It’s not a good feeling to be on the minority side yet again after “Glass onion”. Almost feels like I watched a completely different film compared to majority. Although this has got some of the best cinematography of the series, best performances including josh o'connor, most serious writing of the series and the most emotional one, it was still not enough for me to completely love it. I know it tried to be more than just whodunit but still I couldn’t feel it as much as I wanted it to be. Writing didn’t do much as a whodunit. It was pretty basic. Some of the writing choices or a reveals were quite juvenile. Central theme of the film - church, corruption, GOD, Sins and all kinda overpowered the true essence of WHODUNIT for me. I expected more. It’s still much much better than the dud GLASS ONION but 200% it couldn’t reach the masterful writing and execution of the original “KNIVES OUT” according to me.
