Not exactly as good as its predecessor, but still one of the better murder mysteries you could watch.

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

Very rarely do sequels matchup to their original movies, but Glass Onion does that, if not besting the original Knives Out.

Led by an outstanding ensemble cast, Glass Onion intrigues, peeling off each layer of the murder mystery with so much finesse and panache. Glass Onion weaves through its flashbacks and present storyline seamlessly, brilliantly infusing social satire, wit and humour.

The very nuanced portrayals from the cast is noteworthy, especially for Janelle Monae, Kate Hudson and Daniel Craig. The location, the cinematography, the direction and the score, all brilliant!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not a good movie. It earns two points from the fact that it's atleast visually appealing. First off all how is a detective as bad as blanc famous enough where people recognize him in a mask glasses and hat. Don't know. Why didn't miles kick him off the island. Don't know. Why didn't miles try to kick andie (helen) off the island despite they not being much of friends anymore and the fact that her 'ghost' has appeared on the island with the world's most famous detective. 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. Does rian blatantly refilm scenes. Yes. The twist of a twin is stupid as hell. Yes. This movie is full of contrivances and coincidence. Yes. This movie is bad. Yes.

Então um dia desses navegando pela Netflix eu encontrei a sequência Glass Onion - Knives out Mystery, Glass Onion: Um Mistério Knives Out - certo eu nãoA algum tempo atrás eu assisti Entre Facas e Segredos, e considero ele um bom filme. Então um dia desses navegando pela Netflix eu encontrei a sequência Glass Onion - Knives out Mystery, Glass Onion: Um Mistério Knives Out - certo eu não sei quem decidiu o nome em inglês mas não ficou muito bom... só acho. Assim como o primeiro filme esse foi escrito e dirigido por Rian Johnson , o nome é familiar? Isso porque ele foi o roteirista e diretor de Star Wars: Os Últimos Jedi.
Glass Onion: Um Mistério Knives Out, apesar de apresentar Daniel Craig, novamente no papel do detetive Benoit Blanc, não é uma sequência, pois as histórias são independentes. A estrutura me lembrou bastante dos livros de Agatha Christie. Aliás, o filme todo o tempo me levou para esses antigos livros e filmes de investigação das décadas passadas. O Filme foi gravado e se passou durante a pandemia (maldito seja - COVID-19), e achei brilhante não deixar isso de fora da história.
Mas sem mais demora vamos falar um pouco da história, a sinopse é. O Rico empresário Miles Bron - Interpretado por Edward Norton, envia uma caixa misteriosa para os seus amigos mais próximos e o detetive Benoit Blanc, com a caixa eles recebem também um convite para desvendar o assassinato do próprio Miles Bron.
Por ser uma sequência de Knives Out, mas não ter uma relação direta com o primeiro filme, mesmo não assistindo ao filme anterior é possível entender a trama desta segunda história sem grandes problemas.
É muito interessante a pegada de filmes antigos de detetive desvendando crimes, a música, a história, os personagens, te levam para o passado, mas o filme se passa nos dias atuais, o que você acaba lembrando pela tecnologia, e algumas conversas, essa combinação é maravilhosa. Eu amei o filme mas me incomodei um pouco com as reviravoltas, foi um recurso bem encaixado, mas eu acho que foi usado demais na segunda metade do filme.
De qualquer forma o filme é muito bom, e vale muito a pena assistir, quando você quer aquele de filmes de investigação com uma pegada bem humorada.… 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

The adrenaline rushed atmosphere felt at the beginning slowly fades away and the story doesnt become that interesting. The ending is quite lazy, but we must remember, the whole meaning of a 'Glass Onion' is something that shouldn't be overanalysed, and it relatively basic and simple. And so the movie lives up to its title. It's a very simple movie, not so much a mystery since most of the revelations are blurted out in one flashback scene. Nevertheless, it's incredibly fun to watch and the acting is quite good.… Expand

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

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

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

However, this is a follow-up that truly hasn't lost sight of its roots and/or what made its predecessor so great. Again, you're given a tremendously entertaining narrative here, which constantly upends your understanding of the given moment with each and every twist and turn. The character work and performances are all so vibrant and it's so good to see Daniel Craig back in this role. I'll be damned if we don't keep seeing more of these flicks and I think we may be all the better for it. Such a satisfying time watching this one.… Expand

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.

