I hoped that, it not being a Star Wars movie and I hence have no vested interest in the subject, I could objectively enjoy a Rian Johnson movie without being annoyed by the canon-breaking stupidity of Last Jedi. Glass Onion, however, proves that this is just what he does. He seems to only be capable of writing stories where everything has to hang together from countless things happening by accident in order to have a 'masterplan' come together. It - again - works backwards from some nice idea he had for a finale and then fails to make the big ending be plausible in any way. Scenes often contradict things that were seen or establishede before and the whole thing only works if you are willing to not think back to what has happened before. It's contrived, illogical, yet somewhat entertaining to watch because of the fantastic cast that somehow keeps a rickety script alive, despite it making just about as little sense as Last Jedi did. Johnson is a pretty good director; the stuff is entertaining enough to watch, but he's an absolutely terrible writer who is either incapable or uninterested in making his stories make actual sense. There are far worse movies out there at the moment, so I'll give it a 6/10 for effort en casting. Daniel Craig is enjoying himself in the same way that Jeremy Irons had a blast playing in that ridiculous Dungeons and Dragons movie: realising what a silly movie he is in, he's hamming it up and saving this thing.
@@fredriksvard2603 I thought Craig was pretty hilarious as whatshisname and Edward Norton can do the rich asshole with his eyes closed so he worked as well. The girl who played the identical sisters (such a lame and cheap trope for a whodunnit; I groaned when that was revealed) was very good. The rest were adequate with the material they had to work with. All in all, the whole experience was like watching a mid-tier double episode of Midsomer Murders, slightly lifted by Craigs ridiculously over the top Col. Sanders imitation.
@@berendharmsen Agree on the Midsomer Murders bit. Craig is always fun, couldn't stand the rest including Norton but it's probably because of the script they had to work with. Yes the sister girl was good though.
The first film really was donut shaped. In the first act he shows you everything that happened but there is a hole yet to be filled. The second film really is glass onion. Upon rewatch you see he really shows you EVERYTHING in plain sight. And you just don't see it because there are layers and layers of narration. God I love Rian Johnson
Probably the most funniest thing is that Blanc (who uses his own word language like the whole donut hole speech) is mad at Miles for using not real words 😂
I think that the piece of architecture in the dining room was not Greek, but Trojan. When the Trojan horse was to be pulled into the city, it was too tall for the gate so its top had to be disassembled to fit the horse through. Together with other Trojan references, it makes sense
it isn’t that Rian Johnson hates the rich. it’s just these types of mystery-whodunnit movie genres lends itself to this type of environment. you look at most Agatha Christie mystery novels, and you’ll notice that the character-suspects are always rich.
Is it just me or was the editing choppy and horrible in this video? Especially in the part pointing out the actors in their MCU roles? Also this script and guys voice was grating.
Well, actually Rian isn’t going to do just three, he just sold two of the films for Netflix and will in fact (if I’m counting correctly) 4 more movies!
Watching the second, and now third, times, I started to notice how much screaming Kate Hudson's character does throughout the movie. It's not always screams of terror, but she screams a lot all the same. It started to remind me of a character from a 30-odd year old movie whose lead female character screams pretty much non-stop throughout the movie. It was movie I wanted to like, but I couldn't get over all the screaming. It was annoying. Then it dawned on me; the actress playing that character was Hudson's mom, Goldie Hawn, and the movie is called Bird of a Wire. I think Johnson wrote the character Birdy as an homage to Hawn's character in Bird on a Wire.
Also, Miles’ invitation, despite being over the top, contained none of the information you’d expect from an invite 😂 No date, time or place, all of that was just to follow 😂
I didn't buy Janelle Monae's performance. I thought Ana de Armas was terrific in Knives Out. But kudos to Rian Johnson for casting a Cuban and a Black actor as leads.
Knives out was brilliant. This is much less so. I hate the film basically barrels down the track to fulfill the character Bron’s dream to be mentioned in the same breath as Mona Lisa. It’s not real but the film’s solution to that is insulting. Janelle is amazing. Her performance rivals Daniel’s detective.
I will admit I slept through most of it I found it not living up to expectations and its predecessor. I will re-watch to see what I missed. Thumbs down right now.
"Woke" is this year's "PC." And "PC" is what wingers howl when they wanna say "the n-word" and get furious that ppl sneer @ 'em if they do, and whine that they're being "censored" & "cancelled." We get it -- u don't like ppl of color, women, GLBTQs, Jews, other non-Christians, immigrants, other foreigners, scientists, journalists, liberals, or anyone smarter than u. But that's most of the planet, so go hide in yr holes w/yr fellow incels & the rest of the MAGAtry so u don't have to deal w/the vast majority who so discomfit u.
What did you think of Glass Onion?

