THE DUKE Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 1 hour ago, RavensTillIDie said: So conflicted!! I've been wanting to see this for so long, but the reviews are absolutely dreadful. Granted, it seems like a lot of them were expecting a more "pure" super hero film than they received, so that leaves me cautiously optimistic, but I just don't know... I'll be disappointed if the mood/setup isn't similar to Unbreakable and Split. It shouldn't be a conventional super hero movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonStark Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Loved it. Not sure what the critics were expecting based on the first two, but I thought it was really good. Didn't exceed my expectations, but definitely met them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 RT Critics gave it 36% Fans gave it 78% as of right now. Using that as my guiding star so I'm going to see it cause RT critics make horrible judgement calls nowdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually ive noticed 82% audience score is the sweet spot for a good movie. I’m expecting slightly above average here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny/Patrick Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I’ve changed my mind, I like the ending. I wish He was in the movie more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavensTillIDie Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I just got home from watching it. I don't know what the hell people were expecting going into the film, but that was EXACTLY the type of movie I thought it was going to be. Definitely enjoyed it. I mean, I can see why some people may not have liked the ending. Maybe they expected a little bit more action or for the film to adhere to the more generic superhero tropes, but Shyamalan was never going to make that kind of movie. I'd say this was on par with Split, maybe a tier below Unbreakable. Best thing I can say for those who have yet to see it, if you go into this film expecting an extension of the universe Shyamalan has created vs expecting a direct sequel or your typical closing trilogy film, you will be infinitely more satisfied leaving the theater.

Sounds about right, didn't expect a direct sequel at all, just for them all to be connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It was decent wasn't great nor horrible. Honestly wasn't that memorable . It was pretty predictable most of the way through. I feel as though the director was a little too safe. I watched it on half price movie day so it was worth the 6.80 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 It was a good movie. As usual critics dont know what their talking about. M Night may not make a sequel but I wouldnt mind seeing more movies set in this universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjab360 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 It was about what I was expected, except for the ending. M Night has his own style that's a bit pandering, but I liked McAvoy's character as I did in Split. I do wonder what he could have done with a larger budget, but his name just doesn't carry the same weight it did following a number of big budget disappointments.

devils1854 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Bravo, Shamalamadinhdong! thats how you make a comic book movie and turn it on it’s head by simply using normal comic tropes. Excellent movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