The first Knives Out was far superior. This one felt like it was written on a deadline and Rian Johnson just went all-in on spectacle and heavy-handed doltish “twists” to distract from the lack of good writing. I really liked Johnson’s Brick. And I thought the original Knives Out was a fun, well constructed, whodunit. But this sequel was lazy, clumsy, simple, and chock-full of lame/cheap plot devices. 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. Given his prior work, one would have expected something MUCH better from Johnson, so one star is all it deserves. Very disappointing. Barely got through it. Felt like a huge waste of time when I finally did.… Expand

Rian Johnson wrote/directed a solid, memorable murder mystery w the perfect amount of charm/comedy then proceeded to do the exact opposite in this obvious cash grab, ruining the Knives Out IP in the process.

"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.

Nothing else to elaborate on unfortunately - the irony of the name Glass Onion, when it's a 2h 19m shallow one note. To say this was disappointing is an extreme understatement. It's just plain bad.… 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

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

The rest of the characters were mediocre, except for Birdie, who was obnoxious, loud and annoying. She screamed way too much. Way too much! She was pointless, tedious and loud. The movie would have been better without that character. Well definitely without her screaming so much. It interfered with my enjoyment of the film.

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.

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

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.

The central protagonist, played by Daniel Craig, is much more developed and involved in the plot progression than he was in the first movie.
There is also significantly more humour, that is more topical, highlighting the ridiculousness of a range of current real world and internet stereotypes - in particular the ribbing of self-identified "disruptors" is excellent.
As noted, the movie starts by following the overly well trodden path of other murder mysteries and, thankfully, quickly diverges, bringing something a little different.
The movie makes much of references to the glass onion of it's title; something that is in plain sight, whilst still being shrouded in layers. Ironically, I expect the reverse may be true for some viewers, unable to discern and appreciate the layers of subtlety when presented with an apparently superficial plot.
It is hard to know how a future film in the series can address this; the lack of a sledgehammer denouement is literally what makes the films worth watching, but is also a significant challenge to being popular with part of the audience.
Overall, a great film, well made and possessing a solid sense of humour. Look forward to the next episode.… Expand

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

My first film of 2023, which has started with a bang! I adore the original film from 2019 so was expecting big things from this sequel and I'm glad to note that it didn't disappoint - it's a cracker. I did, admittedly, predict the general gist of what was going to happen, though (in this case, minor) predictability doesn't always equel badness - like here, I was thoroughly entertained no matter what.

The cast from the first film are better, though those that star in this 2022 release are excellent. Daniel Craig is, of course, superb as Benoit Blanc once again, every single moment with him is terrific. Janelle Monáe also gives a fantastic performance, I predominantly know of her from music but with this, and 'Hidden Figures', she can certainly act too.

Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista and Edward Norton are the best of the others, though even the likes of Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr. and Madelyn Cline are good value as well. Like its predecessor, it's very astutely cast.

The film is put together in high quality fashion, Rian Johnson & Co. did a great job - particularly with the framing of certain shots, as well as the music which is real neat. As you'd expect for a film of this sort, there are some nice little details spread across the well utilised run time. Like 'Knives Out', I know I'll be revisiting 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' when possible.

It sounds like Johnson and Craig are up for making more of these, and to that I say bring it on!… Expand

Proof that star-studded box office hits should be avoided at all costs. Now you're the one pushing it, Rian!

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

Nowhere close to the first film. A complete cringe fest all the way through.

At first, I really thought this didn't live up to Knives Out. On a second watch, however, I noticed that the same level of care and clever had been put into Glass Onion, just in different ways.

I absolutely adored the first Knives Out which is why I was looking forward to the sequel Glass Onion. This doesn't flip the whodunit genre on its head like the first one but it does tell a very entertaining whodunit film. When compared toI absolutely adored the first Knives Out which is why I was looking forward to the sequel Glass Onion. This doesn't flip the whodunit genre on its head like the first one but it does tell a very entertaining whodunit film. When compared to the first Knives out, it starts very slowly and unfortunately doesn't have as strong an ending either. It is also lacking in the creative editing and cinematography of the first film. Even though this film has the same editor and cinematographer as the first film. However, the cast is outstanding! They all did a great job playing over-the-top archetypes of rich people. I also thoroughly enjoyed the mystery itself, which constantly kept me guessing. While this tackles terrible rich people again, it does explore it differently. It shows how Miles Bron's (Edward Norton) billionaire nature can have a grip on people and the mistrust it can cause. Likewise, it continues to have fun, witty dialogue and a great musical score that I loved from the first film as well. Overall, it doesn't hit the same highs as the first Knives Out but it is a great follow-up. I'm looking forward to more in this franchise! I still think it was a missed opportunity to call it 'Fork In Hell'.… Expand