It was super good. I loved pretty much everything about it, and I loved the chaos of the ending 😂.
@@berendharmseni hated the cast

God I love Rian Johnson
Underrated comment!
@@JC_Cali Agreed!
Wow wonder what the metaphor theme will be for the third movie
@@vangeles11 I'm going with... A butt lobster.
Glass Onion was an entertaining movie.
I loved it
Moderately entertaining

''after she leaves town for a Spartan'' Helen left town for the Trojan prince Paris, she was Spartan herself.
I actually saw Miles hand Duke the drink the first time around and was so proud of myself lol
That wasn't a "kid" on a hill that was (overused word) literally a fool (or a jester) on a hill.
I like how if we were paying attention we actually see a murder happen and who did it and how he did it.
I thought it was an exciting laugh riot, perfectly paced, comically camp, and freekin' funny.
That Bautista smacked me in the head
You missed a great 007 reference. At 1:34:00 of the movie , the alarm that goes off is they same alarm that is used in the n64 goldeneye game! Fun!
The dude was "corona" he had a corona Beer bottle in all his scenes. "Gawd!!!"
Natasha Lyonne is also in a Rian Johnson mystery series on Peacock later this year. And Kareem Abdul Jabbar writes his own mystery novels.
About Mycroft Holmes, what’s more! 🙃
"Kareem Abdul Jabbar writes his own mystery novels..."
...WITH a little help from his co-author, Anna Waterhouse.

It's not Helen of Troy. Cassandra in Greek mythology, daughter of Priam and Hecuba, literally has a fraternal twin Helenus.
A twin. Like the movie.
Yes, but Andi and Helen are identical
The first Knives out was better imo.
Same😊
Same but this movie was super fun
Yes. There is no denying but I love that they were able to make another one and as good. I can’t wait to see the next one
@@arcticchihuahua6513 I mean AS good is debatable...this was a different vibe and more of a campy type comedy with intrigue
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu Yep.
Is it just me or was the editing choppy and horrible in this video? Especially in the part pointing out the actors in their MCU roles?
Also this script and guys voice was grating.
Not just you, at some point I thought there'd be a punchline after a horrible cut but nope, it was simply that
If you double check your script, I think you'll find that it says "folksy simile" rather than "folksy smile".
Well, actually Rian isn’t going to do just three, he just sold two of the films for Netflix and will in fact (if I’m counting correctly) 4 more movies!
I was like "wait i heard of that guy.....
No wait im thinking of kareem abdul jableeveland"

Love this movie
I wouldn't know about screenrant if it wasn't for Ryan George* the rest of you are almost as good as actually going to class
Fix the part by easter egg 3
There is Breakfast Club Easter egg when Birdie yells and breaks the glass.
Also, Miles’ invitation, despite being over the top, contained none of the information you’d expect from an invite 😂 No date, time or place, all of that was just to follow 😂
Give Ryan a raise
I love this franchise🥲
"Derol" is also the name of Rian's IRL friend..
why no mention of the selfportrait of Edward Norton in an easter egg video, portraying him from fight club?
They mentioned it in the first easter egg video.
I actually commented on that casting idea in another video...
love both knives out movies
Kese ho
Would have been cool if they cast Norman reeds as Derol , wasted
Hii
I preferred knives out. Way too much build up until anyone got killed. Pretty sure when Draxx died there was only 30 mins left in the movie
Tyler failed this time
I didn't buy Janelle Monae's performance. I thought Ana de Armas was terrific in Knives Out. But kudos to Rian Johnson for casting a Cuban and a Black actor as leads.
did you mean folksy SIMILE?
Why the speaker sound like he reads at 3rd grade level?
Who TF edited this video?!?!? ... what in god's name happened between 2:35 and 3:03?
Nicely done
Thanks Kausani! Glad you enjoyed the video!
10$ dolar dedo

Ruin Johnson makes bad films
The only problem is they started to break down the movie half way through.
Knives out was brilliant. This is much less so. I hate the film basically barrels down the track to fulfill the character Bron’s dream to be mentioned in the same breath as Mona Lisa. It’s not real but the film’s solution to that is insulting. Janelle is amazing. Her performance rivals Daniel’s detective.
This show sucked, especially the 2nd half of the movie.
Rian Johnson has to be the most overhyped and under-delivering filmmaker alive today.
Sure, kiddo, sure.
There there, little edgelord. Does your tummy feel better now that you got that out of your system?
@@Zombie_Trooper If not, he comes pretty damn close
I will admit I slept through most of it I found it not living up to expectations and its predecessor. I will re-watch to see what I missed. Thumbs down right now.
This movie was more woke garbage

Wish it was harder to figure out, I knew who it was the moment they walked on the beach.
same. it was so obvious that i was sure it couldnt be true, but it was
Such a booring movie...
