Chris Stuckmann reviews Split, starring James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, Betty Buckley, Jessica Sula, Haley Lu Richardson. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
People are saying he deserved an oscar, i doubt the academy is willing to give a man 24 oscars at once.
WALZ97
XD
the porblem is more that he doesnt have a big cry scene and can be a bit over the top sometimes(which i liked, in the context of the movie)
WALZ97 as long as he is white, they wont
don't worry he barely acts 3 to 5 people
WALZ97 I dont think this movie counts for oscar 2017 but maybe for next year. since they may count this as a 2017 movie.... I hope bcuz james totally deserved to be nominated etc etc!!
McAvoy killed that part.... Oscar performance... etcetera.
trompetayritmo hardly
Valiant Thor Ok lol your opinion is your opinion but it's complete shit
true, i'd love to see him get an oscar nod. but the year has just begun, and i honestly can't wait for more amazing oscar-worthy performances this year.
Noah Banjo stop crying little bitch
Thomas C Right lol
Just watched Split tonight, and oh man was it a freaking great supervillain movie! I can't believe I just watched an origin story that is connected to a classic superhero movie way back in the 2000s, the ending just totally blew my mind and made me said "Holy Shit" over and over again. There's possibility that Shyamalan gonna rival the MCU and DCU with his own cinematic universe, aka SCU, lol.
fuck yes
He certainly has beaten the DC Universe
Another thing you didn't mention as far as The Unbreakable tie-in goes is the fact McAvoy's character's father died on the train that Bruce Willis survived. That's why Kevin laid down the bouquet of flowers at the train station. So not only did Mr. Glass create a Super Hero (Bruce Willis). But he also created a Villain (James McAvoy). The death of Kevin's mother caused him to go off the deep end.
hmmmm, I thought it was just some random subway. Willis' was an actual cross country style passenger train
WHAT?!?!?!
WolverinesNation92 is this for real?? than it would be so much more insane after knowing that holy shit
WolverinesNation92 MIND BLOWN WITH A SHOTGUN. GOOD FIND!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT DUDE
YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND
LMFAOOO M. Night. Shyamalan made a better super hero than DC and a better villain than Marvel.
Mr. Mojo Risin omfg so true 😂😂😂
Mr. Mojo Risin Pretty much
Haha, oh my God. This comment made my day.
PokeMadness1996 did you forget about Heath Ledger's Joker?
AJ gaming that would be a DC viliian.
Yes! The great thing about the plot twist in Split is that its layered. The first one hits you when he starts becoming the beast. The twist there is that his fractured personality created a real manifestation of his madness. The second twist occurs at the very end with the Bruce Willis cameo. It's all taken place in the Unbreakable universe, and the entire movie was an origin story for a super villain. And the third twist, at least for me, was on the car ride home. I realized that "Horde" is the perfect foil to Bruce Willis's character, David Dunn. He believes that the broken people in life are the pure ones. They see things differently because they've had difficulty in their lives. That is, after all, why he lets Casey go. He sees that she's been broken. Well, I would venture to guess Horde is not going to take to kindly to a person who is impervious to damage. The entire film sets him up to be diametrically opposed to Dunn. Brilliant. M Night has redeemed himself in my book. I'm on board.
Nightmare Masterclass awesome comment
Nightmare Masterclass omg I never thought about that. Mr. Glass is the definition of a "broken man" and David Dunn is their enemy , everything they are not and never could be! I did not even think about that angle .
Wendell Crumb is both though. He’s broken because of the abuse he went through in his childhood but when he’s in beast mode he’s unbreakable, I mean the shot guns did go through. Now imagine two unbreakable people (David Dunn and The Beast) fighting each other. I can’t wait to see that.
Im pretty sad because a friend told me that Mr Glass is the villain of Unbreakable and I read somewhere that Split takes place in the same universe as Unbreakable. I loved The Beast stuff though, cant wait for Glass next week.
DAMN I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT! THAT'S AWESOME!
Hedwig is legit the best child actor working in Hollywood
Bryden Speiss etc?
Bryden Speiss Honestly, that was my favorite personality. I'll miss that character a lot when he moves on with other roles. I doubt he'll ever top this performance.
Whose Haley Joel Osment? One of those Mormon Osmond kids???
Those dance moves tho
He was entertaining but I thought it was the worst personality just because how inconsistent he was, I'd use Hedwig alone as evidence that this split personality people are fake, he's like the idea of what a kid is for Shyamalan, sometimes he sounds like a 4 year old sometimes like a teen sometimes like a psycopath and he's supposed to be 9 he's all over the place in my opinion.
So that's it huh, we're some kind of Split?
Solid Snake lmfaoo
Solid Snake bruh stop 😒.
