I thought it was pretty good.
If you like Craig watch Lucky Logan |

It was ok, definitely the worst one from Craig.
It was weird to finally see 007 die. |

Quoted: The storyline was OK, but the end result was the total destruction of the 007 Bond franchise. The entire criminal enterprise of Spectre is dead. Bond is dead. Felix Leiter is dead. M is morally compromised. Q = queer, apparently. Bond's alleged successor lacks charisma. There is literally nothing left of the franchise. Perhaps the eulogy scene was appropriate to declare it ended. The only way to restart the franchise would be for Madeleine to have a son via 007 and set it 20-25 years in the future. View Quote That would be interesting. But I don't see how you get to legit James Bond who was not an orphan with attachment issues. |

Quoted: Quoted: The ending was stupid. View Quote View Quote Quoted: Quoted: Idris Elba would be a good Bond. View Quote View Quote If you wouldn't make a Shaft movie where John Shaft was white, then don't make a Bond film where Bond is black. As for Pattinson, I would really like to see him play Simon Templar. |

There's been a science fiction element that runs through many of the Bond movies. Craig's Bond was infected with nanobots when he was killed off and that could be the means of the character's ressurection.

Quoted: I thought the black lesbian who was in the movie was going to be the new 007. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: A good closure on the Craig era of Bond. Casino Royal was my fav of the Craig era by far. Ana De Armas stole every scene she was in, so damn hot. I wouldn't mind a few movie female Bond-ish spinoff about her character while they figure out what to do with Bond/007 I thought the black lesbian who was in the movie was going to be the new 007. |

I have been a huge Bond fan since I was a kid (anyone remember Bond week on TBS). I haven't
watched this one yet even though it has been free on Prime Video for months. Just can't get excited about it. I can't say that I have liked any of the Daniel Craig movies. They try to hard to be edgy resulting in convoluted crap storylines. |

There's no need to tie to the Craig series of movies the same way his don't tie back to Brosnan, Connery, etc. |

It will be the last Bond movie for me. Connery, Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnen and Craig were great. Moore was not my cup of tea.

I put it right in the middle of the Craig Bond films, from best to worst: Skyfall, Casino, NTTD, Quantum, Spectre.
I do find it troubling that they killed off the character. It was done to show that there's no more room in the world for straight, white, violent males who won't readily submit to the gynocracy of modern culture. I highly doubt the next Bond will have those attributes. |

I didn't have a problem with it.
Villain was dumb, but really they all have been for decades. End was appropriate. But wtf were all the random people scrubbing concrete supposed to be doing in the lair? |

Bond goes through a whole battery of tests showing him to be an alcoholic loose canon, and utterly unfit for field work. Then, he goes off the reservation, "kidnaps" M in an effort to save her. Okay, fine... as long as he actually saves her. But, he doesn't. She gets killed. Then, he comes back, and everyone's like, "Tough luck, James. Least you tried!" That's insane. They would have fucking buried him. He would have been blamed for M's death and been sent to prison... forever. The Bond of the movies sometimes played things fast and loose... but in the end, he always succeeded. He saved the day. M fucking died. That would have to have been pinned on someone. |
