In fact it blew my mind that Split has a higher RT rating than Unbreakable.
Let me 'splain...
The premise, I love. Split personality disorder = possible superpower. The tying together with Unbreakable, I love. James McAvoy's performance, I [mostly] love.
But on the whole, as a film? Pretty rotten, dude. I mean in the very first scene, the blonde is drummed up as this self-aware, intelligent chick.
Then, as soon as the brunette is taken into another room, blondie proceeds to tap lightly on the door with her fists, as if that's somehow going to achieve anything at all.
Ridiculous moments like these continue to drag the movie down to a nearly unwatchable level.
I'm not saying movies should be totally realistic. That would be idiotic. It's all about suspension of belief.
What I don't get is that numerous of MKS's movies are so good at the level of premise, and even plot, but his ability as a director to reign them in to believability simply doesn't exist. All I can think is that he must just not be a very smart dude, who just happens to have a very creative mind and got lucky enough to end up where he is, and that Unbreakable was sort of a fluke as far as his ability to put together a top-notch film.
This is like a r/changemyview mixed in, is there a sub for that?
