Beyond belief used to spook me when I was younger watching them late night.

Beyond belief used to spook me when I was younger watching them late night.

All those types of shows had the creepiest narrators.

Even the Forensic Files narrator creeps me TF out.

No Time to Die... What a satisfying end to the Craig era.

I'll post a spoiler and non spoiler review but all I'll say is I can't believe they brought back Pierce... Wow.

 

[youngwolf]

Watching Mississippi Burning rn. I had no idea Frances McDormand used to be a hottie. She looks like a cross between Elizabeth Banks and Angie Kerber.

So where’s the non-spoiler review?
Lol

 

[Mark Antony]

If that's true how is that not a spoiler?

 

[getback]

Doesn't he just walk home after this too?

With the biggest smile on his face

I always took pleasure in him putting Janice in her place. Always knows the right buttons to push. You see the wheels turning in his head and then he'll say one small thing that sets her off

Sorry I got high.

I'm joking about PIerce, but I wish I wasn't... that would have been randomly funny.

IMAX is a must if you can, the size and scale of some of the action set pieces deserve IMAX. I hadn't seen a movie in an IMAX theater since Infinity War and man did it make a difference. The action was on point, honestly the opening sequence rivals Casino Royale in my opinion. Ana de Armas was better than I expected in how they used her. The acting was great, you really got the sense that this was the last in the series and all of the actors brought that weight and importance to their performance. The story was good... I think I'm just torn on Bond stories overall. I want something to be impactful and to matter, like Skyfall, but in the end it's just a bad guy who wants to do bad things and Bond has to stop them. Malek did well and I think they tied in enough of the previous movies to have some connections but not be weighed down by the past like Spectre was. The direction was great, some of the shots were pretty striking (extreme closeups, certain action shots, etc.). I really can't find too much to complain about it. I rank it 3rd behind Skyfall and Casino Royale, but I honestly might put it a bit higher than Royale but I'm also probably a prisoner of the moment... I was rewatching Royale the other day.

93/100 right now.

/8 ratings has been, is, and will always be pure chaos and anarchy and it saddens me that I'm the only one who acknowledges that.

Spoiler: Spoilers inside

Biggest complaint was the lack of Ana de Armas.... I know we have Madeleine and her importance to Bond, but I needed more Ana. Her being the naive, first timer, but then kicking total *** and her enthusiasm for her was so fun. I love her. Felix... I'm gonna smoke one for him.. R.I.P. to a real one. I always loved their relationship and that was one of the highlights of the series and this movie. When Bond took the motorcycle up the stairs and got some air the audience literally GASPED. Bond shooting the bad guy and then holding the intro pose was an amazing nod to the franchise. Bond having a daughter worked a million times better than I would have imagined if you told me "Bond finds out he has a daughter and must protect her". They did it so well and gave Bond the chance to have the life he always wanted but couldn't... because his job is to stop the bad guys. Wiping our all of Spectre was mostly a convenience to protect his family after he's gone, so I get it. I loved the bad guy scientist. The new 007 was great, Q was great, M was great, Moneypenny great, everyone was great and I loved how you felt the impact of Bond in this world once he was gone and came back.

I didn't think I would get as emotional as I did (maybe because I'm going through a breakup) but the ending hit me hard. Bond giving up his life to save the world and his family... and the ending as Madeleine was telling her daughter the story about her dad.. touching. Great movie and a great send off to Craig and company.
