meh. tons of coincidence and contrivance to further the plot. obvious humor that doesn't work. how these people ever come together to become friends makes zero sense.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first movie was one of my favourite movies in the last years. This one was going pretty well fromt the start but then they´re started working with flashbacks. Going back and fourth and using one of **** tools of story telling. Despite the massive pacing issues from this point on. The first movie at least got some relatable characters or story parts but in this movie you can't relate to a single thing. This movie just looks like a big money show off. The last half hour is just boring, disturbing and not even the logical end of the story. If the two main characters would just have lost the game, it could have been still a good movie. But moving it to a happy end, not breaking the viewers expectations even once in the whole movie, is just bad writing. I think they had no final ending at all and decided to use pretty bad cgi to impress people who don't know any better. Hopefully there will be another movie with Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc because this role is made for him. But they clearly should do some more work on the story and not the style. First movie had both but it was only good because there was also a good story with substance behind the style.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I genuinely don't understand the hype hear. It's the exact same movie as the first - which I loved, but don't wish this could have been more (or at least different). The main character literally calls the plot of the movie dumb, in an incredibly meta moment of the film, and people cheered it to be a triumph. It was lazy and made no sense in the end.

Nobody likely cares, but I think there was a better movie that could have been and it really sours this movie as a wasted opportunity...

Andi should have been the villain. You don't have to change her backstory. Miles and everyone stole her idea and blocked her out. However, a napkin is hardly evidence of this. So, she spends years with hate, watching these people get rich off her ideas. She receives the puzzle box from Miles - which she destroys with a hammer - and this sets her plan in motion. Andi pretends to be her own twin and the movie plays out almost exactly as it already does. Her goal is to kill Miles, framing Duke for the murder, except her plan is foiled when Duke ends up drinking the poison in Miles' glass. No stupid miracle with the thin notebook stopping a bullet or hot sauce fake blood. Instead, contrary to Knives Out, Benoit actually misses this one - until the very end where she makes one critical mistake (it would be funny - given how much Craig has said to struggle with his southern accent - if her accent gave her away). He realizes it was Andi and although he gets credit for stopping her plan, he is distraught because his blindness for the damsel in distress - stemming from his experience in Knives Out - led to the death of an innocent man. This would have been the perfect place to leave Benoit for the inevitable end to the trilogy (or threequel if they continue to milk this dry). Self-doubting and unsure. Glass Onion would have been the antithesis to everything Knives Out got right and would have been far better, in my opinion.… Expand

Rian Johnson hasn't had a financial flop so he hasn't gotten the hint that his craft is predictable and quite frankly subpar. And 'Glass Onion' tries even harder than its predecessor to make some kind of political statement about class and race, coming off even more ham-fisted (which was the first film's biggest fault). Every character is an unrealistic, unbelievable cliché and caricature. And Benoit Blanc's flamboyance is dialed up to eleven, making it just a distraction. I only saw this in theaters because there was nothing else. I should have probably just waited until it came out on Netflix. Or better yet, not see it period.… Expand

It may well be a "parody of a classic detective fiction and also a social criticism" (Francesca Lombardo), but it is even more "Agatha Christie reloaded" (Mariarosa Mancuso) at the time of the "decline of Western filmmaking" with its "ultra-binge watching in streaming" (Gianluigi Negri). A necessary clarification: when I speak of drift, decline, low empire, I'm not an inconsolable nostalgic.

The issue is with its lazy writing for the characters and the annoying tropes that come along. They don't work mostly. The humor doesn't find its landing. There is a pan-cake delicacy that aims for the laughs, but it does nothing. With the annoying tropes come plot devices expecting viewers weren't predicting the same. That makes the whole experience an underwhelming ride in comparison to the surprises that the predecessor had in store while it laid out the plot in favor of the investigative approach.

Netflix making me watch it on TV probably made it less good. Related media: KO. KO is a great mystery film. Negatives: 1) The story just isn't as good as KO. KO is twisting and turning all the way to the end, but GO seems to have only one major twist and it isn't that great. I was hoping for a counter-twist, but there isn't any. 2) Edward Norton is an irritating character and most of the others are not much better. Unlike KO, there is no true likeable characters to root for. 3) The mystery isn't great, the detective just solves the mystery without much surprise and the ending is uninspiring. How would the different age groups rate this: Children: They won't get it. Teens: Boring. Young adults: Meh. Medium-age adults: Meh. Older adults: Don't care about these people. My rating: 3/5 (no half scores). Save your money and watch it on TV.… Expand

It starts off rather strong, but then it goes way off the rails into mediocrity really quick and it's all downhill from there into that rather bad ending. Johnson makes it way too obvious who the bad guy is from the beginning and that’s just one of the many problems with this movie. Another thing is that the big, mid-movie plot twist doesn't make any sense. It also doesn't help that all of the characters are just unlikable. None of them have any redeeming qualities or the depth of humanity that De Armas and Plummer conveyed in the first one, and by the end you just want the story to get it over with which is kind of the way Benoit Blanc acts like if one were to be honest. Also, no spoilers, but lets just say some of the characters didn’t deserve the ending they got. I’d rate it a C at best and would not go to a theater to see this.… Expand

Knives Out was a well-told whodunnit, suspenseful, amusing, just this side (the right side) of clever. The characters were interesting, and in the case of Daniel Craig, cast against type to great effect.

