| 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. |
