As a fan of the original, this seemed like a whole different genre and shouldn't be linked in any way. Characters and dialogue weak and over the top - very caricature like, which didn't seem to match the first Knives Out where they were somewhat toned down. Blanc was a mysterious individual, but in this one, he's given far too much unnecessary dialogue that not even Daniel Craig can save.

The film started off unlikeable, but fortunately picked up in the middle where a few interesting twists happened, for it to then fall flat again at the end.

It felt as though the production team and director were given an even larger budget this time round due the success of the first one, that they didn't then know what do with it other than take the outlook of 'go big or go home'. The concept was actually good, but was executed so poorly. Frustrating when it could have been much better.

Not even decent a relatively decent cast could fight the poor writing or directing. 'Be as one dimensional as humanly possible' must have been some of the notes they were given.