Glass Onion was none of these things.

After the cringe was over... we get a promising premise of a murder mystery game on a beautiful island with some great actors like Edward Norton and Daniel Craig. After patiently waiting for over 30 minutes of build up, our detective ruins the fun mystery for everyone and deflates not only the murder mystery game by solving it instantly, but the movie also deflates like a sad whoopee cushion for the entire second half afterwords. Predicable plot, mostly poorly acted uninteresting characters, disappointing nonsensical ending... doesn't live up to the first movie at all.… Expand

There is a cleaver solve ,early in the film, made by detective Benoit Blanc. However, shortly after that scene, everything turns into never-ending flashbacks. Second half is less engaging and repetitive allowing us to know exactly who did it one hour before the end. From that moment on it felt like someone is trying to tell you something you already know. I think that the third sequel they are preparing should be made on a much lesser budget that would challenge writing and story structure instead of focusing on explosions.… Expand

This case brings him to an isolated island owned by a tech billionaire (Edward Norton), who has assembled a group of mildly eccentric friends for a murder mystery game. Unlike the previous film, the oddball characters aren't especially fun or even odd. Writer/director Rian Johnson has loaded this script with too much dialogue…it's an hour before anyone dies. Even afterward, there's more focus on justification for the crime , instead of action or even interaction. Since the locale is new, it's provides some opportunities for stylish design. Otherwise, this sequel is too talky, rather slow and lacks many surprises. (Look for the late Angela Lansbury & Stephen Sondheim in a brief Zoom sequence.)… Expand

Numerous plot holes (if he killed his ex why would he not bat an eyelid when she turned up at his island? Why would a napkin be such compelling evidence when they can easily be printed with any bar wordage on them?). The flashback scenes take up half the film, killing the momentum. The ending is also very weak. The tech guy (who everyone guesses as the killer as soon as he appears) burns the napkin then the detective just strolls away and the woman just smashes the place up and suddenly the dumb friends all change their minds.

Knives Out didn't try anything new when it was released two years ago, but the film had a very strong identity, as well as a killer cast that, despite their small interventions, all left their mark.

That doesn't happen with Glass Onion, and yes, I am fully aware that everything rests on our criteria, but I felt that, in this installment neither the mystery, nor the characters had the same plot weight of its predecessor, which I found quite conflicting because no matter how hard I tried I couldn't immerse myself in the plot in the same way.

It's an entertaining film, if expectations cease in the comparisons, because Glass Onion may not be a waste, but against its predecessor, it loses out in every situation.… Expand

I am not American, I am a New Zealander, so here is a proper review of the film for the other few hundred nations on earth they forgot about.
What I mean by that is, as per my handle and as per my predictions years out on America's cultureI am not American, I am a New Zealander, so here is a proper review of the film for the other few hundred nations on earth they forgot about.
What I mean by that is, as per my handle and as per my predictions years out on America's culture war, the conning of the Right from within and without... plus that the Right would storm the Capitol (two years out), I just know a thing or two.
Unfortunately, many stateside do not.
Like a good murder-mystery, I am on the outside looking in. I can judge you and objectively so.
Firstly, opinions are not equal. If they're word for word? Then sure. Otherwise, the repeated sermons and idiocy of the Right could just be summed down to one comment and a zero and you should not publish their reviews metacritic. It destroys your credibility by virtue of the fact that they have none - and no scruples. Pure freedom is abuse.

Anyhoo....

So, is Glass Onion good (rather than enjoyed because you are you a liberal or disliked because you are a sociopath trying to make America great and glorious, um, again... hang on, when was that again? When it was terrible for everyone but white men like me? Yeah, that is what you regressives mean... Evolve or become inconsequential at best.. that's what I would say to you dying horses)? Or disliked as Right Wingers hate Star Wars' recent updates (fair enough) for being too "woke" (unfair, they're just okay, bad, really bad as movies... not MandMs being too lezzy for you - women hold hands, deal with it and stop watching porn incels, you're just awful people who don't know it, no one owes you punks anything), not Winnie the Pooh or whoever you have next in line to whinge about because you confuse virtue-signalling, woke, social justice warriors and whatever else you project out of the embers of your total lack, for what is effectively your own refusal to understand you're a worse person and a Right Wing moron... it's basic stuff of course but 'cos you got played by the Right, needing the working class to elect them / to vote 'em in, to avoid education and the 'lying mainstream media' i.e. reality, lol... You've been prevented from epiphany both openly and stupidly.. Then you worship your abusers?... Bit sad and pathetic, just saying).
Truth is though, deeply ironically, on this film, they're right, the Right, on this one and only occasion that I can recall out of about 67,832... Not the greatest strike-rate...
I mean, give a monkey a typewriter.
But it isn't bad for their reasons. It just isn't very good. For comparison, I would give the first one 8/10. Their (Right Wing sheep) low scores are a reflection of how much their defence-mechanisms have forced them to hate anything but themselves for losing their way and becoming monsters condemning their very own, but it would just go over their heads to explain that to planks of wood well past the point of no return.
But you are in an awful mess.... and the Right are to blame. Their voters are victims but complicit enough that all must now suffer the same fate. That is very sad, but true and now necessary.
Anyway, sorry if my opinion on all that upsets or angers, to alleviate somewhat any of your strong reactions necessary to conceal self-awareness, all I can offer is that it is entirely fact and only my opinion as it is fact. Rather than offer instinct and repeat brain-washings, I just have facts entirely occupy my opinion, then my opinion is fact.
So, unfortunately, or fortunately if you still have your soul intact... I am indisputably right. And you lose. I hope that doesn't upset the overwhelming majority of incel males on the Right Wing who angrily sit at their keyboards and bring down user scores on MOST occasions because the film has a 'massage they do not like" i.e. it reminds them they are awful. Ah well, suck it up buttercup.
Enjoy the film... or not. It is okay at best and has glaring issues with plot and contrivance that, as a writer, I find spoil the whole thing for me. I was also pretty sure who the 'killer(s)' was/were. Those are the faults.
The stupidity, racism , projections and backwardness of the sheeple on the Right are alternatively far, far more frequent and far less forgivable.

