And wondered if they were cg. I don’t subscribe to nytimes so I’ll never know. I didn’t care for the movie that much. I thought the first one was much better.

And I was disappointed in the first one.

The sequel is an improvement, but it's much too long. The Sondheim/Lansbury appearance is mercifully early. Gimmicky as it is, it would probably have been just as good to see them even if they hadn't passed on.

I found the 2nd movie a big disappointment. I watched it in a theater. The cast was good. But the mystery elements weren’t that interesting. The writer-director is no Agatha Christie.

I guess he didn’t talk much in the first one so that accent wasn’t as grating. And someone that allergic to pineapple juice would carry an epi pen. I thought he was the killer near the beginning so rather obvious. The only surprise was the twin sister. I felt the first movie was almost as good as Agatha Christie story—this was not.

I agree with you that the first one was much better. Glass Onion was entertaining but the ending was totally unsatisfying.

I do think it’s marginally better. The first had a good cast but wasn’t quite glib enough to work as parody or intriguing enough to be suspenseful, though it ended well. The second started well, had an impressive twist and a cast that largely* knew when to wink and when to be dead serious, but it dragged on for too long.

I wish him well next time out, I love and miss good mysteries.

*I don’t think Kate Hudson pulls this off.

I did not like the first one at all. I thought the killer was obvious in both, but found the overall mystery more engaging in "Glass Onion."

I didn't think Craig's accent was as bad this time, frankly, but that's subjective. My only serious complaint about this film is that, as I said, it is much too long.

Same; lasted 35 minutes through the 2nd one. Among other things, this ended up my year for Daniel Craig fatigue. Haven't gotten over his Thane of Glamis exiting to open a beer can in the wings. Wait. Maybe that means I have Sam Gold fatigue.

The article is a must-read if only for her first quote. Priceless.
