He's Scouse, He's Sound.
Saw this tonight. It's a mixed bag for me. Some of the action was really fun and it had a few set pieces that were classic "Bond does some ridiculously suicidal poo poo but it looks cool" without it being a farce. I think the tone was just right and it felt more like a Bond movie than any of the other Craig ones.

It's way longer than it should be though. It really started to drag towards the end and I could feel people in the audience getting a little impatient.

The ending was a mess. I only read about the Sony leak thing catching up with this thread tonight but boy could you feel it. It felt almost...BBC1-ish at times. And how many countdowns do you want? All this stuff just happens so fast in a movie that is already overstaying its welcome.

I felt it relied on M and Moneypenny a bit too much. The whole surveillance part of the plot was a bit too on the nose without every making any kind of statement on the issue. The movie says it's bad but there is never really a discussion about the moral implications. It's bad because MI6 get poo poo done.

The last two movies have featured M a lot. How about doing a Bond movie where he goes after some guys who have nothing to do with his backstory?.
