Somehow, I guessed the answer to the mystery the second it happened. And I'm an idiot.

It certainly wasn't as good, but it was still fun. Solid performances all around. It definitely feels like it was impacted by the pandemic, limiting it from being as fully developed as Knives Out.

Watched it tonight and I feel the same. At least it's true to the name. The murderer was obvious despite however many layers the story had.

it's a different approach I think.

The obviousness of it feels intentional to make you question yourself. "It couldn't be them! It's TOO obvious! Besides it's literally NEVER the first person you suspect, right?!"

I donno, I saw what happened right away in that scene and was like...yeah I mean nothing else would make sense in that situation.

Agreed. Not as good but it did seem to meet the goal of the story they wanted to tell.

Knives Out is a solid murder mystery with a strong comedy element.

Glass Onion is a great full on comedy movie disguised as a murder mystery.

Yeah the first is way better but the second is still great. Just the first did everything better.

It was the most obvious suspect in Knives Out too.

I seem to be in the minority. I thought the first was very average. I thought the killer was obvious in the first one and the Knife line at the staff stuck out to me way too much.

The second I was thrown at the murder because Id only seen half the trailer and thought someone else was killed. But predicted the killer soon after the murder victim was revealed.

But the characters all seemed way more fun then the first.
