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

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.

If a joke has already been told on other occasions and with more grace, in these cases it cannot really be said that he who laughs last laughs best, no, here the one who made you laugh first wins.

Knives Out didn't try anything new when itIf a joke has already been told on other occasions and with more grace, in these cases it cannot really be said that he who laughs last laughs best, no, here the one who made you laugh first wins.

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

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

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

This sequel only has one of those adjectives going for it (read on to see which one). Daniel Craig returns as the extremely Southern gentlemen detective (with a surprise roommate cameo). 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

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.

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

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

Every character is an unrealistic, unbelievable cliché and caricature. And Benoit Blanc's flamboyance is dialed up to eleven, making it just a distraction.

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.

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. start was super cringe with all the covid references... i think everyone on earth is sick of hearing about covid, we dont need reminders in our movies. 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

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

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

The movie would have been better without that character. Well definitely without her screaming so much. It interfered with my enjoyment of the film.

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. Overall, I just couldn't recommend this as I thought it doesn't meet the hype by a long shot.… Expand

Don't know. Why doesn't miles have security cameras. Don't know. How did Duke not notice his gun being pulled off him. Don't know. How does Helen perfectly imitate andie to the point where andies friends of nine years sense that its not andie. Don't know. How did miles shoot exactly where the note book is. Don't know, how did the note book stop the bullet. Don't know. also shooting through glass would change the direction of the bullet. Why did blanc carry the hot sauce the entire time instead of putting it in his room or put it down somewhere. Don't know. Why does Rian blatantly refilm scenes. Don't know.

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

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

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 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.

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 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. It’s actually getting so pervasive how these people throw this stuff in our faces 30 times a day, no wonder mental health is at an all time low… Expand

Incredibly boring and tepid beyond belief. Much like the first one it’s a mess of bad takes from Poirot and an assortment of horrible decisions. From the script, to the editing, the cast, just awful. Avoid like the plague.

Custom made for r*dditor midwits, by a r*dditor midwit. The dialogue is awful, the acting is stiff, the writing is childish and the direction is just a mess.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If it wasn't for the ending I'd have rated 5/10. A pretty mediocre affair with the usual in jokes, mockery sneering and ham fisted social commentary. But really nice wardrobe and sets. Yeah, whatever, but they burnt the Mona Lisa. WtF? The hero burnt the Mona Lisa and it's supposed to be cool. WTaF? Horrendous. What's going to happen in the next movie? Killing puppies?
And they could have just have hired an actor from the Southern United States with a natural accent instead of Daniel Craig. There's tons of them. Sad and pathetic… Expand

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? Like Michelangelo or Bach or Tarkovsky? Poor 'Meuricans.… Expand

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.
