Glass Onion. Un misterio de Knives Out

What happened?!

I am so bitterly confused!

I was looking forward to this film so much after Knives Out instantly becoming one of my all time favourites.

Did I overhype it? Were my expectations too high? Did I watch the same film as the critics?

By all means, I'm not saying this is a bad film but compared to the original, it misses rather hard. What an absolute let down.

I have no complaints about the cast, the score, the cinematography, the direction etc. It's the writing. Did Rian Johnson just forget what sort of film he was writing or something? It certainly showed a lot of promise in the first act, it definitely had me intruiged. The middle act had it's moments of twists and revelations I suppose. But the last act - what happened? What a mess. There was no pay off. It was such an unsatisfying conclusion. Honestly, it felt like they may as well have just said; "It was all a dream". It was so much off the mark which really hurts.

I'm glad to see that I guess a lot of people enjoyed it and maybe the next installment will be better. One can only hope.

The long-awaited sequel to Knives Out is here, and although it's still a good time, it feels like a let down overall.

The first film told such a unique and superb mystery that wrapped layers upon layers on top of each other. Meanwhile, Glass Onion tells a story that feels incredibly basic in comparison.

The main problem with this film is that although it's a mystery film, it doesn't give you the tools to solve the mystery. Instead the film walks through the plot and witholds infomation to have big reveals, rather than giving you the clues to work it out yourself.

Daniel Craig was fun the the cast was good overall, with Ed Norton being a big standout. Some characters felt wasted sadly.

Overall, a fun but underwhelming time.

I'm not gonna say this movie was rubbish but I get why so many people were disappointed now that I've finally seen the movie myself. First of all, I have to say I was a big fan of a knives out, i really like its subtle humor and i believe it's one of the best movies in that genre. I decided to watch glass onion expecting it to be at the same level. The movie overall was entertaining even though at first it takes a bit to create momentum. However, I have to say that the ending was kinda illogical, silly, and not as clever as I expected it to be. I was let down at the end of the movie but still enjoyed it. Well, I guess I will be waiting for the 3rd one.

A lot of great actors, and the film is well-shot, but ultimately the whole affair is just too cartoonish to enjoy on anything but a superficial level. Every character (with the possible exception of Janelle Monae's) is so broadly drawn and overacted that you can't invest in them or care what happens to them. Particularly Daniel Craig's lead. He felt like an eccentric, but brilliant, detective in Knives Out, but here he just comes off as silly. His complete inaction toward the end seems to exist only to set up the ridiculous, over-the-top ending. Also, Kathryn Hahn and Leslie Odom. Jr. Are so wasted that I don't know why they even signed on for this. Glass Onion was an okay distraction for a Netflix movie, but I would have been annoyed if I'd paid to see this in a theater.

I enjoyed this movie and there's nothing really wrong with it. It just isn't all that great. By the end of the movie I had a feeling who the killer was, which ended up being true. I was waiting for another twist but nope, that was it. I understand he's supposed to be the worlds greatest detective, but it just seemed too easy for him to put together.

Besides that, some of the characters are forgettable. If you compare this to a movie like Clue, where every character was interesting and brought something to the table, this falls short. Craig and Norton are excellent. I don't know why people are riding Craig for his accent. I thought it was good.

I didn't understand the whole mask pandemic thing. It's only in the beginning of the movie. I just kept thinking that it was stupid and probably won't age well. Didn't affect the plot at all so why put that in there?

Overall it's a fun movie and worth watching but don't expect too much out of it. Had a cool vibe though and enough interesting twists to keep me entertained. Not every movie has to be a masterpiece.
