I went to see Split last night.

James McAvoy stole the show with his performance and the way he was able to move so effortlessly between Kevin's various personalities. I can't fault any of the acting in this at all, Betty Buckley was also fantastic as were the three girls. The film wasn't really what I was expecting after having seen the trailer (I was expecting it to play out more like 10 Cloverfield Lane) but meh I still enjoyed it, although it could've been more suspenseful. I found myself laughing more than actually feeling scared as did my friends and most of the people at the theatre, especially any scene featuring Hedwig. I do wish we got to see more of Kevin's 23 personalities though as I felt they dwelled on that too much only to end up showing us about five of them. It left me wondering what the others were like? Hedwig was hilarious and I thought he worked well because it made the sudden personality switches to Patricia and Dennis all the more unsettling. Aside from Hedwig, I also liked Patricia and Barry, both of whom were VERY intriguing.

I don't know how to feel about the ending though with

Spoiler:

The Beast and giving him superhuman strength and speed. It felt kinda out of place and far-fetched to me and something you'd see in a Superhero movie. But then I've heard the film (and the ending with Bruce Willis) ties in with M Night's other film, Unbreakable, which Split is supposedly a sequel to so I definitely need to check that out.

7.5/10
