Glass Onion is a 2022 sequel (of sorts) to Knives Out, but stands alone without watching the original. Not quite as good as the original in my opinion, Glass Onion is still a hilarious film featuring Daniel Craig as the private investigator Benoit Blanc. I'll keep an eye out for more sequels, because I'm now a fan. I watched it on Netflix.
trailer:
AV Club says, "it’s nothing less than perfect crowd-pleasing counter-programming for folks craving something that isn’t either superhero or horror-related." Roger Ebert's site has a positive review. Vulture likes it better than the original. Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 93% and an even higher audience score.

Something about the hype turned me off, maybe I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteIt did get the hype, but to be honest without that I wouldn't've known about this or Knives Out either one.
DeleteI liked this film. Daniel Craig did a great job. And even better, I actually have seen something you write about-smile. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun when most people have seen a film :)
Delete...something that isn’t either superhero or horror, sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteor romance... It seems like I'm seeing more romance.
DeleteI didn't see the original, although I really enjoyed this. Now I want to see the first!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is well worth seeing. I saw it before there was news about a sequel.
DeleteThis was good and funny! ave a great weekend, Valerie
ReplyDeleteCraig is wonderful in it!
DeleteAbsolutely loved this movie
ReplyDeleteI've already seen the first one twice lol. I'm looking forward to the next.
DeleteI've seen the first one and loved it. I would like to rewatch that one before I see this second one, actually. (Just an excuse to see the first one again--lol!)
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't need to re-watch the first one for the sake of understanding the second one, but just for the fun of it :)
DeleteNever heard of either of these, so I have nothing to compare either to.
ReplyDeleteCompare it to other detectives.
