Last Film You Saw

Yeah; it wasn't as "polished" an effort as Skyfall. Plus, Rami Malek wasn't a convincing bad guy.

Yeah not sure about Rami, sometimes he's really good but other times it seems he overacts. I think this one is the latter, and it just doesn't add anything to the character. But IMO it doesn't help with an average script and scenes that are cut poorly as well.

Top Gun Maverick (again) in 4DX the sort of film this was made for 8.5/10

I have never experienced this 4DX you speak of, is it a lot better than a standard 2D film?

I wouldn't go as far as "really good". Nor as far as "shite". It was okay, no more than that. Not the best Craig effort, not by some distance. 6.5/10 (9/10 for the ending).

9/10 ending? What!!!!

:-)

Wasn't Maleks fault in fairness underused character with dubious reasoning. Same as Christoph Waltz really but even thinner character development.

They just decided to give them James Bond baddie scars instead.

The gun fight scenes and the ridiculous plot leading to the finale was totally useless really. Shame as Craig was an excellent Bond.

The build-up for Waltz as Blofeld in the previous film worked well, but it was a strange choice to just bin him completely. I guess it would have been a long time from Spectre to whenever another is, but it seemed part of a pre-set plan to 'end things' - Blofeld, Bond, someone else as 007. It all just felt heavyhanded.

I agree that Malek wasn't really convincing with whatever caused him to go postal, but I thought he looked too young (and got argued at here about it!). Bond films are almost always about the villain, and the strange whispered performance just made me think of a poor imitation of Bardem's grotesque.

You have your very own midget stationed under your seat. Sucks you off every 20 minutes and keeps your popcorn and drink topped up. Well worth the extra fiver in my opinion.

Is it an extra 2 quid on top for a female midget?

Waltz was excellent in Spectre, same with Bardem in Skyfall.

Seeing as Craig was determined not to carry on in the role, killing him off seemed to be the way to go. Unless they had him riding off into the sunset, leaving the option for him to return left open. The very final scene, with Madeleine driving the Aston Martin, with the little girl with her, was a bit over-schmaltzy, granted. And having another actor taking over as Bond (not 007, Bond) wouldn't work for me.
