The first Knives out was way clever, this was predictable and dumb. Didn't enjoy the cast of characters as much as the first one. Story was just okay as well. Worth a watch but doesn't match the original. Some good lines, here and there , hell of a expensive production sets, values, but ultimately rather dull and pointless unless you're a fan of Agatha Christie type mysteries. Lots of unnecessary cliches . If it was stand alone movie it would probably be a 7 star. Nevertheless worth watching. Weak points ? More comedic than the first one, And a lot less mysterious. That's the nature of sequels, they rarely live up to the original.
