Glass Onion (2022)
Just didnt hit the same
The previous movie was a fun whodunnit movie with a unique style and great actors. Besides it being pretty long there was nothing to complain about.
The glass Onion is trying to do exactly what knives out did but couldn't pull it off. The plot just wasn't as interesting or well constructed with some weird plotholes. After about an hour I got pretty bored and even thought about quitting. It felt like the story was strangely streched out without doing anything interesting.
The acting and the location were good and its always a joy to watch Edward Norton. Dave Batista is also doing pretty well.
If you really liked the first movie you should still give it a try.
The Valhalla Murders (2019)
Nordic Noir spot on
This show just gets the job done! If you are a fan of nordic noir or - detective shows with an depressing athmosphere - as some might call it, you will definitely enjoy this one.
The Story works great and you just get this feeling of tension and suspense that you want from a crime show.
The one problem I have with the show are the main characters. She is a caring yet career driven woman who does everything to solve the case while having family problems. And he is just this grumpy yet great detective that never smiles and has a sad backstory. It feels like I watched these characters hundreds of times already. I mean its not bad but it just feels a little overused.
Capitani (2019)
Not bad but a lot of better stuff out there
Not a bad show but there is nothing special or interesting about it either. Its mediocre in every aspect. If you dont expect too much and just want a crime story for a free weekend you will still enjoy this one.
My biggest problem with the show is the plot in general. There are so many plotholes and an unbelievable amount of characters making weird decisions. It just feels like everything needs to be put a certain way to somehow make the plot work.
These plotholes made the ending of season one very confusing since there were still so many questions unanswered and I expected at least some of them to be answered. But instead it just ended.
