Meh. Message to mum: Just watched Split. Thought it was interesting, but far far too predictable, lacked good music and likeable characters (or any good characters besides McAvoy), so overall I'm not much of a fan. The only bit with good music was when they played James Newton Howard's score from Unbreakable at the end. This is the only Shyamalan movie he hasn't scored, and it was sorely missing his touch!
It was weird watching it because it seemed like someone imitating Shyamalan's style but missing the emotional impact that movies like The Village, Signs and Unbreakable had. The music and the characters and the setting are all important, and Split just didn't deliver. The old lady did so much foreshadowing it was ridiculous (felt like The Happening). At the end of the movie were all these lingering, slow panning shots like at the end of The Village and Signs, but there was no good music and I found I was just bored by them and it was a bit embarrassing thinking how much I like those moments of his other movies.
And the ending scene connecting it to Unbreakable was just really badly done.