You're religious because you are 'conservative' (translation: extreme)? Then I would be very, very worried about that.

You can go home now Right. This case has been solved.… Expand

I didn’t like any of the characters. It was painful to watch. A mystery that I don’t care at all. First one is way better.

Fun but forgettable. Not in the same league as Knives Out. Daniel Craig still can't pull off the accent, but he looked like he had fun trying. Edward Norton is always a win.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Knives Out was a solid 8/10. Great mystery and very fun. Beautiful setting with the manor in autumn. Glass Onion is more of the same, but throws in politics and wokeness here and there. All straight white men are bad. They made one character gay, when there was no indication of that before. Powerful black leading woman that we must be in awe over for no apparent reason. CNN and Fauci on TV. Stupid, buff, straight white man that lives with his mother and reeks of toxic masculinity (spoiler alert: He is the first to die). It's very clear what they were trying to go for. But the mystery itself was still fun to watch unfold. It's a well done story and the setting is cool.… Expand

Wokish version of Clue. Great cast. Plot twist that I didn't see coming entirely.

A bit boring. Craig's character is fine but the story was dull and had far more tepid talk than action.

The last 10 minutes to "resolve" the mystery seemed like a rushed and disjointed mess.

The first move was funny, quirky, with an interesting cast of characters. This sequel has none of that. Most of the characters are loathsome, the is very little to laugh about, and the wonderful eccentricities of Benoit Blanc are minimized here. This leaves the viewer with a plot that isn't really all that interesting. The cast does it's best with mediocre material.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A mystery film spoiled by political cliches.

I'm going to assume that you've seen the first one and liked it like I did. Why else watch this one although this could be a standalone film for the most part. This is a good film with a potentially good plot, but the film tries much harder to push a political agenda and an estut person will easily figure out the 'evil rich white man bad' "twist".

The movie itself has some great shots, clever dialogue, and stellar acting. Unfortunately, every evil character is some caricature of what the director Rian Johnson, thinks a republican is. One is tatooed 'F YEAH MURICA!' gun carrying dumb dumb, the blonde woman is basically Trump tweeting stupid stuff and not taking the virus seriously, Edward Norton is the rich white man who wants to oppress black people. Rian is not subtle with these characters and thus it is obvious from very early on that the rich white guy who likes to oppress black people and funds republican stereotypes has an evil plan to *surprise* oppress black people and steal their work. Were the acting not good, the characters would be laughably one dimensional. Rian, I don't want to know who the bad guy is after meeting him for five minutes. Learn subtly. The best is when you give these evil characters redeeming qualities so they don't become blaring stereotypes with evil intentions. You know? Like in the first movie!

The climax of the film is extra cringe. The hide-away virtuous victim holds the 'evidence' to lock up the evil racist white man in his face (like the first movie), and of course, he lights it on fire. I awaited for her to pull some clever trick, but instead she decides to just start rioting and destroying all of evil rich man's stuff. For some reason, the evil republican lackeys start to cheer her on and do it themselves. Evil rich white man of course wasnt smart enough to install a camera where he holds the mona lisa, so they get away with it. Rian clearly wants to portray a 'pro-riot' message for BLM. It just feels out of place and cringe.

It's really too bad because the first Knives out also had some political agenda but it never interfered with the plot or made the characters too shallow. The first one would get an 8/10. This gets a 6 because i was at least entertained… Expand

Unlike the first film, this one fails at shaking you up by letting you in on the twist half-way through. This takes it in a new direction; you know "who did it", you're just along for the ride. Not much mystery in this mystery. Besides BenoitUnlike the first film, this one fails at shaking you up by letting you in on the twist half-way through. This takes it in a new direction; you know "who did it", you're just along for the ride. Not much mystery in this mystery. Besides Benoit Blanc (bless him) all the characters are whomever you want to portray onto them; I believe they're meant to be unlikable and a bit dumb, and they are. The ending is pretty shallow.… Expand
