Last one finished shooting, so seems like a good opportunity to discuss the previous ones

I like them, they’re entertaining. The second one got a little convoluted, but I still enjoyed it. I also just like the character Benoit Blanc.

I’ll be looking forward to this new one.

They’re not my favorite movies or anything, though it is still entertaining to see an ensemble of popular actors doing campy stuff together in one movie.

I actually liked Glass Onion because I thought Edward Norton playing a pathetic scummy rich guy was fun.

Its nice to see that Norton learned his lesson from The Italian Job and it was to double down on scummy pathetic rich guy.

Though it’s a shame he hasn’t come back to neonazi in a while.

First one was good, I thought the second one was a waste of time.

I’m just not sure I see the appeal… they mash in this weird campiness that makes it hard for me to enjoy it on a serious level, especially the second. I love a good mystery too, the old masterpiece theater productions of Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Ironsides were favorites. I also really enjoyed the new ones with Cumberbatch, so it’s not like I’m opposed to a modern reinterpretation.

I can’t get over them still calling them Knives Out mysteries. It really seems like a terrible misstep.

They were fun movies but not compelling enough mysteries.

@Pronell @Blaze I wish they kept making these movies, but with a different lead. No need for it to be a series unless all the criminals he’s brought to justice come for him in a series finale to like kill him or something

As is tradition the finale will feature Benoit Blanc solving his own murder that would be revealed to be a ploy to capture a serial murderer. That would end on an ambiguous cliffhanger about whether or not he faked his death and is still alive.
