This is one of those movies that I can immediately watch again right after watching it the first time.
I would say that this was even more entertaining than the first movie. I do agree with Rian Johnson though, a simpler title of Glass Onion would have sufficed. I mean, what is even "a Knives Out mystery"?
I do enjoy how Johnson can bring back more seasoned Hollywood actors and give them great roles in hi movies. Knives Out had Jamie Lee Curtis and Don Johnson, now we have Kate Hudson whom I haven't seen in a long while.
But every cast member here were brilliant. Very notably Dave Bautista who stood out with a very silly character. Edward Norton and Janelle Monae always delivers. Hudson had some of the best lines. And Daniel Craig has given his character a new layer, no pun intended.
I loved how Benoit Blanc solved the first mystery that quickly and it became a joke. And the real mystery had such a wonderful build-up that it surpassed Knives Out in its script. That big finale was pure exhilaration and fun.
After writing this review, I have an urge to go turn it on again. Definitely a best of the year.
