EARLY ACCESS: Glass Onion A Knives Out Mystery FULL REACTION
Added 2023-01-13 19:32:56 +0000 UTCFolks, this was very entertaining and fun! This was a fantastic cast. The location was great. Like the first installment, this was very intriguing, energetic and mysterious. Throughout the entire movie, you are trying to find last puzzle piece to complete it all in your mind. The pacing of the story was spot on, immersing you deep into each character’s backstory where you can see their goals and malevolent intentions.
What did you think? Will you check out the 3rd installment?

Yeah, that was my thought as well. I caught almost every little hint and misdirection they were throwing at us, and if I didn't know the solution of the mystery from the start then it's only because we hadn't been provided the full information yet. Still, despite its predictability, it was structured incredibly well and the story was very compelling.

2023-01-26 21:51:58 +0000 UTCI don't think Norton knew it was the sister. He was not that smart. I think he thought she managed to escape the car and was aware of what he did. He looked shocked when he saw her. :D

2023-01-15 15:07:29 +0000 UTCYep, I love that. Everything about Miles makes him super sus, and a classic red herring. The red herring is never the one who did it… except here, it was the red herring all along.

2023-01-15 03:58:08 +0000 UTCloved watching this one with you! I've seen a lot of criticisms about this one being too predictable but I think that is what makes it good. After Knives Out, you'd expect another crazy mystery with twists and turns (like Benoit said in his final speech) but he subverted your expectations by doing the obvious. It's something you don't fully expect. Plus the acting is great, the setting is so cool, and it's great on a rewatch!

2023-01-15 01:34:34 +0000 UTCAs a couple others said, the first time I watched this I didn't enjoy it as much as Knives Out, though I still liked it. I've now watched it 3 times and rate it on par with Knives Out. I think the biggest flaw of this movie is that it benefits too much from the rewatches. Which makes the first watch a little lackluster compared to Knives Out. The idea that this mystery is hard to solve because of how stupid it is really is more genius than it first seems, and a lot of that is conveyed through lines that would never be noticed the first time watching.

2023-01-14 17:38:34 +0000 UTCYep, you’re right. It’s been awhile for me too; she has a twin brother… named Helenus. Got the two mixed up in my memory.
Jeff K
2023-01-14 12:40:24 +0000 UTCI haven't brushed up on my Greek mythology in a long time, but I'm pretty sure Helen of Troy and Cassandra aren't sisters. Cassandra is Hector and Paris sister. And Helen's sister-in-law then, after she is married to Paris.

2023-01-14 11:49:12 +0000 UTCFirst time watching it, I liked it less than the first one. Second and third time around, it's actually a nice follow-up from the first one. A lot of twists and turns, and great characters ! Also, it's always nice to have the 4 of you for a reaction !!

2023-01-14 03:43:16 +0000 UTCI respectfully disagree Oak..Remember he (Norton’s character) was a Dufus…he didn’t know it was the sister. He thought the one he killed. wasn’t dead…he was shocked and scared… he didn’t know…
Grandma’s4GreatReacts
2023-01-14 03:34:42 +0000 UTCKnives out is a 4.9/5 and Glass Onion is probably a 3/5. It just wasn't as satisfying as Knives out and imo, it was more silly. It was great watching with you guys, though.

2023-01-14 02:48:16 +0000 UTCCan’t talk over the dialogue guys…missing the clues!
Grandma’s4GreatReacts
2023-01-14 02:24:18 +0000 UTCIt really is fun to watch after you already know what happens. Like, one example, you can clearly see Duke’s phone in Miles’s pocket after he takes it. You just don’t really pay attention to it because someone having a phone in their pocket isn’t something that jumps out, until you remember after the fact Miles doesn’t own a cell phone.

2023-01-14 02:00:52 +0000 UTCI watched a video yesterday (on the channel Pillar of Garbage, about how Helen is the only real disruptor on the island) that broke that all down and made another connection I thought was cool: the puzzle box is essentially a stand in for the Gordian knot. For those unfamiliar, the Gordian knot was a knot so intricate that it couldn’t be undone. It was said whoever was able to undo it would rule all of Asia. After years, Alexander the Great walked up to this incredibly complex thing that had stifled people for years… and just took out his sword and cut it. The puzzle box is super intricate… and then Helen just walks up to it with a hammer and smashes it open. Taking the simple and direct approach to solving a perplexing dilemma. Additionally: in Greek mythology, Helen of Troy had a twin sister named… Cassandra. Cassandra was killed, and Helen brought down an empire. Given how particular and careful Rian Johnson is with his writing, it’s not a coincidence that this movie takes place in Greece.

2023-01-14 01:35:06 +0000 UTCAnd don’t forget the shout out to the amazing Angela Lansbury who passed away just three months ago. ❤️ This movie was more fun to watch the second time and I loved seeing you guys pick up on clues I originally missed, even if you weren’t able to connect those clues right away. 😎

2023-01-14 01:20:03 +0000 UTCIn the last scene, Helen mirrors Miles whole speech about what he thinks "disruption" is. First you break the little things, and people will cheer you on because they wanted them broken anyways: Helen breaks the glass figurines, and the others are cheering her along and even joining in because they're pissed at Miles. Then you keep going until everyone is telling you to stop: Once she starts setting things on fire, they are all telling her to stop and saying it's enough. Then you break the big thing, that no one wants you to break: and she torches the Mona Lisa.
Rune Kristensen
2023-01-14 00:37:24 +0000 UTCCool little detail, but at the end when Helen looks at the camera for the final shot, she does the half-smile like the Mona Lisa! (Quote from the movie: "You don't know what emotion the Mona Lisa is conveying, is she happy? is she sad?")
Lani Meneses
2023-01-13 23:27:26 +0000 UTCOh man one more I just noticed while watching: they show Blanc's watch, and it's an Omega. Omega is the watch brand that James Bond wears. I love that little nod.

2023-01-13 22:03:15 +0000 UTCOne thing I didn't even realize until the third time watching: if you notice, in the very final shot of the movie, Helen is sitting posed exactly like the Mona Lisa. The attention to detail is just nuts.
Jeff K
2023-01-13 21:49:09 +0000 UTCI just remembered someone mentioned in the Knives Out reaction that you guys should check out Hamilton since they talk about it in the movie, but now you really need to since Leslie Odom, the actor who plays Lionel in this one, played Aaron Burr (and won a Tony Award for his performance) in Hamilton.
Jeff K
2023-01-13 21:08:10 +0000 UTCThat's a good point. The rewatchs are still valuable almost every time.
Badd Medicine
2023-01-13 20:39:54 +0000 UTCOne of the things I appreciate about both this and Knives Out is the rewatch value they both have. It’s fun to go back and see all of the clues and little hints and references you didn’t notice initially. I’ve watched this a few times already and have noticed new things every time.
Jeff K
2023-01-13 20:11:52 +0000 UTCIt was very entertaining. Could be predictable on some spots. But very good overall.