Solid Snake what is the origin of the joke?? cant find it anywhere and its hilarious
SUICIDE SQUAD
SUICIDE SQUAD
Shyamalan Cinematic Universe
Keddie Valerio
If M. Night continues the Universe
I would cast other actors as the new heroes
•Adrien Brody
• Katherine Langford
• Dylan Minnette
Adrien Brody’s end credit with show David Dunn (Bruce Willis)
Katherine Langford’s end credit will show Dylan Minette’s character
And Dylan Minette’s end credit will show Adrien Brody’s character
Once they have their own movies, they’ll become the Avengers
This movie was good, and etc
Rejoice! etc
lich5164four YOU ARE PUOOOORRRRRR! etc
lich5164four I just ate a hot dog
"Can I kiss you"
"Yes"
Kiss*
"Now you're pregnant"
joe mcnoe The movie...Split...
Who noticed the Kanye shout out? I don't think it is a coincidence. In Kanyes first hit song (as a rapper) in 2003 "through the wire" he has a verse "unbreakable, what you thought, they'd call me Mr.Glass" and that was M. Nights way of returning the favor 14 years later.
Dude.......My head just exploded
wjepps09 also if you actually concentrate on the part where Dennis describes the beast to Dr. Fletcher, you'll realise that he's literally describing the beast in Mr Glass's first comic book cover where a superman figure was fighting a beast.
OMG! That flew over me but it makes perfect sense! I really think MNS still got it and I hope to see more of his work despite people dissing him as a bad director/writer
ok NOW it makes sense!!! lmao!!! "I was like Kanye? why!?"
damn this guy need a credit too you are giving me chills
Split is a mega hit movie. Collected $ 150 million for a $9 million budget. Night Shyamalan is BACK baby !
RoyalBob 300+
It´s not about the money , as a matter of fact , Shyamalan´s best movies are the ones on low budget , he said "Glass" would be on a low budget aswell.
However , i agree with you , he´s back for good
RoyalBob paranormal activity made millions spending thousands, doesn't make it s good movie. I liked split, but money for cheap doesn't equal great.
RoyalBob WTF?!!!!!
brice cate but i think money does means that people are gonna be enthusiastic about shyamalan and the sequel
Could the flowers that Mcavoy laid at the train station before turning into the beast could represent his parents die in the train crash that Dunn survivors! Therefore Mr Glass made a superhero and villain at the same time
Norwich city FC fan tv thats an awesome idea!
Norwich city FC fan tv (GASP) DUDE I LOVE THIS THEORY!!!
I can see this being a fan theory
yes
You win.
When I heard Bruce Willis say "Mr Glass" I yelled "Oh shit"
RNDS 24 me and my friend had the exact same reaction while everyone else in the theatre was looking at us like we're crazy
Yeah I said "What the fuck" coz I had no idea what it was about
Yeah because there was such a gap in between the movies most people didn't get it. I watched this movie with six of my friends and all of them thought it was dumb because of the ending so I had to explain to them that their was another movie before this.
RNDS 24 same when i saw it yesterday i screamed so loud a girl behind me to told me to shut the fuck up
I almost punched the air
i loved the 24 toothbrushes
I just got out of Split and I haven't seen Unbreakable yet... I'm ashamed.
gearmast3r Me too.... me too......
Same :( When they had the diner scene at the end my theater was like "OH SHIT!" and I was just like what's going on lol.
gearmast3r you can watch it on hbo go
Yeah i was walking out of the theater flipping through my phone like "did I missed anything?" Lol
im sorry
M. Night Shamalyan has been redeemed as a Director.
Lol no!
Mario lol yes, this and the visit were good Imo.
Someone who made the Last Airbender movie will never be redeemed.
***** Mel Gibson was redeemed with Hacksaw Ridge after he made those racist comments.
Elektra The Visit was cringy af
What's so bad about the beast? I mean, he was climbing on walls, busting bars and tearing flesh, sounds like a better villain than I've seen from any superhero movie
TheBoyLance Nah.
Better than any Marvel villain for sure
Scott is Class Marvel and D.C.
Scott is Class The winter soldier...one of the best villains after kevin
Gaby Zico He isn't even a villain
I will never watch The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe the same way again.
TheQuery Mr Tummus ;)
TheQuery Or the new X-Men trilogy
TheQuery haha
He'll always be Mr. Tumnus to me!
Maybe in a future movie there will be a Shyamalan double twist and Kevin is really a clone of Professor X but his telepathy skills got him fd up and he developed another mutation that is the beast personality. Or something insane like that. A crossover between the X-men universe and Shyamalan's Unbreakable/Split universe, now that is a twist I wanna see. xDD
I just watched it. What a movie. Totally stumped by it. It is a keeper. As soon as the music started I knew whats happening. Also, it is not a twist. It is just a reveal with willis cameo.
goutham edara It's a twist because you didn't know it was in the Unbreakable universe. All this time you thought it was a stand alone movie.
