Review of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) by 43In2014 — 13 Jan 2023
The short review: Not as good as Knives Out (KO). Glass onion (GO) is dull and it lacks the twists and turns of KO. 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.
