7/10

**Glass Onion lives up to the expectations and spirit established by Knives Out but doesn't bring anything new to a growing franchise.** Glass Onion is a fun follow-up to Knives Out that captures all the character and energy of its predecessor. While I enjoyed the original more, Glass Onion was still very entertaining. The powerhouse cast ensured that every character exploded to life through th...

Brilliant! 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 entertaine...

As with the first Knives Out movie, I found the plot to be clever and intricate and the story very well told. There were a few interesting plot twists and, even though the dialogue could have been more witty, it was intelligent and realistic. I did find that the Renoir character reminded me of an Agatha Christie character, in that he reeled off suppositions he’d made based on information we had...

What's great about this is that within the first minute or so of meeting every cast member you are told who they are and what their motivation is... ... so it leaves out the tedious who done it guess work of murder mysteries. And you are told almost from the start who the killer is and what his motivation is.. ... so you don't have the tedious guess work there either. But to keep you o...

Almost everything is already told and you know who the killer is. Moreover: I hate when they put Covid into movies. We already lived two years full of stupid restrictions, and this film is like if it's trying to say:"ehy, be a good ship and do as it's told you to do", all this topped off with Google and Apple advertising.

“Glass Onion: A Knives out Mystery” is a thoroughly entertaining, well crafted, thrilling step up from its predecessor “ Knives Out”  Benoit Blanc ( Daniel Craig ) returns as the World Famous detective who unintentionally has been invited to a private island by the host of a murder mystery party, Myles Bronn ( Edward Norton) There is palpable tension within the select group of party guests well...

There's nothing spectacularly brilliant about the film, except that the mystery is a pure pleasure to watch. The cast and technical aspects are great. And while the film is dedicated, for one, to Angela Lansbury (author of long-running Murder She Wrote) the detective here is clearly Dame Agatha Christie's. The closing credits also say that it's dedicated to Stephen Sondheim whose connection escape...

**A childish scenario that prevented me from participating in determining who the killer was?** The first part was dazzling and surprising for those who watched the movie and the fans of movie type of: Who is the killer? The first part presented a group of well-known stars in a different format than the roles they played in previous acting works. In the second part, I face many challenges: W...
