I can see pretty quickly by skimming the top reviews that the audience is divided between thinking this is a great movie and a boring one. I am team boring.

Knives Out doesn't lean enough into comedy or mystery so it just a long story with a little whodunit and a few good laughs but that's about it.

There is nothing particularly bad about the movie in my opinion. The story is just too simple and predictable with no exciting reveals or memorable scenes.

This would have made for a better one hour episode of an anthology TV show. Its intentions were neat, it just didn't have enough plot to last two hours.
