I've only seen the following:

- Signs: I thought it was really stupid and the payoff was very disappointing
- The Village: Honestly I was bored the whole time
- The Happening: Hilariously awful

3/10 for Glass!! Shit bro, that’s the harshest rating I’ve seen for it.

I thought it had a lot of good things in it.

reply

It might be a 4/10, not sure. I saw it in theaters and had high hopes after enjoying Split, especially with Glass's all-star ensemble cast. But I thought the film was pretty boring and had a very anticlimactic ending. Pretty sure the reason for this was the fact that Bruce Willis was basically a vegetable at this point in time and could not handle a film of this scale, so his story had to be rewritten for him to do the bare minimum.

reply

Yeah, that’s what I was gonna say: It was Bruce Willis last great movie and that kind of struck an emotional chord with me.

In 1999, when the Sixth Sense came out, if you went into that movie completely Spoiler Free, you left thoroughly satisfied by the "Twist" but if social media or someone ruined the "Twist", then they're a terrible person
