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.

@eoghannmacleoid it seems like you didnt get the movie at all .Its an origin story of a supervillian.it takes place in the same universe as unbreakable.Its a sequel to unbreakable not some documentary to create awareness about the condition. This is not a movie about mental illness LOL .If you want watch something informative about (DID) go watch a documentary not a movie.i dont see people complaining the same things about Fight club,Identity,Psycho .

@eoghannmacleoid I'm sorry but this is one of the most uninformed and unhelpful reviews I've ever read. Your whole point is based on your not clearly understanding the universe in which this film is set, that is a universe in which superpowers and supernatural abilities have been established as possible, as introduced in the movie Unbreakable.<br /> <br /> There's no real point being made about the illness itself. This is just the tale of Kevin Wendell Crumb, who is afflicted by DID, but the science in this movie isn't supposed to be accurate, or even plausible. There is an underlying layer of actual science to set the groundwork for the **fictional** tale, set in a **superhero** world.<br /> <br /> This is just misinformation and rushed reasoning.

@eoghannmacleoid The fact is, in my opinion this is not to be taken literally at all, not as a statement, not as a scientific piece. I view it as something similar to Daredevil's origin story, in which no one ever complained about the unrealistic portrayal of blindness (at least, I hope so). Who knows what Kevin went through to make him what he is today. We don't know since we meet him at an advanced period of his life and don't really see the birth and development of his condition. Therefore, I personally interpret this situation just as the fact that DID was in this case the inspiration chosen by the writer to tell a story, just like blindness was for Daredevil.

I'm in two minds about this film. McAvoy turns in a startling performance(s) and the story is geared towards a twist, as with most of M Night's previous work. And that's the problem, I was always trying to second guess the plot in the search for a twist and that ruined the experience for me... as in many ways the twist isn't that important. Or maybe it is. I don't know, I'm split down the middle in my opinion.

Also many people are saying this is a return to form for M Night. I disagree, The Visit was a return to form and I actually liked The Last Airbender and The Happening. They weren't great films but I found them enjoyable. Unlike The Village, which just frustrated me.

I really enjoyed Split. The movie was so unique! I especially liked that they added a bit of humour into what could be a very dark movie, by having young Hedwig appear a lot. A definite must see film for all psychological thriller fans.

Overly long, slow, predictable and unnecessarily supernatural.

What else would you expect from an M. Night Shyamalan movie but this? The story/idea is really good and I start to really like it but then it turns out to be super unrealistic which always makes me hate the movie in the end…
At least the guest appearance and reference to one of his previous movies is cool.
I have to admit that James McAvoy's performance is amazing!

Its a brilliantly crafted movie .i had my 'Holyshit' moment in the end .Looking forward to see the clash of 'The Horde vs The Unbreakable'.You need to connect all the dots and its ties to unbreakable to really appreciate the underlying layers and brilliance of its story telling.

M. Night Shyamalan is really back. After the quite solid 2015, "The Visit", he returns with the brilliant "Split". After some flops, he returned to his origins that threw him into the spolight, and brought two good movies in a row.

This movie builds, builds, to a very intense final act. Wonderful realization of M. Night Shyamalan. Man knows how to create suspense.

The performances were also very good. I believe that if "Split" had premiered between October and December, James McAvoy had a good chance of being nominated for an Oscar. The way he transforms himself into the different personalities, is not any actor who can do that. It felt natural. Anya Taylor-Joy was also very good. As for the other girls, they were "ok".

I really hope there is a sequel. Etcetera...
