Split

Split is... fine. McAvoy is excellent, as is Anya Taylor-Joy, but the movie around them often isn't at their level. [spoiler] Then the final twist gives it a whole new life. As an _Unbreakable_ fan, this movie is exciting more for the promise of things to come than for the movie itself. If _Unbreakable_ was a grounded superhero origin story, _Split_ is a grounded supervillain origin story. Will the next Shyamalan movie be the showdown?[/spoiler] [spoiler]I fear not many people will "get" the twist in the theater. _Unbreakable_ is one of the less known, and most underrated, Shyamalan movies. _Split_ will certainly reignite its cult following, and I'm genuinely excited for the future of the Shyamalan Cinematic Universe. [/spoiler] Nor _Split_ nor _The Visit_ are masterpieces, but they sure are enjoyable movies, that show a director that has learned from his mistakes and is getting back on track. And I'm rooting for Shyamalan.
