I'm so glad I read no reviews before I watched this SPOILERS


I absolutely loved the ending. The connection to Unbreakable came out of nowhere to me and it actually made me appreciate the film on a whole new level. Unbreakable is my favourite film from Shyamalan and it was beyond cool to see David Dunn at the end. And the realization that James McAvoy's character is actually a new supervillain in the same world was just a perfect way to end the film.

I also had no idea there would be a connection to Unbreakable at the end, very happy it wasn't spoiled.

I'm very upset about that...

I Specifically tried very hard not to read any spoilers to this movie...but about A week after it came out, I was on a site and there was a headline "How Spilt ties into the Unbreakable Universe"

I didn't click on the article, but I was spoiled that Spilt was set in the same Universe as Unbreakable...I had no clue Willis had a Cameo or that there was a scene at the end....

But DAMN do I wish I never accidentally saw that article...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Unbreakable....and If I had no clue that Spilt was set it the same Universe watching it the 1st time, I can't imagine the excitement and Surprise I would have felt when The end came.

I Loved Spilt....I was Hooked from the second it started until the end, I would have loved it even if it had nothing to do with Unbreakable...

But Given My Love for Unbreakable, Split overall basically Blew my mind...

I'm literally giddy thinking about of the Connections between Unbreakable and Split.

The Movie Spilt was the birth and Origin of David Dunn's "Physical Equal"...

In Unbreakable, Elijah Price is revealed to be David Arch Nemeses/Villain, Mr Grass Will always be plotting against David...

But With Spilt, Kevin/"The Hordes" Is A Villain The Matches David Dunn's Strength...

Its just Fascinating...

There are no words to describe How Much I'm hoping Shyamalan completes this trilogy....Given just how unbelievably successful thsi film was, I'm pretty sure We'll get it

Yeah, actually I didn't even read a review but went to the wikipedia page and saw that this was going to be sort of a sequel to Unbreakable so I kinda expected some tie to that film. I love Unbreakable though, favorite Shyalaman film so i'm glad it's his next film.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/_2I1rJ2vSZM

I was like an excited idiot in the cinema when the film panned into the diner and the music started playing, lol! I was jumping up and down and excitedly telling my brother 'It's like The Avengers!' - he's like 'huh?' I repeated 'like The Avengers! Unbreakable! The Avengers!'

I was so incoherent, lol! I couldn't find words to express my excitement!

i wished i had read some, before being stupid enough to give the nightman yet another chance.

I'm glad you got the full experience. Reviewers really need to stop identifying the existence of a twist in movies.
