No Time To Die (now contains spoilers!) Ha

So the woman knows he killed your husband and then sleeps with him?

If it helps, she didn't like him very much.

I'm just surprised that you don't think it's a very Bond thing to do. It seems like exactly the sort of thing I'd expect him to do.

Will your next complaint be - he killed someone in this film, and then he just made a flippant comment afterwards!

I think it's more the issue with the woman, the entire series has gone off the rails.

Yeah, let's bring the old days back where a 16 year old ice skater was trying to sleep with James Bond in the form of a 53 year old Roger Moore

I'm probably in the minority but he's probably my fav Bond. If anything I think it's been the writing that's let his stint as bond down, QoS sucked and NttD has really been let down by the black holes in the storyline.

I watched it for a second time on Tuesday and I think it may be the last time. Malek ranks up there as one of the worst bond villains ever cast.

Agree. Also love him as Bond. My favourite too.

Which was played with a humorous "Lolita chasing an uncomfortable older man" vibe for laughs rather than a seedy old man vibe

No you donut, I meant his issue with it was probably a woman sleeping with her husbands killer is a little far fetched.

 

[smokedog]

Not a Bond fan but this one was ridiculous or maybe they're all like this and I never played enough attention to notice. I found this boring, like playing a video game with God mode switched on... there were points were he didn't even bother dodging the hail of bullets... is he Bond or T1000?

 

[kakarott]

Yes exactly that. And he didn't bother saving her when he knew she will be killed. He pretty much overcomes all worse case scenarios.

 

[Malevolence]

You do know it's all make believe, right? It's a movie, it's not real life. And besides, it was Monica Bellucci so it would be awfully rude not to tick that box on the bucket list.

Sums up most action films since the start of films. No reloads, 100 enemies couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a rocket launcher but the hero picks them off one by one without breaking a sweat, etc.
It's brain off and enjoy cinema.

 

[Feek]

No reloads

I always look out for this - this time there were lots of reloads, picking up weapons from bodies etc. It was really noticeable.

 

[DistrictRline]

sorry to say that I don't quite enjoy this one...the story arch is ok until Bond left Cuba ...the following half just left me thinking about what I'm watching...
Have been following the whole Craig Bond and the Casino Royale remains the best, no doubt of that, and the rest have been a bit of a letdown

 

[Deleted member 651465]

I enjoyed it, but that isn’t to say it’s without fault.

Unstoppable nanobot virus with no vaccine or kill-switch?! I’d have thought an EMP would have killed them little blighters

Christoph Waltz was woefully under-used. They created mystique with him controlling things from inside prison then immediately killed him.

The rogue scientist was an interesting concept but we’re talking about a lab geek. Not some criminal mastermind… how many times did they show him collaborating with Malek? I forgot about Maleks motivation and began thinking of the scientist as the real threat.

Enjoyed bond’s new family arc and the scene where he was peeling fruit for the little one was a perfect juxtaposition against the manly bond character they’ve created. That ending too

If they bring bond back after that ending and try to claim that “they never found a body” I’ll have a stroke from rolling my eyes too hard. It would be better to try to retcon things and say that the name is just a code name much like 007 is just a number.

The token ethically diverse 007 role was utterly irrelevant and pointless. I can’t think of a single thing that she did which wasn’t 1) tipped off by bond 2) actually meaningful to their mission.

 

[jcr]

watched this and thought it was quite poor. towards the end why did 007 escape in the boat with bonds family and leave him to finish the job? just about the most crappy thing someone could do.

 

[VincentHanna]

She wasn't 007 at that point.

Because Bond asked her too?

Also because it was Daniel Craig's idea from the start to kill him off and they worked back from that premise.

Spoiler: major plot point

Because he had the killer nanobots on him programmed to kill her which could not be 'cured' (despite the obvious EMP watch which would do the job in the real wold - opps).

 

[chroniclard]

Liked it, far from perfect but decent bond movie on the whole. The other Bonds were all good at the time but they don't compare well to modern movies and Craig.

That was after they left.

Looks like I am in the minority but I absolutely loved it - very emotional ending.

Love Craig as Bond too but it is time to retire - he was getting too long in the tooth
