It's definitely worth seeing in IMAX
Jamaica and Italia scenes are something to behold, I kept whispering to my BF we have to go there. My goodness I wish Spectre embraced Rome like this movie did, AH another place I dream to visit some day!!!
There'd be ALOT more kick if there was live ammo, but you use proper technique, stance, and lean to compensate for it.
All of the recoil can be properly accounted for by technique.
You don't need to be a big burly strong guy to fire an AR or most modern rifles.
STEPhon IT @ 100 lbs can do it properly if she used the right stance, technique, and leans forward appropriately while jamming the butt of the rifle into her shoulder and aiming properly with both hands.
Hollywood isn't a good teacher for proper FireArms handling, operation, or safe behavior with FireArms in general.
Did anybody notice all of the F Bombs in the movie?
I gave the movie a 6. The first half was much better than the second half, and I really wanted to see more Paloma. She and Bond had amazing chemistry (She kind of reminded me of Morena Baccarin) and the Cuba scene was probably the best scene in the movie. Now I have questions which probably have already been answered but this was my feeling leaving the theater.
So how are they going to bring back James Bond. None of the other Bonds were actually killed so when the "James Bond will Return" tagline came on, I was like How?
Il y en a pour qui la lecture est toute une corvée. Jamais dis que Craig actais comme un robot, mais bien que Bond, sa personalité étais devenu émotionellement comme celle d'un robot. En passant, tellement triste ce petit jeu de nommer/pas nommer à qui tu t'adresses...

Bond 26 will likely reboot. I doubt we’ll get an origin story.
I'm glad I don't watch Hollywood movies for that reason then.
You know, Casino Royale wasn't that much of an origin story. He was already a double 0 agent after the opening credits. We still don't know much about his past before that. I think there is a lot to be explored there.
Unfortunately, too many other impressionable people do and adopt dumb behavior from those movies.
Codenames are bullshit. The theory I'd understood since I first saw Dr.No were there's no continuity of the James Bond series except for Daniel Craig's 1 story which was forced horribly into 5 movies. Meaning Connery played OO7 for 6 movies but his Bond he played in Dr. No was not the same Bond from From Russia with Love. Look at it like an on going play where the cast were interchangable replacing the former.
Only if it helps support the plot of the story told. What was done with Daniel Craig's run was as confusing and depressing as his version of James Bond. No wonder that Bond was so depressed and felt being James Bond sucked. Can't blame that Emo-Bond for quitting in every movie but a yearning to return to something that actually appeared like an MI6 who knows WTF they're doing??? This Bond was not in the best hands of competent personnel in the British Secret Service. Throwing sh*t at the wall and hoping it'll stick is not the best way of defending UK or the World, something the Purvis and Wade stories were glued to.
YES. The entire run of the Daniel Craig eras MI6.
Actually, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE was the closest there was to a direct sequel in the Connery films as Kronsteen cites the killing of Dr. No as an opportunity for SPECTRE to revenge against Bond. It also featured Sylvia Trench carrying over from the last one, making her one of the only two women (Madeleine Swann being the other) of appearing in more than one film. Even in GOLDFINGER when Bond and Felix meet up in Miami, Bond makes a reference to their mission in Jamaica in DR. NO. After that, most films have been standalone with only an occasional reference to last films but only ever occasional.
No need to reboot, just have an evil bastard who wants to harm the world and have James Bond assigned to eliminate the problem. I don't mind Craig's movies being its own thing, he wasn't the quintessential Bond anyway; he was more like the ugly duckling of the franchise, what went right for other Bond characters just... didn't happen for him.
TMWTGG brought back Pepper from LALD, Moonraker brought back Jaws from TSWLM. General Gogol, played by Walter Gotell appears in Moore’s last 5 films. The Brosnan films brought back Robbie Coltrane. They may not specifically have referenced events from other films, but, to me anyway, there was a sense of some continuity between those films.
James Bond movies doesn't require continuity to have a compelling story to tell.
No films do. But it still irks me that you’ve got 3 consecutive films in which Blofeld is played by 3 different actors, in entirely different manners, that in OHMSS he doesn’t recognise Bond, despite meeting him in YOLT, and, above all, that the final events of OHMSS aren’t referenced in DAF.
It also annoys me a bit that in LTK, which plays on the personal rapport between Bond and Felix, the latter is not played by the same actor who played the part in TLD; John Terry and Dalton looked like contemporaries and you could imagine them mirroring each other’s rises in MI6 and the CIA. Whereas David Hedison, who plays Felix in LTK (having previously played him in LALD) looks more like he could be Bond’s dad or uncle. Seemed like a wasted opportunity.
Yeah, it reminds me of the DC Universes suspension of disbelief where Clark Kent and Diana Prince can simply take off their glasses and KA-POW no one in that world recognizes them. Don't make it annoy you, because it is what it is and the most fun part of it is you love James Bond and his awesome adventures. It's interesting how certain directors appeared to be fans of the novels and when they had a chance to helm a Bond picture they just ignored what wasn't relevant and dived right into the story. Peter Hunt was one of those helmers.
Also, may I add, I thought Telly Savalas was IMO the best Blofeld I'd ever seen. The other actors' incarnations were ass-clowns, hamming it up.

Yeah, I can accept that too; despite those gripes, OHMSS is my favourite of them
Not sure if this new movie deserved one, but I thought borrowing from OHMSS's theme song was a betrayal to what Billie Eilish delivered, and should've found it's own message than being lazy, stealing from such a great and moving movie like Lazenby's only outing. Seems like the owners of James Bond can't help themselves being trend chasers.
