Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Doesn't quite reach the peak of the first one, but it's a step up from the 2nd. It's a lot more personal and dark than the other 2, which I really liked
- saw it. its good but its a different vibe then the first 2 for sure. the movie is a bit more serious then the other 2 and it threw me off but i still enjoyed it.
- Just watched the flim yesterday and it’s the best one which is crazy how great the last two were
- It's not the same kind of "ensemble" as the first two movies were, it's much more focused on O'Connor's character specifically and it works really well along those lines.
- I loved it too. Easily betters Glass Onion and it fells like it has more to say about the world than either of the other two.
Cons
- The movie almost felt like it was being purposefully dumb to be funny but it wasn't landing right and just felt dumb
- If i had paid to see it in theaters i might have been more critical but since i got to watch it at home for the cost of my subscription it was totally fine just not as engaging as the first one for me.

Doesn't quite reach the peak of the first one, but it's a step up from the 2nd. It's a lot more personal and dark than the other 2, which I really liked, and it keeps the (sometimes-outdated) humor.

I generally feel like every character served their purpose, whether for story purposes or thematic ones. But for anyone who hasn’t seen this film yet, lemme tell you Josh O’Connor is fantastic and you got him to look forward to
I loved it personally. Saw it twice and on rewatch, I loved it even more
lol am I the only person excited for this movie? I'm not expecting anything ground breaking, but the other films were fun
I thought it had a better plot than the first one but the characters in Knives Out still haven't been beat. And that's not me saying the movie or its cast aren't incredible. It's like a 9.8/10 to Knives Out's 10/10.
