He's not wrong. It's always the same villain. Completely predictable ending

You might want to read this article about the art work that was used for the millionaire's home. Variously described as art for an arse.

Do honestly think there was any chance at all of them switching the casting of Janelle Monae and Edward Norton? They got their white mail villain who is actually stupid (why did they bring this up when he had a pretty good plan?) and only succeeded by stealing the idea of the capable black woman that she wrote on a napkin?
Never.
Especially since Norton's character was eerily similar to being Elon Musk.
Predictable. Another blah Netflix movie.

I thought it was entertaining, but definitely one point out of ten below the first movie (7/10 versus 8/10). I’ll definitely watch the third one when it comes out because they’re still fun and I’m not tired of Craig’s character yet.

Never saw the first one but I'm just gonna dive into and this and go back and watch if i really like this.

I guess we’re conveniently leaving out that the main protagonist of the film series is a straight white man? But that doesn’t fit your victim mentality agenda, I guess.
I really don’t understand how some of you enjoy anything in life when you watch a movie that doesn’t even mention race or sexuality in the slightest, not a single line, but come away offended because the bad guy was white and one of the two good guys was a black woman.
Clown world, and yet you think you’re more sane than the far left.

That scene with the mouth spray gun felt like him saying to the audience “just kidding, we are going to unshackle this movie from that whole thing and just have fun. You’re good”
And it served a purpose. It was an easy and convenient way to innocuously introduce an important clue.

I liked the first Knives Out more than this, but this was still a 7.5 or 8 out of 10.
Thought Janelle Monae, Dave Bautista, and Leslie Odom Jr were all good, and the chick playing Bautista’s gf was really hot.
I’m generally a big fan of Ed Norton and thought he did well, too.
If you haven’t seen the original Knives Out, you’ll still get almost everything in this movie since Daniel Craig’s character is the only one in the original.

It was alright but I guess I was expecting something more clever or another twist that never came idk

I think most people would just think it’s nice if every once in a while there was a movie or tv series where the straight white guy wasn’t a bumbling idiot man child or a lazy naziesque racist. I mean let’s face it, in the real world and in real life 99% of the time the straight white guy is the smartest one in the room or being the hero in a war or dragging a baby out of a burning building while the sassy black woman is selling newports at the gas station or stamping forms at the DMV. But somehow Hollywood has it completely backwards nearly all the time. And that’s because they are really the ones who live in a political bubble, not random posters on tiger droppings. Hell, the cast specifically to get enough minority characters to fill their made up minority quotas. And they do it only to feed their own vanity and try to convince themselves that they aren’t racist or bigots. But you and I and everyone else knows that they are all more bigoted than an Alabama sister fricking trailer park Klan rally.

**** SPOILERS BELOW ****
Blanc is gay. Did you not pick up on the cameo by Hugh Grant that answered the door?
It was just an eye roller and didn’t take away from anything, but let’s not act like that wasn’t added for today’s trends.
There was no patting themselves on the back for it which is usually what earns my ire more than just the general inclusion and moving on. Dumb but fine.
*** end spoiler ****

Good God, man. Is there any part of life that you don't view through caricatures and stereotypes?

I was shocked I liked the original one.
This one was way forced. Like think about the associations in this movie vs. the first one (spoiled family). Just seemed real forced and derivative. It's one of those sequels that tries to just amplify the original.
Hopefully the third goes in its own direction.

I’m not arguing the post as a whole, but wasn’t it revealed, or at least implied, in this one that Blanc is gay?
I only ask because I haven’t seen the original since the theater and I thought I remembered Blanc being enamored with De Armas. Or maybe I was just projecting
He could be bisexual obviously, just wasn’t sure if that was a change in his character or if he was more ambiguous in the first. He could have also just been letting De Armas think her sexuality was disarming him I guess, the same way he was playing the star struck fan in this one, but I just don’t remember it well enough to know.
We enjoyed this one, would love to have one of these every year. But the first was better, just not as over the top I guess.
The whole cast did a really great job, they all nailed their characters. Also it was nice to see Norton and Hudson really knock it out of the park, feels like they aren’t on screen much in a while. Madelyn Cline TYFYS.
Maybe my biggest problem with it was that Norton was revealed to be such an absolute clown at the end, hinted at throughout, that I found it hard to believe that an incredible woman like Andi would have been so blinded to his absurdity, even as a younger college student.
I mean it kind of makes it hard to take her as seriously if she lets this douchebag Frank TJ Mackey wannabe (amazing reference btw
) lead her around the way he apparently did, again, even if we’re supposed to believe she was still just naive at that point. He’s literally dressed, and coifed, like a caricature of toxic masculinity in the bar as she’s inventing some revolutionary source of renewable energy and yet she can’t see through him as a fraud?
I don’t know, just seemed like it didn’t totally add up to make both of those characters interact they did if they are both what we’re supposed to believe they are.
Still, lots of fun and some legit laugh out loud moments, even if the mystery wasn’t quite as tough to crack as the original
ETA: I see Blanc’s sexuality was raised later, didn’t mean to harp on it.
Also, in case anyone had trouble placing Norton’s outfit at the bar

I felt like this one definitely had its own direction in a good way. I loved the old dark manor in the first one (I would live in a house like that) but was really glad they didn’t rely on that being the gimmick of the second. This one was bright and glitzy with very different characters than the first.
I even felt the mystery was done in a very different way.