BeastSlayer14 the reveal only adds to the story. It does not change our perception. Sixth sense has twist as well as visit and village too. The rest doesnt.
goutham edara you just explained a twist. haha
BeastSlayer14 no. That is what we call a reveal. Twist is something that changes ur view towards the movie. The ending doesnt take away anything that came before. It only adds to it
goutham edara Wikipedia A plot twist is a radical change in the expected direction or outcome of the plot of a novel, film, television series, comic, video game, or other work of narrative.[1] It is a common practice in narration used to keep the interest of an audience, usually surprising them with a revelation. Some "twists" are foreshadowed.
When a plot twist happens near the end of a story, especially if it changes one's view of the preceding events, it is known as a surprise ending.[2] Sometimes people use a plot twist to describe a sudden change of a situation in real life. It is often assumed that revealing the existence of a plot twist spoils a film or book, since the majority of the film/book generally builds up to the plot twist; however, at least one study suggests otherwise.[3]
It's a twist but since it's at the end I guess you can call it a surprise ending too. Feels like the same thing to me.
When I saw Bruce Willis at the end, I freaked! I jumped off the couch and started slapping the ground with my hands yelling "yaasssss!"......My boyfriend at the time said "you are the weirdest girl I've ever dated, this movie is dumb" I knew in that moment we weren't meant to be lol
Laura Hoke good lass
Glad he's an ex!
LOL!
It's very important to recognize the signs when something won't work out and act on it.
@@andreo After a while you gain a sort of sixth sense for these things, and your heart becomes unbreakable.
And 'the beast' hates impure people who have never been hurt, David Dunn has never been hurt, epic showdown ahead!
He's been hurt emotionally and mentally, but the Beast would have no way of knowing that.
Like you said, this showdown will be awesome.
Oh yeeees baby, that´s true! Didn´t think about that, thanx! Now I´m even more amazed! Can´t wait for the next movie!
It'll be interesting to see what happens if the Beast learns David's story.
He'll probably have respect for David, but it will be one of those "i respect you but i won't let you stand in my way" things.
George Gascoigne he said "the broken are the more evolved" and David Dunn is.... unbreakable.
He almost drowned as a kid.
Oscar Isaac Dance Scene in Ex Machina
or
James McAvoy Dance Scene in Split
Toby Maguire in Spiderman 3.
Always.
oscar isaac dance and singing scene on deleted scene of sucker punch. also, ANY dance scene of Sam Rockwell.
It's a tie between Oscar Isaac in Ex Machina, and Ben Mendelsohn in Lost River
haha Im picturing sam Rockwell dancing in Charlie's Angels god that scene made me cringe so much as a kid.
James McAvoy cause he danced solo and pulled out all the dance freak moves!
Thith wath a good movie, ekthetera
FDB what are we? Some kind of kingsman?
Naj K lol XD
Which line was better, "You guys are being bitches, I'm going to slap you" or "You might be pregnant now."
That was the cutest comment etcetera
Hedwig was my favorite one
So Chris,
Did you forget to mention the time that you _split_ my neck?
Zod's Snapped Neck please go away you unfunny little shit
Aren't you the neck tho? So wouldn't you say ME???? Lol shit
Zod's Snapped Neck this meme will never die! Hahahaha
Zod's Snapped Neck so a neck has a neck?
Zod's Snapped Neck please never stop. This gets funnier each time
James McAvoy was simply amazing and deserves an OSCAR for this performance. M. Night Shyamalan is once again at the top of his game when frankly I thought little of his last few movies. The ending was mind blowing and ended with my favorite character from all of his movies. This movie is a must SEE!!!!!!!
Rob M yes! He was perfect!!
Rob M saw it today n I think Im gonna see it again tomorrow! !
Rob M I will be pissed if he doesn't !
Alice Alice yes he was !
Chris, you missed the point of the 'girl in the car' scene at the end. Notice how the following shot lingers on the lion statue? her ordeal with Kevin, gives her the courage to finally face her Uncle and 'deal' with him. Lion=courage. Get it?
wiseguy100 it also represents the awakening of the beast as well. It's lamenting the strength that came out of so much blood and so much loss. The same kind of bloodshed and loss that would come out of a lion hunting.
@Illusion I think you mixed them up with hyenas there. Not only are lions great hunters (their females to be more precise who do all the work in that field), but their hunting techniques continue to baffle the world even to this day. They hunt down anything from gazelles, to zebras and water buffaloes among many other animals much bigger than they are. I'd watch some Discovery Channel or National Geographic if I were you :P
The fact that it was in a zoo, and all that let's pretend we are animals with her uncle just added to that haunting car scene
The problem with the ending of SPLIT is that it assumes you've seen UNBREAKABLE. I went to see SPLIT with a group of four friends and every one of us said "huh?" at the end. Shyamalan made a mistake by including a twist that only makes sense to M Night fans.
