OK who has seen it and what were your thoughts? My wife and I watched it over the weekend and she was PISSED... She hated it.. She said the ending was stoopid.. I am still hearing crap about it.. I mean how do you do that to James Bond?
We watched it the other weekend, or should I say we tried to watch it. We both dozed off. To me, this was a big miss for Mr. Bond.
How do you do that to James Bond? The same way every recent remake/reboot/"sequel" has bastardized the original source material. Hollyweird lures you in with nostalgia, then shits all over your feelings by "deconstructing" your heroes because they don't have any talent. Many of the writers are whiny kids that have apparently never actually overcome any kind of difficulty in their weak, pathetic, boring, bubble-wrapped lives. Their "Creative Writing" classes in school were all about how to inject THE MESSAGE into every story, whether it is relevant or not, and usually in the most ham-fisted way imaginable.
I enjoyed the movie. It's action, it's drama, it's entertainment and it's just a freaking story. Yes there were times I had to roll my eyes at the writing but I could still enjoy the storytelling. Baby mama was too young for his crusty old ass anyway. And as the last line in the credits said... "James Bond will return."
Obviously my favorite movie series of all time...I was disappointed. Best part was his female sidekick for about 15 minutes.
I read that they may lose money on this one because it sucks so bad. One does not re-invent James Bond.
I liked it. How else do you retire Daniel Craig from the series? I was never into James Bond growing up because they always felt too “dainty” or not tough enough to be somewhat believable. Craig was the first that I felt was atleast rough around the edges.
The killed James Bond,.. essentially killing the whole damn thing....There have been several people playing the role of 007 but they killed him this time so in my mind James Bond as a series is essentially over
That right there is why I have NO peace in my house right now... SHE is pissed, they ruined her James.....She said and I quote, if they were going to retire him then he should have sailed off into the sunset with a hot blonde
They killed Bond? Oh well. On to the next 007 then.... Idris would be good. And honestly, the misses vs. hits ratio from the Broccoli family is batting at about .500. Maybe. (Moonraker?....) Still love the intros though.
Overall the movie was good… I thought they rushed through a lot of things ( movie was still decent time length) that being said I didn’t like the ending… not that the ending was bad just felt it wasn’t the way it should have ended as a diehard Bond fan.
Wasn't a fan of the ending, and wasn't the best Bond film. But also wasn't the worst for me. Better than most of the movies that came out during the pandemic. With the exception of Tenet.
I'm guessing the continuity is just dead, and he'll magically be back (a different actor) in the next one as if nothing happened. Or they'll just remake all of them with a more PC Bond, which is more likely.
