Glass Onion (Knives Out): 8/10
Ten minutes in and I wanted to turn it off. The main characters (aside from the Inspector) all represent social media tropes that I just don't care to see on my screen. I preferred the first movie where the characters represented traditional 'old money' awfulness. However, after those first few minutes, I really fell into things and enjoyed the movie. By the end, I kind of came to the realization that this new version of social media influencers, celebrities, pop culture politicians, etc., are the new classical heinous persons. The whodunit genre has certain character archetypes and I get the director's desire to update those archetypes for the 21st century. I can't really say anything else about the movie without spoiling it, but if you get passed the first ten minutes and view the characters through a different lens, I think most will appreciate the movie.
