This is not the kind of seriousness that superheroes need.: Critic Review for Glass on Moviebuff.com

There are multiple points throughout Glass when you find yourself wondering exactly when it is that the story is going to start.

Eric Eisenberg, Cinema Blend

An entertaining end to M Night Shyamalan’s superhero trilogy.

Simran Hans, The Guardian

Glass feels like a movie that’s almost 10 years too late.

Alan Cerny, ComingSoon.net

There is a lot going on in Glass, an ambitious film from M Night Shyamalan, seeking to establish his own superhero franchise.

Shalini Langer, Indian Express

“Glass” is still a relatively enjoyable ride overall.

Adam Mast, Suindependent.com

This is not the kind of seriousness that superheroes need.

MaryAnn Johanson, FlickFilosopher.com

M. Night Shyamalan tries to paste two movies together to create a cinematic universe.

Scott Renshaw, Salt Lake City Weekly

Alita: Battle Angel is worth your penny if you are looking for a good, action-packed, entertaining spectacle.

Rucha Sharma, DNA

It's a misfire that fails to reach the bars set by Unbreakable and Split.

Sandy Schaefer, Screen Rant

While Alita: Battle Angel has its flaws in its narrative, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that this film is meant for a theatrical experience and in that department, it will surely dazzle you.

Shibaji Roychoudhury, Times Now

James McAvoy steals the show in jaw-dropping end to trilogy.

Riley Cardoza, Hollywood Life

M Night Shyamalan unites Bruce Willis, James McAvoy and Samuel L Jackson for his own version of the Avengers, to unsatisfying results.

Rohan Naahar, Hindustan Times

Glass owes a great deal of debt to its predecessors for making it look presentable.

Chris Carter, CG Magazine

Glass feels very much like a single act of a movie stretched out to feature length.

Sam Adams, Slate Magazine

“Glass” is a sequel that feels more dutiful than necessary.

Owen Gleiberman, Variety

It’s so split between an entertaining first half and unsatisfying weirdness in the second that it’s hard to recommend.

George Haerle, The Daily World

‘Glass’ is an emotionally captivating and enthralling culmination of the two stories that were previously presented in ‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Split.’

Karen Benardello, Shockya.com

Glass doesn't break under pressure, tops box office second week in a row.

Maureen Lee Lenker, Entertainment Weekly

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

Rosie Knight, IGN

It’s consistently engaging, if a bit dour, and McAvoy is especially delightful as he flits through all 23 of his character’s personalities.

Fletcher Powell, KMUW

Glass is a terrific and fitting conclusion to the trilogy, especially for those of us who have been waiting so long for this.

Damond Fudge, KCCI Des Moines

“Glass” is that its mildly intriguing meta-textual narrative is so much richer and more compelling than the asinine story that Shyamalan tells on its surface.

David Ehrlich, Indiewire

Glass is terrific but has its share of underwhelming moments.

Renuka Vyavahare, The Times of India

Glass feels more like fanfiction from its own creator rather than anything that functions and flows organically.

Robert Kojder, Flickering Myth

The filmmaker connects bits of his two best movies into one chin-stroking thriller about why we need superheroes.

David Fear, Rolling Stone

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

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Glass does have something in common with its predecessor, though; as it stumbles to a surprisingly moving conclusion.

Margot Harrison, Seven Days

Glass is the first film of M. Night’s second period to feel like it belongs with the hits from the first.

Drew Wheeler, flagpole

“Glass” serves as a weird meta-critique of the comic book genre but also embraces it.

Micah Mertes, Omaha World-Herald

“Glass” isn’t a terrible film but neither is it a particularly good one.

Ty Burr, The Boston Globe

Despite some fine performances, the film doesn’t quite live up to its previous film but is still entertaining to watch.

Ryan Grow, San Diego Entertainer Magazine

It’s an entertaining treat for anyone who can appreciate M. Night Shyamalan’s ingenious take on the superhero genre.