My big question would be why you any of you HAVEN'T seen Unbreakable? It's an amazing movie that everyone should watch. And it's been out for 17 years. How have you not gotten around to it?
No, I completely agree. I'm going to watch Unbreakable sometime this week but it is definitely not one of those movies EVERYONE has seen.
It's Brian Byrne My best friend watched with me,she hasn't seen it and she still loved it so I don't think ruins anything.
***** That's a real shame and I'm sorry you wound up only feeling confused. Unbreakable is one of my favourite movies of all time, so my jaw was on the floor. Hopefully you'll enjoy and appreciate the ending once you watch Unbreakable. :)
The real question is; after you learned this, did you then want to see Unbreakable?
Should I see unbreakable before this?
TheBreakDownTv Yes. Just because Unbreakable is a great film, and it makes Split even greater!
TheBreakDownTv good job watching the spoiler review...
Thanks guys
just seen split today and just finished unbreakable and i still found it just as amazing tho! didn't do yourself a favour watching this first tho 😂
Connor Webb I watched the spoiler review since I already knew the twist and had zero interest is a m.night movie ... now I kinda want to see it so makes me wonder why they tried to hide this was part of unbreakable from a Business standpoint I'm sure the studio wasn't on board with this
Usually, it's Sam Jackson who does the recruiting at the end of every movie...but Bruce Willis will do.
Kenny Tee now, he does the recruiting of both the villain and the heros in one train accidenr 18 years ago. He has to do everything himself.
Sam will still be doing the recruiting.
Let’s just let them fight.
I love a good comeback.
Ben Affleck
Mel Gibson
Shyamalan.
Yes, Affleck made a good comeback these past years. Then he almost totally ruined it in one gangster movie...
Yo moma
Hilversumborn Kim Kardashian
Don't forget RDJ.
Ben Affleck made a comeback?
In my theater, nobody got the ending...
Some guy in front of me was telling his wife about the ending. That made me feel better for not being the only one who understood.
I had to do this with my girlfriend today x'D
....I'm 14 and I got the ending lol
I'm -2, sorry for my bad English
Unbreakable is not a hugely popular movie. But for me, my mind exploded.
Lol I was literally the only one in the theatre that has seen unbreakable, so when the unbreakable score came on and we saw Bruce Willis I freaked the actual fuck out and everybody else was like wtf is this I don't understand any of it
Haha same!! My friend's got really annoyed at me and said "care to share?". I was so excited that I couldn't get the words out!
Grrrr, people are so annoying, why can't they have no life and just watch movies like me?
exactly
Do you want medal for that?
Amber Verberne Amazing haha 😀. I already got the ending spoiled, because I didn't really want to see Split. I actually didn't like the idea of having a character with 23-24 different personalities in one movie. I thought that was too much, and would just be too much to keep up with, and would be too confusing, but when I decided to see the movie, I'm glad that they chose to show mainly 5 of those personalities, so you get an idea of how crazy this guy is, but you're not over stacked with too many personalites. But, I decided to give the movie a chance after I got the ending spoiled!! Grr. 😠But without that spoiler I wouldn't have known that Split and Unbreakable were set in the same universe. Anyways, I saw the ending first online, and it completely blew my mind. And I knew that I had to see Split. I actually wish I didn't get it spoiled, and got dragged to see Split by someone who actually wanted to see it, because I would have loved to get a bigger reaction out of myself seeing that pan out on the big screen, without it being spoiled first, and then I would have also loved to see the theater's reactions, and see so many people freaking out, and seeing the people they were with, who haven't seen Unbreakable be so confused.
I FUCKING LOVE IT! SEQUEL! SEQUELS! ALL OF THEM! FUCK YES! M. NIGHT IS BACK BITCHES!
I'm sorry, but no one else around me realizes how awesome this is! I have to get this out somehow!
Me too, HE BACK YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS !!!!
I do.
I've been pissed as Shyamalan for years now. From the overrated Signs to the travesty that was Last Airbender he kept finding new ways to frustrate me.
But this? Split reminded me just how good he once was, and made me grin like an idiot as I realized that he's well and truly back!
mmh not quite, but almost...
Juan X you're stupid and you don't know how to like a good movie
he is soooo back..
Chris, I think Shyamalan is borrowing from eastern philosophy/spirituality. IE all the ancient stories about men that trained their minds/bodies to the point of being superhuman, Journey to the West(dragonball's roots), Bodidharma(the creator of the first fighting system, martial art), etcetera. Even contemporary Bhuddist monks study for decades to change their physiology through meditation. It is(in my opinion) a fun, interesting and rewarding topic to research. I hope you got something form my ramblings, whomever may read this!
A.J.W. Hackert considering Shyamalan is from India I think you make a strong point.
