Reading some of the reviews, it seems that no one who rated this below a 7 fully embrace is the idea that this is a satire in and of itself.

No spoilers. Each of the characters were an over the top representation of recognizable people from the truly satirical Social Media circus. The plot has twists and turns that, if you were truly trying to figure out the mystery, will leave you second-guessing yourself. It was full of Easter eggs from other well-known, and not so well known, movies in both the mystery and satire genres. The pacing was superb. Comparing it to the first movie doesn't make sense because, like the James Bond movies, only the main character and their personalities and idiosyncrasies are the continuum.

After seeing this, and recalling the first movie, I think I understand what Rian Johnson was trying to do with Star Wars Episode XIII (I'm not forgiving him, just saying that I see where he was trying to take it).

I watched it with family and friends from three generations. All of us were very entertained, which, in this day and age, is a masterful feat.

9/10.
