I found it to be moving, heartfelt and sympathetic, as well as sad. Brendan Fraser is worthy of every ounce of praise.

This is a decent, ultimately forgettable, whodunit, pretty fitting for an early January streaming release.

The result is bold, uneven, frustrating and entertaining. It may not be great but, since it is so many other fun things, does it need to be.

It is a noticeable step up from the original and makes a return trip to Pandora seem a lot more inviting.

Though thematically darker than the famous Disney version, it is an inspiring family adventure that del Toro has certainly made his own.

Glass Onion is just as enjoyable of a diversion now as its predecessor was three years ago.

It is approximately 35% love story, 40% coming-of-age story, 25% horror. That blend ends up working quite well.

Though a lot of viewers likely know at least some of this stuff, hearing it spoken, without melodrama, does have a strong impact.

It aims high and, though it doesn’t quite hit its mark, it still lands on “pretty good.”

The emotions ends up being way too thin to survive being buried under the usual spectacle, fan-service and set-up for future properties.
