[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1058021, member: 50079"] What did people think of the new Bond? [SPOILER="Movie Ruining Spoilers"]The Good: the action as always being excellent. The scene where he was climbing the tower to the launch facility in particular was awesome. Car chases as usual were a lot of fun. I thought Daniel Craig was excellent throughout and showed a bit more variety than usual, even if he does hate playing the character. His scene with Waltz in particular comes to mind. Also loved the cheezy callbacks like the Bond, James Bond, the iconic turn and shoot and the tunnel at the end. Also Ana De Armas...... The Bad: Most of the dialogue was bad. Like I know Bond dialogue is always cheesy, but like even tonally there were random attempts at jokes during serious moments. The new 007 in particular was..... painful. Genuinely didn't have a single good line in the entire movie, was mostly just annoying and I don't think we will see the character again. Her scene with the Russian scientist who was also just shite, was awful. Him randomly just getting racist and then her delivering the line "time to die" seems like it was written by a 14 year old on work experience. Also thought Remi Malek's character was unoriginal. His plan was like a mixture of Covid, Kingsman and..... the nanobots from Cody Banks? The "we're not so different" shtick was a bit of a head scratcher and he was introduced a bit late on imo. Thought Malek did a good job with the role though, with that said. The Bond's child thing I thought also needed to be introd earlier if we're to care. If I'm being honest I'd also completely forgotten Lea Seydoux's character and what her story was at the start of the film, which made her being the love of Bonds life a bit flat. Mostly a result of Spectre being a bit forgettable compared to Skyfall and Casino Royale. I do like the kid idea in general for the character though. I am probably coming off as quite negative here, but despite it being a mixed bag I thought it was a decent send off for the Daniel Craig Bond and I think his story went full circle nicely. Definitely worth a watch, and I am interested to see what comes next[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
