There's a nice touch to each of these, and if they're pretty big and glossy, well that feels a natural continuation of the style that Rian Johnson brought to his earlier puzzle-boxes (The Brothers Bloom remains close to my heart). Just like the original Knives Out and Glass Onion (which I seem to have missed on this blog but remember enjoying), there's pleasure from the neat, overtly plotted murder-mystery structure, the equally overt social commentary, Daniel Craig's wonderful Benoit Blanch, and a bunch of charismatic others. Probably there's diminishing returns a bit though.
