Glass (2019)

Director: M. Night Shyamalan. Cast: James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sarah Paulson, Spencer Treat Clark. 129 min. Rated PG-13. Sci-fi.

Imagine the potential: the (super)hero and (super)villain of one of the best sci-fis of the 2000s, together with the villain of the sequel, here to complete a trilogy. Then imagine how that potential falls flat on the face. More than half the movie goes by in preamble, for it to end in a boring anticlimactic final battle ... in an asylum's front yard? And finally a Shyamalan twist at the end which is supposed to lead to more sequels but nobody really cares about. This is "the curse of the threequel" in full force.
