Kudos for writer/director Rian Johnson for creating a formula for a franchise that doesn't revolve around spaceships or superheroes. The stuff from the original is still here: a good mystery, some fun jokes, a social commentary that fits an urban liberal dinner party, and some cool flashbacks. If I have one complaint it's that unlike the original, the post-reveal story aspects aren't engaging & are kind of a letdown. Still, he gets some amazing work out of Craig and Janelle Monáe. Recommended.

Waned until it broke entirely at the end for me. There's a redlettermedia video where they're discussing Yoda in The Last Jedi and Mike directly asks Rian, "Have you seen Star Wars?" I had echoes of that in my head when the movie opens with Blackbird. "Have you heard the Beatles?" I hate to be this guy cause it's just movies, and there's nothing wrong with difference of opinions, but my thick with sarcasm review would be RuruSmasher's verbatim.

Ostensibly an Agatha Christie whodunnit updated for the zoomer generation, but whereas those books were understated, elegant parlor pieces this is a crass, overblown, over-acted, badly plotted mish-mash of poorly conceived and badly executed ideas welded to unfunny, unsubtle and mean spirited social commentary. So if you're looking for preachy, smart-ass, agenda-driven film making Glass Onion might be for you. However if you're after a clever murder mystery you'll have to look elsewhere

I can't believe this came out just as Elon Musk was burning Twitter down. Another marvelous mystery with passionate politics and a subtly but strongly exaggerated sense of reality - but no exaggeration, as we've seen, of how terrible rich people are. It's hard to say if this or the original is better - they're good in different ways, tho this one has many echoes of the first. Also, Janelle Monae needs to be a household name, like now.

Glass Onion is another enjoyable mystery from Johnson that is almost on par with the 1st film. Craig takes centre stage in this one, but the film is fairly balanced amongst is strong ensemble cast. Bautista, Hahn, Monáe & Norton were good, but it was Hudson & Henwick's mannerisms that stole the show for me. The more glitzy setting made the film feel a little shallow, and the 3rd revelation act felt like a rehash that went on a bit too long, but overall the film is undeniably fun & engaging.

Has a scrumptious classic dinner party-whodunit feel, with a compelling first act full of subtle clues that let you know something's afoot, and then a second act where the other foot (in a shoe) drops and the layers are peeled back. The humour is excellent ("Please tell me you did not think sweatshops are where they make sweatpants"), the drama less so; Andi's glass ceiling-and-other-objects-shattering arc is effective but the others are never likeable enough to justify how they tagged along.

Probably purposefully difficult to assess. Like other Johnson sequel projects, *ahem*, Glass Onion doesn’t start with a Blanc canvas (sorry) but wants to subvert what it thinks you assume before you even get the chance. So, it’s a whodunit about false complexities told with a complex simplicity. Buttress your assumations, and it’s a breezy smart blast about stupid thanks to the ease of the cast. And Craig is having the time of his life, bless him, it’s infectious.

Yes, Craig does the role well, and I'll watch Janelle Monáe in anything. It's all good fun with a depressingly well-timed villain. But what made Knives Out work so well was the whole gallery of characters as well as the jigsaw plot. Glass Onion, for all that it does right - especially the final act - feels a bit too much like a da capo, an attempt to recapture lightning in the same bottle and build it all around Blanc. It is, in a word, a bit too transparent.

Lacking a bit when compared with the first one. It's a bit less cleverly well-written, the group dynamic isn't quite as interesting in this one as the family of the first, and the mystery is not as interesting in my opinion. That being said, everyone gives decent performances, and Daniel Craig is still entirely entertaining as Benoit Blanc, so it's still a mostly enjoyable ride, and I won't hesitate to see the next Knives Out film.

The brilliance of this movie (and franchise) is that for all the complexity of the central mystery concept--twists, red herrings, post-modern genre deconstruction, etc.--Johnson never loses sight of the fact that the prime directive here is fun. The characters, and the hit-you-over-the-head themes, are all in service of just telling a fun story. And it really is just so much fun.

Just as lame and gimmicky as its predecessor. The only satisfying moments are the musical references: YoYo Ma, Paul McCartney/'Blackbird', Philip Glass, and, of course, The Beatles/'Glass Onion'. Benoit Blanc is the most annoying character in cinema since Jar Jar Binks; it's like watching Adam Sandler perform an over-the-top impersonation of a Southerner, only Sandler is deliberately taking the piss while Daniel Craig seems to be genuine in his efforts (it's pathetic). 1hr too long.

A fun time, but not as tight as the first, and too long to be sure. I was also less than enthralled with the central conceit here--layers that you can see right through, particularly as I had a pretty clear view from early on in the film. One can say that's clever of Johnson, but I found it a bit lazy. All that said, it goes down easy.

