Firstly the quality acting made me smile throughout. Norton was brilliant but there's no flaw anywhere else either. Superb. The oddness of Craig's accent in the first film, just wasn't an issue for me in this one. The characters are so good. Setting it during the pandemic felt naturally done.
Incredible scriptwriting - somehow a many layered murder mystery, a farce, slapstick, social satire, soap opera. Pleasing red herrings, visual jokes, in jokes, ... You'd be expecting a plot twist and i think it's very original.
Went to it to entertain my hard to please parents on Christmas afternoon. Dad grumbled that it was going round in circles and not getting anywhere but both parents said it was very good at the end. I get how it's structure could be annoying but it works.
Very few films I'm happy watching twice, but about to go in for number 5. Reliably entertaining.

I'd been put off watching this movie because of the bad reviews from the start and only watched it because of a dearth of anything else I was interested in.
And I absolutely don't understand the negative reviews. Some of the initial interactions are a little clunky maybe, but it is definitely one of the better back stories, the characters are relatable/understandable and as a man I'm probably not the main target audience, but it got me in a way that the last Dr strange, black panther, captain marvel didn't.
I found myself looking forward to a sequel quite early in the film.
And yes. Kids just are annoying.
