendell Crumb played by actor James McAvoy, Bruce Willis as David Dunn and Samuel L. Jackson playing Elijah Price. All locked in a psychiatric unit, they discover a way to show the world who they truly are. One of the three guys uses his powers to prove his good in helping the public find the man who has been kidnapping young girls. Compared to the other two who have nothing, but bad intentions.

Glass received a 7.1 out of 10 on IMDb and a 36 percent on rotten tomatoes, showing the movie had very good reviews. Cricket bat from  IMDb.com says, “I feel like M. Night Shyamalan was so determined to surprise the audience that he forgot how to satisfactorily finish a story.” Glass definitely connects well with M. Night Shyamalan’s previous movies, but in a way, it might not satisfy audience members who have not followed along with his other two films. Senior Sam Davidson said, “I thought it was good, it really made you think about what was going to happen next.”
