Didn't hate it, but it wasn't up to par with Unbreakable and Split. Felt way too much time was spent in the ward with little going on. Didn't really care for the new twist/reveal, but that has potential to go forward if done right.
McAvoy was great. Willis was good. Jackson was decent; which really threw me off as the film bears his character's name. Was expecting to be dazzled by him.
Hoping that if I let some time pass and I watch it again, it improves, maybe small things I missed first go-around.
Enjoyed it
And honestly I’m starting to depend less and less on critics as times goes by

Is this REALLY a problem? Wouldn't this be about as credible to the public as UFO videos, and this easily discredited as a hoax?
I mean, the resources this group has, they must have media and government officials in their pocket, along with experts in various fields useful in brainwashing people who think they have super powers.
I just thought the reveal was kind of weak, and not the silver bullet the movie pretended.

Re: So, the end of Glass. (Spoiler alert)
I think you underestimate how much Glass f...ed them over. Remember, their first plan was to convince the powers they are delusional. They would question themselves and lose faith and confidence in themselves until eventually they just became some more pilled-out crazies.
Then Glass showed up. They could handle everything superpowered, but they were woefully underequipped to handle Glass. So, when Glass busted them out, the organisation's second plan was just to kill everybody and bury all the evidence. This was not ideal, as you had the risk of them becoming martyrs, but still better than letting the story leak out.
But they still underestimated Glass. And when the footage leaked, and the Doc lost her s... it was exactly because the worst thing they could imagine happened. Yes, you could claim the footage was fake - but it only needs a couple of people to believe. And just one of them has to have a power.
And now, if you realise powers are real, you will also know there is a secret organisation hunting powers. So any new powers will make sure to stay under the radar as much as possible, making the organisation's task a hundred times more difficult.
And with social media it's not hard to confirm stuff. A guy in a mask picks up a truck. Then the video goes viral. The guy goes on Ellen or Good Morning America or something and shows it's real in front of a live audience and thousands of viewers.
Yeah, I tend to agree with some of this. Although I will add that I really liked Split and enjoyed McAvoy in that role, but in this he came across as more annoying to me. Not his fault, I don't think. More a fault of the writing and direction.
It was still a clever premise and I can admire that on a certain level, but I just didn't find it particularly compelling and some parts were even unintentionally funny, like Beast running on all fours.. haha..
