I agree that one of the highlights of Glass Onion that\'s superior than in Knives Out is the characters: all of them are well-developed and have equal time to shine in the movie, as opposed to some of the Thrombeys who aren\'t really developed much at all and are just kinda \'there\', not even having any hint that they could or willing to commit the crimes that happened, and you can just simply cut them out of the suspect list because of it.
Benoit Blanc is once again a delight to watch. He\'s actually becoming my new most favorite Daniel Craig\'s role now and I really look forward to see more of him in future installments. Can\'t wait to see how he\'ll top his performance in this and Knives Out!

A Fun, Well Written Mystery (Spoiler Free)
I had the chance to see Glass Onion during the limited theater release, and let me tell you, I walked away with a lot of awesome things to talk to my boyfriend about. Here are some reasons why I loved the movie, without spoiling any of the plot:
First off, it's just fun. It's an entertaining, funny, well produced movie with a really cool setting and a lot of awesome visuals. While the original Knives Out wasn't as willing to dip into the comedy, this movie has a lot of hilarious moments that didn't actually distract from the mystery itself.
As for that mystery, it's very well written, with a lot of little moments that come back in some big ways. It's just interesting, and very well laid out in my opinion.
The characters were great. All of them had more time than the Thrombeys, and thus we got to really understand them all as people, good and bad, right and wrong. Each of them had a realistic motive and some chances to shine, and one of them in particular proved to be surprisingly deep and sympathetic despite how the movie originally led you to see them. Benoit was also awesome again, this time as a bit of a fish out of water while also really showing off his intelligence and talent.
All in all, I can't find anything bad to say about this movie. It lived up to all of my expectations and more, and if you enjoy fun mystery movies, you'll probably love Glass Onion.
