And nobody told me!
I only recently watched it the first time when it was cheap on Amazon Prime. I always liked Unbreakable, and Split was fine, too. But Glass ... wow.
This movie is how super hero movies ought to be done. A serious story, a grounded presentation, but nonetheless breathtaking, eery super abilities. This is neither the sanitized fist brawling from the Marvel movies, nor is the theatralic slomo-fest of Snyder's DCmovies. It's also not a social commentary like "The Boys". No, this is a serious super hero movie that truly feels like it *could* be happening like that irl. It just feels real. And that makes it awesome.
SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE:
Maybe you won't find it is the best, but I feel this movie deserves more recognition as Shymalan's work is often dismissed for his weaker movies. But "Glass" is absolutely not one of them. It's probably the most mature super hero movie and you should recommend it to people who find the Marvel- and DC movies too flashy. Definitely need to get this one on BluRay for collection purposes. <3

SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE:
Í love how the movie spends just enough time to make the viewer think that these people are only mentally ill nutcases that don't really have any special powers. Until the last possible moment and BAMM, it's all real after all, they DO have super powers! Then the next slap in the awesome when even outside people witness their super powers after all the belitteling of the doctor. Speaking of which: This movie ends in the most perfect manner a movie could end. It both finishes the trilogy in a satisfying manner, no more movies are needed. BUT: There could be more movies! That much is left open. I guess Shymalan won't do it, he's too artsy for that, but hot damn. How epic was that final twist when it's revealed that the psych doctor is actually member of a super hero association herself! That was eerie. When Bruce Willis died, man, didn't see that coming 
But I was so happy when it turned out that Mr Glass had actually planned for everything, and screwed that bitch over. Soooo good.
