Enjoyed it because it was Bond and worth going to see the arc of his 5 films
An hour too long and would I watch it again if I was flicking through the channels on Sky and it was on.....probably not |

A bit harsh BM, I'm thinking of going again, didn't find it too long at all  |

It was a bit too long (true of many Bond films and most films in general these days) and the bad guy was a bit underwhelming. But Craig was great, some amazing action sequences and, wow, that ending. Gonna be interesting to see where the franchise goes next.
If you're at all into the Bond series, it really is a must-see in the cinema. |

At the end of the credits on every Bond movie it tells you Bond will return in …….. I waited and sure enough at the end it says Bond will return. I really enjoyed the film and like the subtle nods to the past especially the pictures on the wall of the previous M’s. It’s not Casino Royale but still a great conclusion to Craig’s time as Bond and I think he revived the franchise. Will be interesting to see who the next Bond is. |

I'll go to see it just to get out. And I've never seen a Bond movie on the big screen so the action scenes should be good. But only 2 Bonds for me, Connery and Moore. All others were imitations. I might be old school but there you go. |

Yea I think I will. Went to see the many Saints of Newark a few weeks ago having not been in the cinema for almost 2 years and enjoyed the experience as much as the movie after covid!
Think this bond is def one for the big screen, popcorn and hot nuts  |

"Can’t see people flocking to see a 007 movie without James Bond the lady that played 007 brought nothing to the movie and didn’t convince me at all "
Ah I agree I enjoyed paloma's character way more |

Great cinema movie in terms of set pieces and visuals. The story and villain made no sense but the actors did well can't fault anyone in the cast, v solid performances.
Found some the wokeness just empty box ticking but most major Hollywood movies doing that nowadays. Would be curious to see if they do a female bond spin out and actually give her decent material to work with. |

I was thinking the samething about a spin off.. And yes rami malak was a good (only kept thinking oh its freddy Mercury) but there was no major plot of why he wanted to do it all.. But I just enjoyed it for what it is. |

Please don’t read this if you haven’t seen movie!!
They had no right to kill off the James Bond name! That’s it, gone. Why would they close the door?? Super movie, really pissed off driving home after. |

Guess I’m in the minority here but the ending just ruined it for me. The Craig era movies are for the most part good well acted spy thriller movies but for me they’re not ‘Bond’ movies. I understand what they wanted to do and I guess they have done it but at some point it goes too far and the spirt of the character is gone. The nods to the old movies just made it worse for me. By shoehorning in old Astons and music cues as if to say ‘see this is James Bond’ it just made it more obvious that the actions of Craig’s character were too far removed from the classic character. IMO |

Went to see it last night and thought it was excellent, had no issue with the running time either, I like to get my moneys worth out of a film, Daniel Craig certainly up there with Connery on the best bond list |

I was waiting for that too. But I can't remember if it used to say 'james bond will return' or 'bond will return' which left me thinking will the next bond be a younger blonder blue eyed bond with a teddy near?? |

"Thoroughly enjoyed it with my youngest. Didn't feel too long. Didn't think Malek was great tbh.

Yes, I was also surprised at how meh he was in this, given how good he was in Bohemian Rhapsody. Not a patch on Mads Mikkelsen or Javier Bardem. |

Folks , ye do realise James Bond is dead! Are we going to be left with dreadful prequels. Why end it like that. I was really hoping Christopher Nolan would direct one.
Saoirse Ronan needs to continue with Hannah, of subject but I think it has real potential. |

It'll be a reboot. There was a loose sort of continuity between the Connery - Brosnan eras - Lazenby in OHMSS reminiscing over adventures from his predecessor's time, Moore visiting Tracy's grave in FYEO, another reference to Bond having been married in LTK, the recurrence of Desmond Lwelyn, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell etc. - but Casino Royale was the first one which explicitly could not have been the continuing adventures of the guy from the last films.
So they may not do the prequel bit again (CR was also the first time Bond got an origin story), it'll just be like e.g. Ben Affleck being a new Batman with new Alfred etc., rather than suggesting he's the same version as played by Christian Bale. So I'm guessing anyway - it's pretty uncharted territory for the Bond franchise. |

"Why would you put up spoilers "
Ah now, this post started last week and I made a point of not reading until I had seen movie at the weekend. Seriously, anyone that hasn’t watched, don’t read!

Watched it last night, it was entertaining no doubt, but I've to admit I miss the political incorrect James who charmes every women he comes across with his machoistic chivalry. To replace that with emotions, introduce a kid and turn him into a caring family dad is just all wrong. Next movie he's gonna have a dad bod...

In my opinion Craig was the best Bond, its key they get the right Bond next as Daniel Craig was excellent. The film itself was superb and I enjoyed it,love how they had throwbacks to some of Craig's other films and bought bits into it such as the whisky at the end, similar to Moneypenny going in other movie. |

Love Daniel as Bond and waited with great anticipation, however I did not enjoy the movie, way too slow for a 007 picture, Daniel looked like he was going through the motions. Ana de Armas was fantastic and lit up the screen unlike the 007 counterpart. Hope they return to the tried and tested formula. A far cry from Casino Royale but then all of Ian Flemings material has been used. Maybe they could consider an author taking up his mantle and writing some more novels and adapting them for the big screen. |

Personally I hated it - Im a huge fan of the series and I thought the ending crapped all over 60 odd years of the character and the franchise
The first hour was decent, the rest was unnecessarily long, the bad guy was baffling with no apparent motive for doing what ever it was he was supposedly going to do, (which was never fully explained) and they really painted themselves into a corner with how it finished. The female character of 007 was cringe worthy and was so obviously a box ticking exercise by the producers for diversity. (no disrespect to the actress playing the role, I just think it was a poorly written 1 dimensional crap character)
The ending made no sense for many reasons (which I wont go into given spoliers)
lots of folks seemed to enjoy it, but I dont think I've ever been more disappointed in a movie!! |

Got to see this the other day finally. Thought it was just meh. It was strangely boring, even the 'shock' ending.
Next one will probably be a full reboot I guess? |
