Rian Johnson is a vastly overrated hack, and GO is borderline unwatchable. The cinematic equivalent of being stuck in a room with grating, preening morons for two hours.

not at all a real detective story. characters and key plot points were ridiculous and far too over the top. Terrible and completely predictable ending. Knives out was a much, much better movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a massive disappointment considering it departs from everything that made the original movie a near perfect murder mystery. The central idea of the movie is a glass onion, something that seems like it has many layers, while at the same time you can see the center clearly from the beginning. That is the premise they used for the mystery, but what they failed to think through is that just leaves you with a boring and predictable story that has to be carried by the over the top extravagance that ruins the immersion. While it is still a pretty movie, the scope undermines whatever pretty shots and cinematography that carried over from the original. More and more Craig's character felt like the only change from Agatha Christie's creation was a change of accent. Not worth watching… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story goes like this:

One day, a very talented, genius young woman, with great social skills, great knowledge and wisdom and without any flaws, comes up with a brilliant business idea, which she puts down on a napkin from her preferred bar. She proceeds to build in record time such a successful business venture that makes her and her associate billionaires and their friends very successful and famous people. Let's call her associate the evil dude.

Her friends and the evil dude are all greedy and one day the evil dude decides to invest the company's money in a dubious McGuffin which is basically a super concentrated hydrogen thing that can generate a lot of electricity, but it apparently has serious flaws because it's very combustible. So instead of a realistic approach, the story takes us to an obtuse turn of events, as the bright woman decides to kick the evil dude out of business because using the McGuffin is evil, but the deal turns sour after he gets all their circle of friends to lie in court and somehow claim the whole business solely to himself based on the pretence that he wrote the basic business concept in the infamous napkin instead of her. Somehow that works and she is left disgraced and alone. At that point she finds the napkin and to prove it she sends a photograph via email to her identical twin sister. Now, of course, the email somehow is common knowledge, so the evil dude tracks her down and kills her, poor thing.

That's all explained in the second half of the film in flashbacks, now we get to the story as presented from the beginning:

This evil dude invites his friends to an isolated island for the weekend, and he is surprised to see that his old associate, that brilliant young woman, attends the event, along with 007. Of course, this is not the brilliant woman from the start of the story, she is her equally virtuous and noble identical twin, who happens to be a teacher and perfect person that lives elsewhere and is there to avenge her sister. Sorry, did I say avenge her sister? I meant bring justice to her sister. Anyway, the guy is obsessed with the Mona Lisa, which he borrows from France, and puts behind a very unsafe glass cage that can easily be opened. You can see where this is going.

OK, turns out that all the friends in the island owe their success to this evil dude, and they are all very toxic people. After a while it surfaces that the original perfect girl died, and one of the friends knows the evil dude killed her, so the evil dude kills him. Then he tries to kill the twin, just to make sure. But he fails, because she is perfect. Then she finds the napkin but he burns it. But it doesn't matter, because she breaks everything and sets fire to his palace, which is powered by the hydrogen McGuffin thing, which is everywhere, because that's how electricity works. That burns the Mona Lisa down, ending the nefarious plans of the evil dude.

007 meanwhile is basically tagging along, telling the brilliant virtuous twin his educated opinion on how things are and distracting the nasty people so they don't realise she is on a quest for justice.

In the end, the evil dude is apparently exposed, 007 and her sister's friends are at the same place they were at the start of the film, and she burned evidence of a homicide and a unique work of art. But hey, that is totally justified, because the evil dude was exposed!

When I walked into the cinema I was expecting some Poirot-inspired 'whodunnit' story, but instead I got this moronic tale, with shallow and boring characters, trying to pitch an unlikely reality where becoming a millionaire is something trivial and where normal rules don't apply and attempts the now-cliched Hollywood trend to spread the pernicious and false social identity ideology, which I strongly oppose. For these reasons I rate this piece of junk a 0 out of 10. It's rubbish. Don't waste your time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't like writing bad reviews. But I am not sure how so many critics liked this. I know they were all supposed to be unlikable, but still they all were. And so - so what. Why do we care about these people? And if you break it down, the plot is the most obvious person killing the most obvious person in a predicable way. Perry Mason gets 10X more done in an hour. What was the mystery? Soap Opera dramatics among the cast is not a mystery. And the end, what is the message - if you can't put the rich guy in jail, at least you can break all his stuff? Is breaking things how you end a mystery story? Have we decided that audiences are too stupid to get detective work, so we just end it with "things blowing up real good."… Expand

