oowee Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I went to see it tonight and it's alright. Some superb action sequences and a fair bit of sentimental clap trap, but if the future 'Bond'can be taken from the story line it may very well be the last one I go to see.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time you watched an old Bond film though? It must be nostalgia because some of the old ones now seem really dated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Personally, the last couple watched have irked a bit? I'm all for action and effects but actual reality is a must? Superman couldn't have pulled some stunts off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I think the thing with Bond movies is you get a sense of occasion and anticipation, if youβre a movie fan that is. Thereβs the new song, along with that familiar and iconic Bond soundtrack as background sound, the spectacular cars, spectacular stunts and stunningly good looking women, loads of gratuitous violence, and you just know youβre going to be entertained. Bourne it isnβt.Β As an aside, the head waiter at the restaurant where my OH works, often attracts comments on how like Mr Bean ( Rowan Atkinson ) he looks, and indeed he does, but as a big Bond fan he often tells them he prefers to be associated with Johnny English. π Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Finally managed to find the time for Mrs Jaymo and myself to go and view it. Glad I had premium seats due to its duration, however there wasnβt a single point where I was wishing the time away. Some good sequences as mentioned- even better to see the continuity errors and also the necessary measure taken in order to perform some of the stunts.Β Nice to see the DB5 with its upgrades. But I donβt know where they stored all the munitions and the logistics to feed those two βgarden strimmersβ The plot was reasonable plausible as far as the baddies goes- other parts were far too βnon bondβ for me. I wonβt say anymore, but glad I saw it on the big screen.Β Im with Oowee in that I doubt I will watch a subsequent Bond movie π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