Aw, Thank you Hilversumborn, I hate how suprised I get to find a positive reply to a comment, but thank you nontheless.
You're correct, and I think another thing people don't realize is the idea of a person with multiple personality disorder having a disease with one personality and not having it with another is an actual phenomenon. So all of these people who can't "buy into the premise" kind of annoy me right now.
You're welcome
A.J.W. Hackert skxkxkxlx?

I saw the movie yesterday in an empty theater. Best movie going experience ever. I was the only one there, Split was a fantastic movie.
The Creepernator the look of the beast when he puts his face between the iron bars and bends them is unforgettable.what a fucking scene! I never saw unbreakable and I don't understand why he didn't kill that girl.
Jeffrey Kaufmann ok first 1. You gotta see see Unbreakable it’s awesome and 2. because of the sexual abuse when she went camping with her uncle and for years after she became socially awkward and the cuts on her stomach were her way of dealing with the mental torture her uncle inflicted upon her at such a young age
King TJ you still didn't explain why he didn't kill that girl .
Jeffrey Kaufmann he went through abuse himself under his mother and because of this he developed the 24 personalities to cope with trauma of being abused.Out of this one of the personalities (the "beast" ) believes because of the abuse he is stronger than the rest of the humans and he believes because he is broken he is pure the rest who are not broken are impure.He also belives that the impure should be purged.The girl had undergone sexual abuse under her uncle and is broken and so in his eyes she is pure so he lets her go.
I am so happy I avoided any potential spoilers before I saw this movie. I went as far as to not watch any videos from the normal people I follow who posted non-spoiler reviews. It's the first time I've done that and it completely paid off.
I'm kind of disappointed with this spoiler review, because it mainly focuses on the twist, which is fine, but I would have wanted a longer video that delve more into the actual movie itself, rather than gushing over the amazing twist. I would have wanted to hear more about Casey and just how the movie plays out from Chris's perspective. please make an analysis video, I'm interested in learning more about this film than what I already learn, I just can't really do that with this video. I'm trying not to sound mad, I'm not, but I just see this review as a mischance to talk about the film in better depth. Alas, I loved this movie, and I can't wait for what M. Night has in store for us in the future.
PMM526 yesss please!
You are aware that he has a review of the movie that he already made and the only point of this review is to talk about the twist ending itself. Please actually go to his channel before commenting.
Alex Surface He's talking about how he wanted to hear Chris's opinion on parts and elements, or maybe sequences in the movie he couldn't talk about in a spoiler free review, please actually try to think about the persons statement before commenting
There is a brief appearance by Kevin as a child with his Mother in Unbreakable at the 53:52 minute mark...Check it out everybody...
whaaaat
@lowserver2 ...Oh yeah...It's a quick scene...Blink and you might miss it...
whoooooooooaaaaaaa
I saw it frame by frame I did not saw it where is it, its the scene where Mr glass is following the man with the gun please tell me where were they
hmm, I just got out of Split and every person was confused by the ending..I heard a guy say "oh, Bruce Willis is in the 6th sense, but I haven't seen that."...this reveal will be wasted on so many people.
Sadly yes
On a positive note, a lot more people are going to watch Unbreakable now, and in a whole different light (pun intended).
I just ate a hot dog
Victor Martinez a.k.a. beefsticks36 -_-
My name is Hedwig, and I have red socks.
barbaro267 I also have blue socks.
when the unbreakable score came on at the end my first reaction was "That's lazy, why is he recycling the score from his previous movie?". I was wrong. it wasn't lazy, it was great.
I'd give it in an A-. I really hope he carries on the Split/Unbreakable franchise
Ben Crossley he is filming the sequel called Glass starring all characters
People keep using the word "twist" for this movie. There was no twist. The Beast showing up wasn't a twist. They told us it would come ever since he was first mentioned. Not a twist. The end scene with Bruce Willis---not a twist. A clever reveal, perhaps, but not a twist. The ending of The Sixth Sense was a twist, sure. And ever since then everyone makes a big deal about the Shyamalan twists, like it's his "thing" and so you look for a twist. Anyway, not a big deal. Just kinda got on my nerves how Chris kept calling everything a twist. Bleh.
It is a twist. The movie is marketed as an original psychological thriller. The twist is that it's actually a super villain origin story.
Not really. Any superhero/villain could be a psychological thriller. They're more of a subject than a separate genre
joe sights do you know what original means? I'n not debating film genres. This movie is marketed as a stand alone ORIGINAL thriller. When, in fact, it takes place in the same universe as Unbreakable. It's a direct sequel. That is a huge twist.
Calling the end of Split a twist is like calling the post credits scene of Iron Man a twist just because Nick Fury shows up to sets up the Avengers. An impactful ending is different than a proper plot twist. People get confused because the shocking value is pretty much the same, sometimes even bigger, but the story itself doesn't take another path. You might argue that Split turns into a different movie, but it doesn't, since the story we watched before doesn't change, it remains the same linear thing.
