I really enjoyed Knives Out. This movie is very different, in a bad way.

The subtlety, light humor and complex story-line of the first film gave way to a childish mess of unfunny gags, a pseudo mystery with a lazy resolution and an ending that is so stupid and that you're left wondering what went through the mind of the scenarists (I refuse to believe anyone spent more than a few minutes writing this ending). Overall I felt a lot of laziness in the scenario and the production in general.

But the worst of this film are probably the different characters whose stupidity is so exaggerated that I felt like I was watching a remake of 'Scary Movie'. That's not at all what i was expecting given the tone of the first film. Of course Knives Out was full of sarcasm and was a parody of the crime scene movies, but not THAT kind of parody.
