Review of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) by Sumochrizzz — 07 Jan 2023

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.