Junior Rossoni all the nick fury post credit scenes are bonus scenes. They don't add to the movies' endings. You won't be missing anything if you skip them. However, splits final scene is instrumental to the plot. If that scene didn't exist, this would've just been an original thriller (like it was marketed as).
I watched this film last night in a small theater filled with teenagers (26 years old myself), and I was so nervous they would ruin it. But as soon as it started, and one shout out joke was thoroughly ignored, the audience was totally engrossed in the story. I'm so PUMPED for any future films in this universe. I loved this movie, and all the tense parts made me smile with excitement! (I guess my response to tension is to get hyper, I dunno, haha).
Meghan Callaghan Did they get the ending?
there is hope for them after all...
What were your thoughts on Glass? Personally, I felt that it dropped its own potential by being cliched when it shouldn’t have and somehow also being overly complicated when it was trying to not be derivative.
Maybe my hopes (and the budget) were just too high for this one.
the movie was genius i have been gagging for an unbreakable sequel for 17 years.
Remember how Jouquin Phoenix acted in Signs when he saw the news program with the alien? Literally me at the end of Split.
When the best was pulling the bars apart I was like “holy shit 😮”
Ikr that was insane
So if David Dunn touches "The horde" whose actions will he see? The person itself or that particular personality's actions?
Lazarus Pitts Smart
He will probably get a headache
Just the possibility is so exciting!!!!!
Maybe he wouldnt be able to get a "reading", because they would be too conflicting.
Think about. Usually, he would be able to find the victim or a clue, but against the Horde/Beast it wouldnt work, making him even more of a nemesis.
Lazarus Pitts, your suggestion ALONE is fascinating enough that I HOPE someday that Shyamalan explores that idea and presents it in a movie! Well done!
Nobody got the twist in the theatre but me and my friend and we just said there for like 5 minutes saying "what the fuck omg omg holy shit"
Anthony Colston lol ikr luckily i watched unbreakable and the ending was better than the whole movie
When I saw it opening night in theaters and David Dunn was revealed at the end, half of the theater (including my girlfriend at the time) said, "What?", and the other half, including me, screamed "WHAT!"
So excited for Glass.
Critical reception to the movie seems... split
Shekelberg Goldstein I know this is a joke. But nah, actually it's pretty positive.
So now I have to go watch Unbreakable to get the full awesomeness of split?
Joshua Osborne No, you can still enjoy Split completely on its own. Watching Unbreakable just makes it even better.
When I watched the movie in theaters, towards the end I was like, "Hmm...where have I heard this music before?....wait is that Bruce Willis?....Did he just mention Mr Glass?....Oh shit, this is in the same universe as Unbreakable!"
Overall, even without that reveal. I enjoyed the magical realism of the film.
Not gonna lie, this ending might make me forgive M. Night for The Last Airbender.. I know, I know, but that was one of the best endings I've ever seen in my entire life. Half of my theater went "HOLY SHIT!!!". This type of shit is why I love movies. Insane
Alex Love for me it makes me forgave him for the happening lol
The biggest twist for me was watching this review and realizing it wasn’t Jude Law the whole time but some fella named “James McAvoy”.
This USB only the second time I remember gasping super loudly in a theater (the first being when Thanos showed up in Avengers). Unbreakable is also one of my favorite movies ever, so I can't wait for the third film (which Shymalan did confirm was happening during an interview at a festival). Even withought the twist though, it's a great movie. Definitely the best January movie I've seen, that's for sure.
Side note, I think Kevin's power is an ability to adapt. Dennis came after he began suffering abuse from his mother, and the beast came after he surrounded himself with animals. Maybe Patricia is supposed to serve as a mother he never had, and Henry is supposed to help him live out a real childhood. It's a cool concept for a super villain, and a great way to keep the (semi)realism of Unbreakable in tact.
Just saw this film! FINALLY, an Unbreakable sequel!
I live in Italy and I just now got to see this movie. The movie was really good to me up until the end, the whole question of suffering touched me in a deep way.
I never felt a more genuine surprise in a movie theatre than watching Bruce Willis at the end. I was crying, laughing, shaking, man what a ride this film was
Holy moly the ending was so unexpected
Just been to watch it, unbelievable performance from James McAvoy, he's come along way since his Shameless days
*Kisses Chris* - _"You might be pregnant now"_
the bar has been set so low for shyamalan, that everyone is calling this just-okay thriller a "return to form". cmon people, STANDARDS!
Please review It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
what's that about
Kaylyn Evans a mad world
Eww your profile picture, what the hell is that?
Upvoted because of your avatar
LittleGojira That's one of my favorite comedies of all time! It'd be really cool if Chris reviews it
Man, M. Night is back. I loved this movie, and I love McAvoy even more than I previously did.
