Rian so far is pretty good at not Star Wars movies.
Coming out soon. Really enjoyed Knives Out.

Gotta give credit when it is due. Rian has this Knives Out series formula mastered. Definitely going to check out #3 here.



PS.... Still, fuck you Rian for ruining Star Wars.

not going to turn this isn't a star wars thread, but i think rian would make a fine star wars movie, as long as he wasn't being forced to use pre-established characters. some of the things that were being talked about in that movie were interesting, if you take out WHO was saying them.

Looper was fucking atrocious.

Knives out was ok. good stuff, and some bad stuff. I'm willing to give this a shot though.

This was a pretty fun watch. Way more enjoyable than the first movie IMO.

well shot, fun to watch. Rian being Rian. plot was absolutely retarded and don't think about anything for more then 1 second. Probably worse then Looper. Celeb cameo after celeb cameo. Amungus. Covid, facemasks. Soy levels12000. I can't tell what was a plot point, and what was Rian being retarded, and "don't think about it too much". Stops and looks at the camera to talk about disruption. not sure if its Rian trying to justify starwars... he does mock the statement later. its a murder mystery where you can't look too closely or too deep. Terrible resolution.

ok, heres the plan, we crash this exclusive party of 5 people who individually or possibly together murdered your sister. Certainly we'll be safe. Private island of multi-bullionare. certainly he'd never just disappear us. Plus the fact that didn't happen. At any point the problem could have been solved, just by openly murdering them. why even hide it? Theres no witnesses, or cops. Fire at the end even provides easy cover. As if "boating accident" or a millon other excuses could have been stated. to the point of, "they never arrived"
If they were crashing the event, how the fuck did he even get allowed on the boat in the first place? Covid cure guy didn't ask for his ticket, or anything..

no phone. yet, has an ipad sitting around to toss to james bond, has live link with Serena williams, is very familair with phones to turn off max's, etc. Plot point or rian being retarded? no one follows up on the gun. lots of uppity people, who don't know where the gun is currently..

dude could have literally just killed them all with the gun at the end, and threw their bodies into the burning building.

your super fuel is explosive when exposed to flame!! you'll be ruined! right. your fuel creates more fuel. you'll be ruined!! Does Rian understand how fuel works? Literally every fucking fuel explodes when exposed to fire. fuel that generates more fuel. mother fucker that is a FEATURE. separating hydrogen from oxygen is too expensive in reality. if your fuel does that just naturally, you are the new emperor of mankind in the making, as long you dont get murdered yourself.

The killer was easily predictable and obvious, good but not better than the first

It was a lot of fun, very easy and enjoyable to watch. Plot holes you can fly the enterprise through but that doesn't even matter.

Amazingly Kathryn Hahn is the weakest character in the movie and I love Kathryn Hahn.


Burst out laughing when Benoir ruined the game, so funny!

I like how they do a good job of springling little hints that people will pick up on without it actually being relevant.

The assistant doesn’t allow Kate Hudson to have a phone so she wouldn’t have gotten the email and maybe that clears her or point at the assistant. But then they later reveal a secret phone which explains it. Right before batistas gun goes missing Kathryn Hahn, Janelle Monae and Whiskey all have their hands on him or bump into him on the side where his holster is. Apple has a clause that their phones can’t be used by villains in film or Tv and all the suspects use androids and only Bond uses apple products

Much like Benoit halfway through the movie it throws away any chance at being a successful mystery and the story becomes as dumb as a substitute teacher reading a history lesson.

Should have been more murders, they had enough characters to do the kills and cast a Whiskey actress that will show some tits while they're at it. The 2nd half of this movie thematically felt like Terminator 4 where you're just being told how it goes without any real twists.

The second Norton says Batista took his glass was way to obvious. I thought it was misdirection or something more but no, you knew who the killer was in the first act. The vaccine bullshit in the beginning was cringe

I will say Batista can be great in certain roles and he's good in this.

Acting was good. Plot was meh.

Knives out was still a much better movie. This one almost seemed like a cartoon.
