I thought it was OK... Bond films are always silly, and what action blockbuster isn't these days? Javier Bardem never really got going, he was far more menacing in No Country For Old Men and had a far sillier haircut.
To tick all those Bond boxes and still have a generally coherent film was no mean feat. There was almost too much self-aware referencing of old movies and Bond clichés – and all that unnecessary bumf about his parents – some might call it a reboot but I reckon they should leave it there.
I mean is a totally straight, emotionally vulnerable, mechanical gadget-less Bond who doesn't drive a tricked out classic British sports car really Bond any more?
- Not the Bond that we knew, which is what I liked about the last 2. It was change at the right time.CygnusZero4
- Now we're going back to the goofiness of the 80s and 90s. Way too soon for that.CygnusZero4
