Split Unbreakable Glass

So I really loved the second and third films and always though Unbreakable was a mediocre film, so I was very interested to see how this film edit looked. Overall this was very enjoyable and I really enjoyed how the narrative was linked into one cohesive story. I think the problem is that the Unbreakable parts are still pretty lame, while the Split and Glass bits still remain brilliant. I actually like the horror elements from Split, so seeing them removed definitely made for a different viewing experience.

Overall the whole thing was a pleasure to watch and I'll definitely check out the Unbreakable Glass Split edit done by Wraith to see how different it is.

If you didn't enjoy the original films you might love this version, if you liked the original films this makes for a great showcase of the faneditors skills.

This is another fantastic achievement in combining films! While I did prefer UGS, was a really fun companion piece. I almost didn't watch it because both are so long, but right from the first 10 minutes I knew I was going to finish it. "Wraith, you genius, you got me!"

The more separated narratives when compared to UGS work really well, and I liked following the narratives through the timeline, but they felt a bit disjointed at times, and am most like I was watching several movies at once (which of course I was). What I think this movie lacks is Kevin's psychiatrist to really tie it together. She works well as a counterpoint to Dr Ellie Staple, and really develops Kevin in UGS the way that this movie develops Mr Glass.

Both movies are ludicrously complicated and the thought behind them must be staggering, and then to execute with such artistic skill really rounds out the entire package.

Another excellent excellent film from an editing legend!

Another great and monumental work by Wraith. I would not go into the edit technicalities because, as always, they are top notch. The opening credits are a work of art.

Regarding narrative, I must say I've watched the alternative more recent edit by Wraith and preferred that. This older edit follows more closely the original narrative of Split/Glass, with a strong focus on secondary characters (the mother, the son, the kidnapped girl), whereas the newer edit mostly removed them to focus on the main characters' psyche and self-discovery. I found the latter to be more in line with the Unbreakable narrative, which I preferred. I also found the newer edit more original because it is also more divergent with the last two movies' tone, which I think has a lot of merit. This is the only reason to rate this edit a sightly below the newer one. Probably, if I've watched them in cronological order, I would have rated both as a 10 : )

Anyway both edits complement each other quite well and use a significant amount of different footage so watching both in any order is highly recommended!

Took me a while but I finally watched this. VERY impressive. Not only did the editor make these 3 films work as a single movie but also made it a very enjoyable experience. It's a bit tiring to watch because of its long runtime but it didn't feel too slow at any point. The audio editing is basically flawless and the visual editing is very competent (a lot of fade to blacks though, but maybe there was no other way).

The back and forth between the scenes from Unbreakable and Split works well to build anticipation for when these characters finally meet and after that it's basically a better version of Glass. Unbreakable and Split were already good movies but Glass was very disappointing when I first watched it. This edit improves it greatly, although it still couldn't make the ending good (but that says more about how awful the original ending was).

Overall, it's quite the achievement. Might become my default of watching the trilogy if I want to watch it all the way through

The was a great way to examine the trilogy, it was edited flawlessly and the intro and outro sequences were exceptionally well done, but I think Unbreakable in particular suffered from the amount cut. It might be spoiled by the fact that it's a contender for my favourite movie of all time, but it's greatest strength is the slow build up to a complete understanding, which is removed by making it only one third of the movie. Split is also lessened in my opinion, not because of losing anything important, just because I feel the events of the movie happen to quickly. Glass is the only part I can say is improved. It definitely feels better as a final act than as a movie in itself, and I prefer Mr. Glass to be the one to release the videos, though it makes the supporting characters feel a little less important, especially since their roles are cut down in the previous parts.
While the way the edit is arranged does well to highlight the thematic and narrative connections between moments in these movies, from what I could tell it doesn't create these connections. They all still exist in the original movies, they're just presented more plainly here.
While this is a fun way to watch the movies, it's nowhere near an improvement. It couldn't replace them in my eyes.
