Knives Out Thread (Wake Up Dead Man: Knives Out 3 coming in 2025)

[Uncle Baby Billy]

This was ok. The ending was boring.

 

[g-ice]

Great movie overall

The ending left a lot to be desired though.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Never saw the first but I enjoyed it
If Janelle wasn’t such a damn weirdo
Don’t know who the premium pawg was but boy

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

highly enjoyed the movie

 

[humminbird]

just saw this with other people very good

 

[Black Excellence]

what's the point of every character being hammy as fukk if it's not even remotely funny? these movies are extremely overrated

Lol I’m 5 mins in and I’m like was the first this campy? Jesus they seem so over the top

Watched this over the weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed it. They definitely leaned harder on the comedy than the first one, but it seems like this had more of a goal to be a satire of recent events and public figures than the first one. In a just world, this would give Janelle Monae's acting career at least a little boost the same way the first one did Ana de Armas, but we all know that shyt probably isn't happening.

Spoiler: Thoughts with plot spoilers

I like that Blanc is more of the "detective that seemingly does nothing at all, but puts everything together in seemingly two seconds" type than the "smartest man in the room at all times" type.

The first movie did a better job of effectively explaining why everyone in the family was a piece of shyt than this one did. Batista and Kate Hudson (and ger assistant) were pretty obvious. Kathryn Hahn's flaw was telegraphed with how hard she was going on climate change in her CNN interview at the beginning, but you don't get the payoff for her being a fraud until the second half that recontextualizes everything. And Leslie Odom doesn't truly get painted in a negative light until around the same time.

Setting the movie in the early days of the pandemic kind've didn't make sense to me by the end of the movie. I get that it set up that Blanc would be willing to take a consultation because he was bored. But they have that scene where they get on the boat, and Ethan Hawke shows up with a magic spray that apparently makes the Rona a non issue when that shyt was catching Wilt Chamberlain levels of bodies. fukk pushing hard to launch renewable energy, even an idiot like Ed Norton's character would realize that THAT was the real "change the world" product to get behind. Just seemed silly to have that be a major plot point of the first 15 minutes or so, and then just handwave it away with a two minute cameo.

I thought that scene was just to show how rich people were acting during that the peak of covid and thought their money would protect them. that spray was nothing special at all. it was just something someone already sold to them as a "covid killer spray"

Yup

Just watched Knives Out last night. A while back I'd tried to watch it and it bored the shyt out of me. I gave it another shot last night and the first 30 minutes or so still didn't do it for me. But I persevered and I'm glad I did. The last act of the movie is really good and I enjoyed it. Gonna check out Glass Onion next.

 

[Dillah810]

I just got done watching it and really enjoyed it. The only thing I didn't like was how the last scene played out. Whiskey and Janelle could get it

 

[KING WILL]

1st 1 was much better.



Whiskey made this one worth watching.

 

[KRayner]

1st was better but i enjoyed this one
people were saying the new one was trash

 

[nieman]

I watched this again earlier today, and I loved it even more. Self-preservation amongst rich folk.

Janelle Monae was killin this role....drinking Jared Leto's kombucha
"This rich people ish is weird." "SH!THEADS!!"

 

[Maximus Rex]

shyt was mid as hell

Man really kept the napkin on some supervillian shyt