M. Nights best movie in opinion. McAvoy really is the beast in this movie
Chris please do a Analyzed Review of The Neon Demon, you haven't mentioned the film since your original review of it
right!!!
Who else is here because they are pumped for Glass?
ARE YOU GOING TO REVIEW "A Monster Calls"?
I really enjoyed this movie, it was so Amazing
McAvoy’s performance was so brilliant, especially when he turned into the beast at the end, I actually had a panic attack in the theatre and spend the rest of the night at home crying for hours! I’ll NEVER watch this film again, but it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen and he should have won an Oscar!
The James McAvoy movie that had me crying at the end was Filth. That movie had me in a weird headspace for awhile after that. It came out before Split.
why would you say physical abuse? when it was CLEARLY sexual abuse. The naked uncle saying come on lets play wild animals again. Really?
OutRageBubba she made them
OutRageBubba she selfed harmed herself
Had the exact same reaction to the beast
Hi Chris, I just watched Split the past Saturday and it was Incredible! I was on the edge of my seat! Seeing the movie for the second time tonight!
Chris, it's actually true about how they can change certain things in each personality.
If Shyamalan's next movie is the Unbreakable sequel with Bruce Willis returning and James McAvoy reprising his role as the main villain, that will be my most anticipated movie of the year it comes out unless its released the same year as Star Wars Episode 9.
When I heard the Unbreakable theme after the beast escaped and was in the room, i knew something was up. The music gave it away. And then I saw David Dunn...pandemonium!
Hopefully this movie doesn't blow up Shyamalan's ego. It'd suck if after this great movie he went back to making pretentious shlock
Nicholas Ware Lady In the Water 👀👀
Yeah, also my thought.
The doctor said Kevin's father "left" on a train. Do you think he actually died on the same train that David Dunn was on?
Split was a fantastic movie. Just LOVED it. :)
I've been watching reviews after seeing the movie earlier tonight. I've actually been looking to see if anyone touched on the controversy (many people boycotted the film and signed a petition over the "demonizing" portrayal of mental illness). But this is the best review I've seen yet. Well done! Furthermore, I don't think the controversy is fair because none of those people have actually seen the film. It would give things away, but I'll just say the mental illness is handled rather delicately and, in fact, almost presented as a positive. I suppose it's a shame that the trailer can make people afraid of others who suffer from DID, but this is hardly the first movie to portray multiple personalities "negatively" (Psycho, Fight Club, etc)
You should review the American Horror Story seasons
FlyboyAura yesyesyes
1,4,6 are the only good ones IMO.
Aldrich Leblanc Yep. Season 6 just finished maybe a couple months ago, it was pretty good
I admit that when they started emphasising the possible superbatural abilities of DID sufferers and MacAvoy's character was talking about the next step in evolution that the movie felt like it was stretching itself a bit too far, but that was when I was still chasing the 'Shyamalan twist' in my head and wondered if the beast would be real or not. I still feel like that concept and language is a bit of an odd turn in a movie that is up until those points more real and grounded in a sense. Though when the Skype conference introduced those concepts and it looked like the beast would be real then I felt like a Bruce Willis cameo at the end would be a great opportunity (still didn't know they'd actually do it) and was waiting on tenderhooks for the last third of the movie. I also felt that the main girl's escape kinda dragged on for a bit in the middle. But overall a really great film.
Exactly my thoughts! Pretty great movie.
Habe dich letztens im Impfunk gehört. Hat richtig Spaß gemacht.

This is very interesting because it never occurred to me after having seen David Dunn in the closing scene that it was nothing more than just a cute little throwback we were getting from the director.
I loved this movie and I didn't see unbreakable. Sure, my husband and I were confused about Bruce Willis, but we knew his appearance was significant, we just concluded that because of that and Kevin Crumb living, it would be a sequel. I loved how that girls brokenness saved her. Good storytelling.
I hated that aspect & that character in general, she survived for basically being a victim while the characters that wanted to work as a team to fight died. Made it even worse when she refused to fight him until she had to, it wasnt cohesive with the movies idea being broken builds a stronger survivor. Shit story with solid ideas, but one great performance saved it
NerdySabbath yeah agreed. i just watched the film and i enjoyed it tons up till the beast. like, i was waiting for casey to defeat the beast or escape on her own merits. yet, she got off bc the beast appreciated her scars? the build up of all the effort tk escape from the girls and casey was just lost to me in that moment
NerdySabbath I agree with you 100 percent I was thinking the same exact thing. They story telling wasn't even all that brave like people keep saying. It was actually safe to be honest.
Hey NerdySabbath, I don't know if you know this but there are rape victims who have survived by being submissive, when a rapist is unaware of the crime they're doing then crying is a better option than fighting, since they'll beat you up because they think "you like it rough".
