I thought this looked kinda dull in the trailers, compared to Spectre (I'm a fan) & Skyfall (best of the Craigs) anyway. 

 

Looking forward to Ana though.

Have not seen Spectre yet but Writing on the Wall was a pretty terrible song. Even worse than Die Another Day (which at least made me laugh a lot).

he absolutely panned it. I’ll still enjoy, I’m sure, as 2 out of my top 3 Bond films are Skyfall, Majesty Secret Service and Casino Royale.

The Gleiberman Variety review and Ehrlich's Indiewire review have me excited. The emotional and sentimental element of the finale REALLY seemed to work for them. I have a feeling it's going to work for me too. Gleiberman put it in a really nice way in his review

 

That revuew does have some slight spoilers to maybe proceed with caution. Ehrlichs is good to go tho

 

Ehrlich's B score is particularly impressive because he HATED Spectre

A little bit more mixed than I expected, but still sounds like a blast!

I did a double take at this. 
 

So like does that mean it’s all about James Bond and his mother issues? Or that it’s darkly funny? @ViewerAnon help a girl out?

I’ve never seen Archer

Reviews are about as good as could be expected after those god-awful trailers. Reading some of them it sounds like my two concerns (serialization and bloated runtime) were warranted, but I also think that if any Bond movie is critic-proof it'll be this one. People decided long before reviews whether they were going to go out and see it.

Maybe not god-awful, but they really were not anything to write home about.

 

Rami Malek's villain has been looking unbelievably lackluster. And it's hard not to feel what a wasted opportunity when there were rumors that Angelina Jolie or Helena Bonham Carter were set to be the main villains.

Craig era had great villains in Mads and Javier, sadly the last two movies don't. They showed Malek's clip from NTTD in the Graham Norton show, and I was like this guy is the baddie for the finale?? Even some of the glowing reviews talk about how meh he is in the role..

Yep lot of rumors for this movie around 2017-2018 sounded interesting. Angelina Jolie would have killed it!

I do not remotely find Ehrlich’s review impressive. Spectre is not a good movie lol. Not a high bar to clear 

[Ozymandias]

Spectre is mostly fine, I don't get why that movie triggered a lot of people.  Obviously its not another taut classic like Casino Royale and Skyfall, it stumbles a bit in the third act with the villain and its unnecessary attempt to link all the movies together like some MCU, but its a beautifully shot movie with good set pieces and character moments.  I also liked Lea Seydoux(who is apparently a lot better in NTTD).  Its one of those movies where one more pass over the screenplay could've made it really great - unlike Quantum of Solace which was a complete mess from conception and poorly shot/edited.  Mark Kermode's review nailed it.

I think the whole discussion on who will be next Bond is bit insulting. Let the film release atleast and let Craig have that final send off limelight.

 

That said. I think Pattinson should be next one.

Am not really big on English music but I think NTTD song by Elish was quite good.

Early reactions are good but I was expecting "best of the decade, a perfect and amazing sendoff" tweets given this was supposed to have Oscar hype and all that. Should still be alot better than Spectre. Guess this post is pointless given we will see in seven minutes.

What's wrong with 90%? This ain't Marvel, 90% means more for these movies 

[Saul Goodman]

If anything, critics are more lenient towards this franchise now than they were during Brosnan's run. I wasn't expecting Casino Royale/Skyfall type reviews from NTTD as it is a follow up to Spectre which ended the way it did.

The "best movie ever" reactions is not a thing anymore for quite some time, idk why some people still expect this kind of tweets every time a big movie is screened.

 

Not even Marvel movies have this type of generalized overreactions anymore.

 

Reviews should drop anytime now, i think the embargo is for everyone so probably US reviews will come out, not only UK.

James Bond audiences are more matured than say, MCU's audience so their reactions are more tame and realistic than the burst of excitement a teenager gets seeing a Comic Book Movie.

Really? Bronson had some terrible movies though but when a Bond movie gets 90% +, it becomes one of the greatest movies of the decade whereas an MCU gets 90% for simply not doing anything wrong. They gave Homecoming the same reviews as Skyfall. Ragnarok has a similar score to Casino Royale. Bond doesn't have it super easy with critics as it needs to make a masterpiece to keep score with cookie cutter franchises

Nah it's a big topic, nothing wrong with discussing it and Craig doesn't mind. And sorry sir, but Robert Pattison would be a fucking terrible choice

 

Henry Cavil would have given us a smooth James Bond but he's too famous

What numbers worldwide are you guys expecting when it finishes it’s theatrical run?