I like Daniel Craig in the Benoit Blanc role, but he's fairly passive here. Stuff just happens to him and it takes away from the star-studded cast. OK twist in the middle but the motive wasn't particularly surprising. Not sure about the point of Hawke's character except to be a red herring. Henwick and Odom were underutilized as well, but Cline made the most of her breakout screen time. Fav scene: Craig buying time for Monae by dragging out a monologue, then realizing Norton's words were empty.

Keep churning these out, Rian. This series has been so fun and engaging. I need to figure out where to find Daniel Craig's swimwear. The first film was named after a Radiohead song, this is named after a Beatles song. So, since it's using the list of great rock bands, the next one will obviously be called "Nookie".

Despite decent acting aplenty it’s the story that falls to pieces on this one. Weaving and twisting it struggles into a flashback/rehash before the third act crescendo hits me on the head with a stupid thud. After giving my noggin a good rub I’m forced to exclaim “was that the whole shebang?!?” As the obvious song choice rolls in the credits. “How’d it end up being so dumb?”

I liked the idea of the 1st movie more than the end result, and unfortunately this is a step down. Johnson adds more comedy which is not as funny as he thinks and diminishes the mystery. The flashback portion slows the film down, and tying the script to current topics makes the film age quickly. There's also some poor CGI when they could have utilized the Greek locations instead. Acting wise, Craig is still fun, while Monae has the hardest part to play. Worth a watch, but could have been better.

Parts of this are definitely fun, but a lot of it is slow, tedious, and boring. Despite a smaller cast some of the characters are still paper thin. A few good jokes, but mostly not as funny as it thinks it is. There's also a lot of toothless and obvious satire. You have to shut off your brain because of the logic gaps, but then that defeats the point of a murder mystery. The saving graces that make this watchable is how it fleshes out Benoit Blanc's character, and the lovely cinematography.

I adored this movie, but I’ll be the first to admit that “What if Knives Out, but too much?” would be a valid criticism - it’s almost comical how much “bigger” it is in every way, and the politics are a little cringe. But oh my WORD this is still just so fantastically fun and hilarious and beautiful and brilliant and the cast are so incredible and aaahhhhh!!!!!!! Not quite as good as the first, but a far more than worthy sequel, and Benoit Blanc remains one of modern cinema’s greatest creations.

Perhaps inevitably, this lost a little luster on a second viewing. Without the element of surprise, the plot-heavy stuff is a little less engaging (even if the fugue-like structure is even easier to be impressed by), and a lot of the ending feels a bit performative. That said, there many moments of euphoric delight to be found, especially when this cast of characters gets to bounce off each other.

I love that Rian Johnson has created his own mystery franchise in Benoit Blanc and I hope he keeps making more of these. Glass Onion isn't as biting or as rich as the first Knives Out film, but it's still a lot of fun, full of on-the-nose social commentary, great one liners, dark humor, intrigue, and all the memorable characters you could want in a whodunit. It's marvelously acted and features a lush European resort setting. Daniel Craig and Janelle Monae form the heart of the film.

I don't love these movies, but like the first one, I think this is good. It's got a good enough mystery to be entertaining, but it also needs to be shorter because there's not enough meat to warrant the runtime. Make this a tight hour and a half or hour 40 and it's better. There are a few good laughs and it's pleasant seeing this cast, even if, also like the first, I don't think most of them are given that much to chew on. I really don't need a third, I hope Johnson does something else next.

This had potential to surpass the first. Even if the characters are a bit weaker, the set up and misdirects are excellent. Unfortunately, the incredibly long flashback completely ruins the momentum.

You know, gasoline is also explosive and would have burned the Mona Lisa, but it doesn't mean it hasn't been a very useful and profitable product.

The mystery itself leaves something to be desired, but this film is almost not quite a whodunnit, anyway. It’s a raucous comedy, a biting social commentary, and a feast for the eyes. It’s a brilliant ensemble piece, a nest of easter eggs, and a platform for Benoit Blanc to grow ever more flamboyant - but a cheap macguffin and the intriguing central twist diminish the effect of the murder mystery. This just isn’t that film - but the film that it is remains brilliant, hilarious, and intricate.

Over-plotted, ungainly murder-mystery is at least beautiful to look at; Norton, Craig and Monae end up dominating, but Craig's initially amusing peacocking becomes tiresome after a while, especially during an overly expository mid-section which more or less commits the cardinal mystery sin of cheating. Otherwise there's a thudding obviousness in Johnson's writing (unusually so), especially the way COVID is used to score some cheap shots before being awkwardly discarded.

