Disappointed.
More slow emotional stuff, sounds like they tried to copy skyfall in a way, I don't know. Not a fan, but very representative of Craig's Bond movies.
Jaded and sad, with pretty much no joy or bright spots and very meh at best.

I do and I will continue to do so, but I will give them credit on one thing, they don't suck the life outta me when Im forced to sit through one.
So much of cinema has this muted look to it and tries to be edgy anymore, cant do it. Skyfall was ok, but it wasn't that good. Last James Bond movie I really liked was The World is Not Enough, and that thing is what, over 20 years old now?

bullshite. Casino Royale was fantastic, even if it was a remake.

Not a fan of it. Wasn't when I saw it in the theater, and on multiple re-watches I still don't like it.
Sure theres some good action parts, parkour chase, the airport bombing chase being the big ones I think of but I still did not like it.
Bond is rebooted (for some reason) so we get not Bond. When asked if he wants his martini shaken or stirred he says "do I look like i give a damn" which comes off as edgey and also as though the filmmakers are trying to say "BOND TROPE SUBVERTED OLD BOND BAD"
And the villain is a complete tool. Dude cant even defend his girl friend and then Bond has to handle the African terrorists who nearly kill him because hes such a wuss. And yet Im supposed to think hes a scary villain? Give me over the top villain with private island and death ray any day over half blind twat with an inhaler.
Shaky cam is of course added because for some reason we cant have normal fight scenes anymore
Also for a movie claiming to tred so close to the book it fails. After Vespar betrays Bond, Bond is not mournful over her, he's angry she got a bunch of people killed. And yet at the end of the movie, and in Quantam, he's just sad.
Also brings me to more trope subversions: Bond fails to save the girl and kill the bad guy
Someone else kills the bad guy (who is very much portrayed as a spineless coward) while Bond is stuck tied to a chair
Then his gf offs herself and he cant save her because "OMG I MADE A DEAL WITH THEM"
I don't blame Craig, I think he does well with what hes given, Im just not a fan of the "new spin". I'll take tropes over this post modern BS any day. Tropes become tropes because its what a series/genre is known for and it is what I want. If I want something different I wont go and see a Bond film, I'll see somethin else

Song is way too slow for a Bond theme song.
Not a fan of her quivering voice.

That’s another Sturgill Simpson lyric:
“Sometimes Sirens send a ship off course
Horizon gets so hazy
Maybe get high, play a little GoldenEye
On that old sixtyfour”

No I like what the series is based on. Ya know, bond is smooth, beats the bad guy, gets the girl, pounds down martinis like water, has insane gadgets etc.
Those aren't Brosnan hallmarks, those are Bond in general hallmarks
Craig bind tries to avoid these tropes and it suffers for it as being less bond

Everything is a sturgill Simpson lyric, except sisters marrying yuppies
Getting permission to play Goldeneye as a kid was a pain. Mom didn't want me and muh siblings to play because we would fight anytime one of us got shot
