Glass Onion is a decent mystery drama and entertains enough, but it's story never reaches the heightened drama that it suggests, and it's finale is a downer. Besides that the acting is still just as good as Knives Out, now being more accepting of Craig's accent here. Though it's missing an element that made Knives Out so much more fun, the dynamic between the characters.

If watched before Knives Out you'd probably be a bit more positive. But as a sequel, which this kind of is, it continues the story of Blanc, then it's a weaker installment.

Directing, this again was a nice looking movie. But doesn't surprise much. What it does do too much is the flashbacks and recounting events. To the point where you think it's just filling the movie up. Sure the flashbacks had some plotpoints semi-important to the story but it wasn't told efficiently. Besides that the set design and setting overal wasn't not that interesting. Nor was the glass union design. It felt somehow generic.

Acting/characters. Acting is just good, no real standouts though. Everyone just gives a good performance, convincing enough. Characters are the real issue I have with the movie, they lack any sort of dynamic, they feel distant and removed from each other, making me care less and less about anything that happens to them. They lack humanity, they lack purpose besides being a plotpoint. The main guy, Bron was also just kind of dull, never did I get a sense of mystery from him.

The story and how it turns out is much weaker than Knives Out, arguably I like the concept of the story, but the execution left me wanting for me, something I didn't have in Knives Out. Also the finale just felt really weak, really? Material things? Didn't feel impactful.

Decent on a boring day and you don't know what to watch, but entirely forgettable.
