Last one finished shooting, so seems like a good opportunity to discuss the previous ones
First one was good, I thought the second one was a waste of time.

I can’t get over them still calling them Knives Out mysteries. It really seems like a terrible misstep.
They were fun movies but not compelling enough mysteries.

I’m just not sure I see the appeal… they mash in this weird campiness that makes it hard for me to enjoy it on a serious level, especially the second. I love a good mystery too, the old masterpiece theater productions of Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Ironsides were favorites. I also really enjoyed the new ones with Cumberbatch, so it’s not like I’m opposed to a modern reinterpretation.

Johnson clearly stumbled over himself when writing the script for the second one.
I loved the first one though.

I saw the first one and wondered what all the fuss was about - I was expecting something clever and meta but it was not much more than a decently adapted Agatha Christie with a slightly distracting lead performance (looking at you too Sir Ken). I haven’t got around to watching the second.

Started watching the first one and heard the fake southern accents and couldn’t keep watching.

Daniel Craig sounding like Foghorn Leghorn? I’m interested. Ana de Arma as the lead? Yes please.

I started watching, realized that vomiting was going to be a plot device, and noped out. I mostly watch shows during meals. Who wants to watch people vomit? Disgusting .

I like them, they're entertaining. The second one got a little convoluted, but I still enjoyed it. I also just like the character Benoit Blanc.
I'll be looking forward to this new one.
