I didn't like the first one either - I tried because everyone around me seemed to love it, but I didn't. This time around, however, I watched the first half thinking how much more enjoyable the franchise was in this second outing... it's a great cast and once I chose to ignore the inexplicable wardrobe given to Daniel Craig, for a minute I was almost won over. The plot was far more intriguing and I loved the layers of past tensions being slowly revealed to the audience in front of a literal Glass Onion.

But Then: the overall tone of the denouement transitions from Miss Marple to Mad Max in about 30 seconds. I had no idea what was happening at the end. I decided that I wasn't supposed to... perhaps it was the only way out of that intricately layered plot?