Whelming, perhaps because of the unwarranted hype. I was led to believe this would be uproariously funny. It was amusing. Craig is still a dialect-confused delight and the Musk allegory is eerily prescient, but Johnson's tendency of smarmy hyper-awareness gets the better of him. I was always a little detached, never fully invested. The plot machinations were fun up until the last part of the movie where character motivations and logic seems to go up in flames.

Rian might whine about this being subtitled to associate it with Knives Out, but it does feel basically JUST LIKE IT, so why not? Performances here are pretty good - Craig in particular looks like he's having a ball - but special cudos to Monae and, interestingly enough, Dave Bautista, who is carving out a fairly legit Hollywood resume. As an ensemble, this is still a step back from KO, and the runtime is long (though didn't really drag). A close runner-up to the first that stands on its own.

I enjoy Craig's return as Blanc, the ensemble of colorful characters, the beautiful Ionian setting, and - of course - the intricate clockwork of the film's whodunnit plotting. What leaves me a bit disappointed is the film's social commentary. While Knives Out isn't exactly subtle, it does have a lot to say and it really does serve to elevate the film beyond a simple mystery. With Glass Onion though, the messaging is still very prominent but, ultimately, uninterestingly simple.

The cast are the highlight of this film, particularly Craig slipping comfortably back into his Benoit Blanc affectations and Janelle Monae playing a spurned character with more than meets the eye. Johnson's mystery this time around, however, does not capture the same charm as the original Knives Out. The move from Boston to the Mediterranean (set in the pandemic nonetheless) is splashy, but ultimately robs the film of some of its humanity. Expected PSI: 78

Compared to the first film the mystery is more engaging despite the narrative weight having less bite than the first film... then it just kinda goes full retard on the 3rd act and the 2end is way too long for what little it adds. Watching this reminds me that Rian Johnson does the same goddamn social commentary every time and he has little more to conclude than "rich people are assholes" which is tiring. It's an okay entertainment film, but not one I'd consider to have thematic depth.

The plot, the dialogue, the brisk pacing, the vivid cast of characters, the jokes, the editing, all of it just oozes cleverness. Despite the bigger budget and more spectacular set pieces, a certain contrived quality sneaks in that makes me wonder how well things hold up on a second viewing, but in the moment it's an undeniably engaging ride.

A big step down from the first, mostly because of the changed setting and the cast who don't gel together as well. Also while the first had a few political barbs here and there, this seems like a total war on the likes of Elon Musk as opposed to an actual murder mystery (don't get me wrong, Musk is a goddamned moron). It's fine to watch on an evening in - and markedly superior to the Branagh-Christie adaptations - but overall a disappointment.

The Ocean's 12 to Knive's Out's Ocean's 11 - complete with celebrity cameo and references galore. Inexorably wears out it's interesting welcome.

Just pure escapist fun with a blast of a cast (great to see Norton back in something big) and it's mocking Elon Musk, so what's not to like? A lot of the rich person stuff is laugh out loud funny. I personally found it more enjoyable than the first, though the mystery probably isn't as interesting. The first is a superior film, but I had a bit more fun with this one. The recontextualization in the middle is interesting.

It didn't have the natural charm of the first one, but I was still entertained. Having the movie finishing & starting at the halfway point makes the storytelling more interesting, as the mystery itself is a bit too bland. Hoping for more of those movies in the future: even if it wasn't perfect, the world needs more murder mysteries.

Can't help but feel that there's a better way of lampooning upwards-failing VC-funded idiots than having a character exclaim, "Hey, that idiot just failed upwards!" as the script bizarrely flounders at crafting a believable or even cogent piece of corporate intrigue (what's a patent? What are shares?!). A handsome presentation and enthusiastic acting help the film remain broadly enjoyable, but it could have done with a draconian editing pass or twenty.

This is a fun sequel with a well made script. The cast all seem to be having a ball and Daniel Craig is great in the lead role. The script is fun all the way through this movie. Overall I would highly recommend this film.

The key is Johnson's whodunnit caricatures are such good cartoon characters and yet in their extravagance deromanticize the notion of singular guilty party and the red herrings surrounding them. Where motive may once have been mislead, notions of darkness that a suspect ultimately doesn't contain to fulfill that narrative, Johnson's suspects would all have done it, on the right day, with the right opportunity. They're genre delights but they're also real modern scumbags; rich, ugly and sterile.

Definitely an improvement over the first one: Better developed characters, a contained mystery that exposes itself over the movie instead of an unneeded sequence at the end, and sharper/funnier societal commentary -as much as it can be-. Delightful acting on top.

Hmm, somehow I really didn't like the first part, and this one is just a liiiiitle bit better, but still pretty lame. Can't find out what I don't like about this movie... probably the waste of talent. Aaaand, it really isn't a good detective movie, that's probably it.
