Well, I heard so much about this movie. The first movie KnivesOut was just ok. The murder mistery style was good but very simple to notice the truth. But this second movie looked completely different. From the trailers the movie just looked silly and goofy. But in the contrary, it was pretty good. Definitely better than the first movie. They decided to add several plot twist to add to the mystery. Still wasn't as difficult but provided more of a challenge. So viewers are ready to try to catch up to every little detail. Motives, places, times, characters, events etc. All that to be ready and try to guess the murder. But from the beginning it started different already. Rather than actually solving a murder at first it was more of a game. So the clues we thought we needed were kind of pointless. So now we try to gather new clues or try to hand on to the idea that something is not right. Either is too simple or they are trying to take a new path. But later we learn the real mystery and now all the simple clues take effect. How many of the small clues did you hang on to and how many of the big clues stick. Plus how many unnecessary clues did we gather along the way and even from those, how many were laid out on purpose as a distraction? Ok, so now we are given different kinds of clues and obviously if you kept up and didn't overthink it you probably knew what happened. But if you believe they are trying to trick us and trying to add take a new approach you are left with many clues that can still lead you to the truth or just misguided you completely. So the movie path is very simple. It was either very simple and the simplenest make you doubt or follow the plot very easily. Or it was very complex and the little twist took you through different paths that distracted you from the truth. Either way Blanc explained to us everything after a certain part of the story. The last "puzzle" or "reason" why it ended it is explained after the last scene. But you can tell if you follow the story after the whole revelation scene. The comedy of the movie is good enough and helps hides some details throughout the story. The characters and cast were good enough choices. Now the movie can go either way in enjoyment and reviewing. If you just watch it as any other movie or if you didn't watch the first one KnivesOut then it is probably just fair. If you try to play along but didn't try to find every detail you might find it just ok. But if you decided to play along then it is pretty good. Yes, the movie might be no big deal and if you take a serious approach you might find the challenge dull. I would recommend just play along and enjoy the ride. If you don't usually try to guess the murder or try to figure out the mystery before the movie reveals it then try it. Give it a try. At the end the movie is about that, trying to solve a mystery. The movie is more enjoyable if you play along since the beginning and try to solve the mystery. Obviously still the mystery it isn't as huge as we could hope but it does provide a level pf interest. Also, for some it is no big deal and the viewers are trying to make more of what the movie actually was. Either way it becomes a better movie if you actually try to solve the mystery. Overall it is a pretty good movie. Not a movie for everyone and can't really watch it again since it loses all its purpose. I will rated 6.5 because it is a decent and entertaining movie. Better than KnivesOut and it is entertaining from beginning to end. Maybe the many twist were a bit excessive, some characters unnecessary, and at times some logic was a bit silly. But overall it was pretty good.
Rating: 6.5
