I loved Knives Out so was looking forward to this sequel.

As a stand-alone movie its a lot of fun and enjoyable to watch, but comparing it to the original movie it doesn't hold up as well.

The whole tone of this movie is different. The acting is a bit over the top, the characters are all pushing the limits of believability, its very colourful and dramatic. Which is all fine, no problem, its nice to have a vibrant backdrop to a who-dunnit for a change!

There were a couple of issues with this movie in my opinion. Firstly the pacing was all over the place. It began pretty slow, picked up and then just wrapped it up at lightening speed! Secondly it did the one thing I absolutely HATE in a who-dunnit, which is include information during the reveal that was not deducible from the viewers position, ruining the whole point of the movie (for me). The fun of a who-dunnit is trying to work it out yourself as the story progresses. You could only do that up to a point with this movie, which took away some of the enjoyment of the 'OMG, now it all makes sense, what a good twist..' moment you normally get. However the ending was still satisfying.

But regardless, apart from the rather slow beginning, it did keep my attention, I did enjoy it and would watch it again. Hoping they make more.