The reason why the two girls didn't survive is due to their emotions and ego getting the better of them. You can survive rape, but you can't survive other things. The beauty of Casey is that she is presented with a choice at the end. She can live her life as a victim or a survivor. Her uncle was the last boss of her life, not the beast. And in reality there are survivors who have had uncles like that, people who you can't just murder and get a happy ending through some Hollywood style ending like empowerment fantasy.
Im not sure what your rape comparison has to do with my gripes with Casey as a poorly written protagonist, but okay lol. I "get" what the movie was doing, I just fount the execution shit. The two other girls didn't survive because the plot demanded it, & Casey survived through mere anti climatic circumstance. After watching "You're Next", Casey was just a painful protagonist to be with
I had the same "Holy Shit!! WTF!?!" reaction when i saw Bruce Willis at the end and said "Mr. Glass"
I Really hope the next movie of this franchise get made!
This movie is every-freaking-thing! I went to the movies last week to watch it, and it totally blew me away.
The second I left the theatre I wanted to get back in and watch it all over again. And as the days goes by, and the more I think of it - I definitely need to watch it again!
It's been a VERY long time since I've watched a movie, that is so captivating, disturbing, funny and sad at the same time.
Brilliant script, brilliant storytelling and brilliant acting. James McAvoy KILLED it!!! I can't remember the last time I've seen such amazing acting on the big screen. I just couldn't take my eyes off of him. He made me laugh, cry and totally terrified. He took us on the one hell of a ride and oh my gosh! He deserves all the awards there is for this!
I love how when ever there was something about the movie, that I didn't buy, there came an acceptable explanation that made sense. Even the supernatural part of the movie made SO much sense.
I get goosebumps from head to toe, just to think of this film. I can't get enough of this, so I'm going to see it again next week! :D
... And, I actually think this is the kind of movie that gets better, the second time you watch it. I think you'll notice more details than you did the first time...
Can't wait to see what's next for M. Night Shaymalan in this Unbreakable/Split universe!
BRAVO!!!
i cried at the ending
Hey Chris you always talk about how trailers aren't done well and about how they kill some good movies like The Village, how about you do a video about how trailers are meant to be done or The Problem With Marketing Movies Today. Just a thought
Sooo good. Like Chris said, even without the tie-in at the end, I found this movie to really stand on its own. It explored DID (dissociative identity disorder) with respect. Kevin was a really sympathetic character, and I actually felt so bad about what he must have gone through to have become the way he did that I was shaking with tears. One of my new fave movies.
Don't remember the score. That's a good thing in my book.
people laughed when i said i still like M Night whos laughing now haha
EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! M night is back to being a OK director....Up from AWFUL......1 okay movie doesn't excuse 10 years of PURE SHIT. That's not how it works? he is still a - 5 as a Director.
REID DUDAR Nope. The Visit was a solid found footage movie that boosted him up a little bit, but with Split, he's back on top. Split is fantastic, and I think Glass will be great as well.
Best movie I've seen in years. Every scene just feels like your heart will burst out of your chest.
Saw the movie last night and it was amazing. But what was the overall motive of the beast? I think I understood it but I want to make sure by asking you guys
I just think the Beast was supposed to be a wild animal, that's it. A wild animal that only eats the impure(people that haven't went through hardship or abuse "broken") and believes to be the most evolved.
KerpaDerpDerp He was also abused as a child.
Manga McFly it is common for a person with progressed DID (5+ personalities) to have an animal or primal alter. Each alter becomes themselves by experiencing different events that the host (Kevin) had to dissociate from. The primal or animal alter is the filter for anger, often emerging at the host's most terrified or vulnerable state so that the host can lose all humanly emotions and focus on survival. This beast was a bit of that, and a bit of a purpose.
My reaction to the unbreakable theme kicking in at the end of split was exactly like yours! Omg i nearly wet my pants.i fuckin love unbreakable! That was a revelation i never saw coming! So excited for what comes next! Ive waited so long!
I just finished watching Split. I'm a really big fan of M. Night's movies just like you. I came here to know about your reaction to the twist in the end and I am so happy that you felt the same way. I picked up on the Unbreakable soundtrack during the mirror scene too and it blew my mind. I'm glad that we share the same feelings towards his movies because you're someone that I can truly relate to.
This is one of the best movies I've seen
the ending ruined the movie for me. It was just so god awful. I was internally screaming at the screen for M. Night to not be so narcissistic. The Casey Cooke story line and arc was the movie. Her character's story was crushingly sad and moving and I wish the movie would of ended on her face but no, M.Night seemed to not want to serve this story but serve his little universe. Essentially turning this into some kind of origin story for a comic type narrative also is unusually demented given the subject matter of Casey's story. It turns that all too often real tragedy in fodder. So fucking misguided.
American Pancake Umm how about no
