I, too, watched &quo...How did I miss this earlier. I, too, watched "Glass Onion." I have a slightly different take. I found that it wasn't well paced. The exposition, while essential to the plot, did seem tedious to me. Perhaps it is because I found myself disliking pretty much every character (except Blanc and Brand). If it wasn't that I disliked the characters it was that I just thought that all the common murder mystery tropes seemed to be checked off. There was misdirection, twins (I particularly hate the whole twin thing), flashbacks, the whole formula seemed a little tired to me at some level. That said, the movie was very well acted. The direction was good. I think it could have benefited from another writer/editor. I didn't feel that my time was wasted by watching it, but I'll never give it another thought or viewing.The Maximum Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049183891152402775noreply@blogger.com
