POSITIVES…
It absolutely has the espionage intrigue, cheeky humor, cool vehicles, big action-adventure set pieces, and save the world thrills that you expect and want from a James Bond movie.
Daniel Craig really gives it his all as Bond in this, and handedly carries this movie. Which is good since this is the last film in his tenure as the iconic character.
I know this half a century long franchise has shown us lots of fun entertaining chase sequences before, but this installment in particular really does have some fun entertaining chase sequences that I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
For a film that’s 163 minutes long, I really did not want it to end. I thought it was never boring, it has an engaging story, and the drama among the characters is quite compelling.
Ana de Armas as Paloma! She is stunningly fantastic in her role.
NEGATIVES…
Specific story details aside, it’s pretty much your familiar plot about saving the world from this evil conniving villain.
There are several plot turns and reveals that might upset some people. You can take your pick as to which one/s will be triggering.
It’s understandable that this is primarily a Daniel Craig James Bond movie, but I feel like it allowed him to completely overshadow the characters played by Lashana Lynch, Léa Seydoux, and Rami Malek, who all technically have significantly important featured roles in this story.
I really wanted more of Ana de Armas as Paloma! Hey Amazon, create a Prime Video series on her character.
Product placements! I know we expect to see them, but still…
