Despite game efforts of Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and James McAvoy, superhero plot begins to crack early and shatters in the final moments.

He’s back to his old tricks again. We grew sick of those tricks years ago.

Bruce Willis’s David Dunn first appeared 19 years ago in M Night Shyamalan’s poetically turgid cult hit Unbreakable, which saw our sort-of hero mooching around Philadelphia, discovering his super-human gifts (durability and an ability to visualise people’s past crimes by touching them) and uncovering the true nature of fragile, comic-book obsessive Elijah Price (Samuel L Jackson).

M. Night Shyamalan's new one is not perfect, but "Unbreakable" fans should welcome it.

"Glass" is M. Night Shyamalan's attempt to successfully stick the landing of a trilogy he created with "Unbreakable" and "Split."

The director’s latest, starring Bruce Willis, James McAvoy, and Samuel L. Jackson, completes a trilogy begun with “Unbreakable.”

M. Night Shyamalan's latest combines the worlds of 'Unbreakable' and 'Split,' but that's where the ideas end

Anthony Lane reviews M. Night Shyamalan’s “Glass,” starring Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy, and Bruce Willis, and Joe Chappelle’s “An Acceptable Loss,” starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Tika Sumpter.

M. Night Shyamalan's meta-comic trilogy crashes into Earth with a dull splat

Put into comic-book terms, the sequel to 'Unbreakable' and 'Split' takes too long to get from one panel to the next.

Richard Brody reviews “Glass,” directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Samuel L Jackson’s villain gets his origin story as the Unbreakable and Split characters join in the fun

Shyamalan concludes his secret trilogy with a film easier to admire than love. McAvoy is terrific again, but Glass doesn’t quite live up to the lofty heights of Unbreakable and Split.

Audiences not fully versed in "Unbreakable" and "Split" will be baffled by this stylish but shallow sequel

Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

All too superhuman: M. Night Shyamalan has nerve choosing Glass as the title for a film so unashamedly non-transparent

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

M. Night Shyamalan, who specializes in twist endings, has no shortage of haters, but he’s managed to pull off some good ones almost as often as he’s botched it. After revisiting 2000’s decent “Unbreakable,” I had medium-high hopes for “Glass,” which promised to tie in the characters from that movie and “Split.”

Glass is a misfire, and it’s the kind of depressing misfire that hurts even more given what it could have been.

★★☆☆☆ Tying the worlds of Unbreakable and Split together, M. Night Shyamalan brings us a film that serves as direct sequel to both previous stories. Glass unites...

M. Night Shyamalan's new one is not perfect, but "Unbreakable" fans should welcome it.

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

M. Night Shyamalan combines the characters from "Unbreakable" and "Split" into a comic-book sequel that holds you without haunting you.

‘Unbreakable’ is amazing. ‘Split’ was great. ‘Glass’ is not.

Glass is M. Night Shyamalan’s decades-in-the-making thriller. I only wish Shyamalan’s storytelling was as lively as his pathology. His mixture of pulp and idolatry congeals on the screen. Here, a review of Glass.

Review: If James McAvoy tried any harder in this film he’d burst a blood vessel

After surprising old fans in 'Split,' M. Night Shyamalan's 'Glass' completes his long-brewing superhero trilogy.

M. Night Shyamalan's would-be victory lap is a boring slog that proves the director of "Unbreakable" and "The Sixth Sense" is gone for good.

Why has the industry constantly given him passes, when he’s done everything – Lady in the Water, The Happening, The Last Airbender, After Earth – he can to prove his detractors right?

M. Night Shyamalan's new superhero movie 'Glass' has a convoluted storyline and falls short of its predecessors 'Unbreakable' and 'Split'.

Two years ago, writer-director M. Night Shyamalan landed a worldwide success and regained his Hollywood clout with “Split,” thanks mostly to James McAvoy turning it into a sizzle-reel audition for the part he’d already secured. McAvoy’s multiple-personality serial killer character, Kevin Wendell Crumb, darted from lisping nine-year-old Hedwig to the veiny, ferocious manimal known as […]