Bright side, first 10-15mins was an epic build up and they had a great cast. Then basically nothing happens for rest of movie until they do a flashback wrap-up at the end. Typical grade B trash that passes for movies now; checked the right boxes for lead character and correct "bad guy" = instant green light. Bonus points for fauci, covid reminders and masks; because those will age well.

I guess the play here is the plot and mystery is so obvious you would never guess it? The reactions and "tense scenes" were cringe inducing; guess it was suppose to be an obvious mystery comedy with no laughs? Odd bold choice... Just odd...… Expand

But this movie goes beyond being a response to his poorly received Last Jedi and to the downfall of his promising career, Rian Johnson also destroys his own franchise by giving us a mediocre sequel with cheap jokes and (already) outdated references to current events.… Expand

Even Benoit Blanc fell prey to the poor writing epidemic once or twice, although he was the best part of the show. Overacting reigned supreme and I guess the producer thought if there were enough off-color jokes, attractive people, and beautiful CGI, we might not notice that the movie doesn't begin to attain to the title "Mystery".… Expand

Rian Johnson showing he cannot write to save his life, with a murder story that forgets the mystery, and has to cheat by reshooting scenes from a slightly different angle, even though it was clear from the original angle that this is NOT what happened. To make it worse there are multiple key aspects of the movie that would never have happened (allowing a character to even join the weekend) without random characters suddenly acting as dumb as Rian truly is. This is a movie for people to pretend they solved something when it was never really a puzzle, so they can pat themselves on the back for finally solving one. That is the subversion of expectation, but also qualifies for false advertising. At least Batista did not burn his crotch (I hope) when he fired the gun then promptly jammed it into his speedos, because over-exaggerated stereotypes are so funny. Also, the heroine is an attempted murderer and a French death squad will be killing her for her crimes, all with the approval of Benoit simply because the detective is a moron. Everyone ends up in jail in the real world, except they would have died of course, if Rian had a single active brain cell.… Expand

I don't understand the positive reviews to be honest, and looking through them I have my doubts that all of them are legit. Sorry to those that enjoyed this one, but 20 minutes into the film, and I'm struggling to hang on. It just wasn't entertaining. The script is average at best, and Daniel Craig just seems to be miscast, as I really thought his performance was flat. One other thing I noticed, and then confirmed only after I saw the film- is the attempt at social commentary. Rian Johnson and I would probably agree on 90% of political issues, however, I think he is thinking of the commentary first, and story second. It seems that his thinking while writing goes something like, "This would make a good parody of so and so hated politician, and boy, that would be funny in this story." It is too much of a sledge hammer so it isn't subtle at all, and that just makes it unenjoyable when the rest of the film is already struggling.

It seemed as if Johnson built this steaming pile with over the top cliched characters and settings in a futile attempt to disguise the fundamental failings of this movie’s witless writing. I might give this movie 2 stars if it wasn’t written and directed by someone who’s had a track record of producing much higher quality projects in this genre.

"Fun" is the main focus in almost every positive review when it should be exchanged for shallow. Celebrity name drops & long drawn out glamour shots are the musings of a middle school fan fiction writer.

Rian Johnsons, or whatever his name is, is a hack. Save yourself the trouble and watch a foreign film that actually provides an escape from the crap we see in our news feeds 24/7.

Do people who rate it above 8 do it out of cognitive dissonance because they can't cut Netflix? That's the only thing I can take from this trite copy of Agatha Christie, who was a very minor writer herself.

That's the only thing I can take from this trite copy of Agatha Christie, who was a very minor writer herself. You know a "movie"is bad when it can be reduced to a 200-word synopsis as fellow user Vulgaris did us the favour to expose. Some people rate this 10. Perfection?

Wow, I can see why metacritic is the better audience indicator than RottenBoughtTomatoes. Yep, it's crap no question.
