Loved the trailer; underdelivered in comparison

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2020)

The trailer in the movie theater was absolutely delightful. I could not wait to see this film because of it. Unfortunately, I found the chemistry between the characters to be a bit empty and superficial. It's difficult to achieve depth of character with such a large cast, but regardless, they could have focused much more on character development and interaction. For one, Daniel Craig's accent really threw me off and just personally didn't like it much. His character development seemed strange to me, as if he were conveying being a little bit dumb and highly intelligent at the same time, which doesn't correspond well with his big Sherlock-style reveal at the end. I did find some things funny and was mildly entertained, but not nearly as intrigued or engaged as the trailer made me believe I would be. 7/10 for the general story, entertainment, some acting, but heavily lacking in making each character not feel so one-dimensional, in my opinion.
