I really loved the first Knives Out. I love a murder mystery. But they really butchered this one towards the 2/3 mark through the movie. I was quite engaged for most of it. However, the way they diminished their main villain by saying he is stupid without letting the audience figure it out at all was pretty anti climatic.

The characters are quite interesting at times, the back stories support the main plot within reason.

But in the end it feels like daniel craig has done all of the thinking for us, unlike the original. Where their were crumbs of evidence and it was quite fun to play the guessing game. Who dunnit?

Not terrible, but has some average writing in parts and plot holes.
