I appreciate your review of the film. It fills its part as the penultimate entry in the Daniel Craig series. It also serves as a callback to SPECTRE in the earlier Bond films with the reveal that Christoph Waltz's character is actually Blofeld, Bond's arch nemesis from the early films. The cat was also a callback to the early films. Speaking of symmetry, this film serves to link not only the classic Bond films with the new ones, but also link all of Craig's installments into an overarching arc. Now the curtain has been pulled back. The hall is rented, the orchestra engaged. It's time to see if Bond can dance... next in No Time to Die.

I love also that you're able to put into words thoughts and feelings I've only been aware of in the periphery and unable to articulate myself. Yeah, some things were rushed. Some things were half-baked. Could it have benefited from more runtime? Maybe more movies, since unlike previous incarnations of Bond this is a cohesive universe with storylines all intertwined and leading to the same end goal? I don't know... But you're right that this one felt disappointing in some ways. Trying to do too many things in too short a time. I do really really like No Time to Die, though. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the entire saga at the end of that.

2025-04-11 21:39:59 +0000 UTCOne very cool thing I learned about this movie is that the opening scene with the Dia de los Muertos parade actually inspired contemporary celebrations. Prior to the movie coming out, parades weren't a thing. It was a much more subdued and private, familial holiday. But afterwards I guess they thought it was rather cool and adopted it.

2025-04-11 17:20:50 +0000 UTCDon't you dare apologize for nerding out over a DP flexing in a movie. Half the reason why I joined your community was because of your knowledge and willingness to share the knowledge of how movies and TV shows are produced. I always love combining great cinema and learning new things. <3
