Split
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
Though Kevin has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher, there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all the others. Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey, Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him — as well as everyone around him — as the walls between his compartments shatter apart.

Didnt see the review section at first so,I posted on the forums Not a fan of The director since Unbreakable. It was slightly above average but no whee near the quality of The Sixth Sence. I don't know why I keep watching his movies, probably hoping one will be the same extraordinary quality. With all the pre-release buzz I thought this was finally that movie. I was so disappointed. I rated it slightly lower than …

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :) James McAvoy plays Kevin, a man with a genetic disease which allows him to have multiple personalities. His trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Karen Fletcher (Betty Buckley), knows 23 of them, but there's one hidden from everyone who desires to dominate over all the others. Compelled by one of his personalities, Kevin abducts three girls, where Casey …

M. Night Shyamalan’s Split is a psychological thriller that keeps you on edge from start to finish, largely thanks to James McAvoy’s phenomenal performance. Playing a character with Dissociative Identity Disorder, McAvoy seamlessly switches between personalities, each one distinct and captivating. It’s a performance so versatile and gripping that it’s hard to imagine many actors today pulling it off with such …

Split was a movie that I was a bit weary to see, I had been bitten by M. Knight before and I wasn't sure if this movie would be worth while. But the trailers looked great and I had always thought James McAvoy was a seriously underrated actor. Split surprised me. I loved this movie. Ann Taylor-Joy was decent in the film and the Dr was great, but McAvoy knocked it out of the park. Being able to portray all these …

There has been much discussion about whether or not it is socially acceptable to watch Split. I'm gonna skip right over all of that and talk purely about the movie itself. Anya Taylor-Joy is good, but McAvoy is what makes Split worthwhile. The heavily touted twist/reveal was all but a non-event, even to a M. Night alum like myself. Though it is certainly (in my opinion) the best work The Shamhammer has brought out …

The animation is also of a really inconsistent quality. Other than that, I enjoyed My Little Pony: The Movie, would recommend.
