Critics Consensus

Glass displays a few glimmers of M. Night Shyamalan at his twisty world-building best, but ultimately disappoints as the conclusion to the writer-director's long-gestating trilogy.

This may not be M. Night Shyamalan's worst movie, though it's surely his most disappointing.

You have to admire the nerve of Shyamalan for attempting something like this-and indeed, for choosing Glass as the title for a film so unashamedly non-transparent.

2/5

With a movie jumping from character to character so often, it just didn't have flow or pacing or tone.

7.5/10

Shyamalan brought something new to the table that is not quite like any other superhero film. His use of the hero, the villain, and the outer forces of power has been brought to life wonderfully.

might find its monologues about comic books pretentious. However, I believe it comes from a genuine love of comics from Shyamalan. [...] Some may dislike it for its overflowing uniqueness, but I ended up quite captivated with it.

B-

Glass unfortunately gets bogged down in overtly precise plot mechanics and not trusting the audience to keep up that it falters in the narrative progression and thematic clarity...

Bruce Willis is solid. As always. The rest of the cast is great. Some odd shifts in tone but overall enjoyable.

While I understand why many were disappointed by this, it absolutely worked for me. Sure, it wasn’t as epic or thrilling as it could’ve been, and no, not everything was handled perfectly. It tried to juggle perhaps too many subplots and has some very questionable world building implications, but overall, I was left satisfied with how this ended. I think it makes sense thematically, most of the character arcs ended on a note that felt fitting, and in a world where we have so many epic MCU battles and superhero action, it wasn’t worst thing to see kind of a change of pace with it being more character-driven than action-driven. It is an M. Knight Shamaylan movie, after all. So yeah, not perfect, and definitely the weakest of the three, but I thought it was a solid, satisfying enough conclusion.

Glass is criminally misunderstood. This film isn’t trying to be a loud superhero finale — it’s a psychological deconstruction of the genre itself. M. Night Shyamalan commits fully to a grounded, human-scale ending, and that restraint is exactly why critics missed the point. James McAvoy delivers one of the most impressive performances I’ve ever seen. The control, range, and physical transformation across Kevin, The Horde, and The Beast is masterclass acting, not "genre acting." If you came in expecting spectacle, you’ll be disappointed. If you came in paying attention to character, theme, and consequence, Glass is deeply rewarding. The low critic score says more about expectations than execution.
