SJreleased itsGlassHonest Traileronline today , to coordinate withthe film ’s arrival on Blu - shaft . you’re able to determine the television in the space below .
course , the Honest Trailer hits on most of the common complaints aboutGlass . For starter , the telecasting takes Bruce Willis to task for his mopey turn as an old David Dunn fromUnbreakable , while simultaneously poking fun at James McAvoy for go evenmoreover the top with his portrayal of Kevin Wendell Crumb ’s various personality than he did inSplit . As for Samuel L. Jackson : he ’s back as Elijah Price , but ( as the Honest Trailer point out ) it ’s surd to appreciate the player ’s performance when Elijah ’s stuck pretending to be comatose for nearly half the picture show . Beyond that , the laggard recognizes that Shyamalan was trying to makea deconstructive and pondering superhero moviehere , but argues that he mostly ended up surrender one that ’s visually static and far less intelligent that it fancies itself to be .
That being said , the trailer also study a moment to recommend Shyamalan for making"an original , ego - finance project from a true auteur"here , in an era of moviemaking that ’s all about franchises , reboots , and IP adaptations ( be they superhero - pertain or not ) . It ’s a utterly middling decimal point and one that several critics even included intheir own reviews ofGlass , back when the movie strike theatre . He might not always baffle the landing ( well , okay , he frequently does n’t ) , butnobody makes films quite like Shyamalan , and it ’s hard to not abide by the guy wire for seeing his aesthetic visions through to the end , even when he has to finance them himself .
