If you want another actiony no-brainer that thinks it's more grown-up than it really is then this will do.

Rating: 6/10 (23 September 2019)

As expected we have everything we could want from this formula. It's explosive, stylish, sexy, machismo fun with a good bit of "past coming back" seriousness thrown in for good measure. Even if the girl in this one is sterile and hard to like.
The problem I have this movie is fundamental: it's redundant. Skyfall was the perfect Swan Song to the Craig era and now we have another one so it's hard to get excited about anything because I'm all a but "been there, done that" about the whole thing. I'll always love a no-brainer action movie, but the time to move on is now. Sure it can be cool to be gritty but there comes a point where you're just too serious to be taken seriously and a new vision of Bond more willing to laugh at itself AND have some serious substance is something we're long overdue and that ruined me really finding this movie more than a modestly satisfying experience.
Also, they tell you he goes rogue but it totally has no kind of build up or drama behind it, it just happens. I would have liked to see this disturbed icon of British Patriotism stand up again his bosses and lead the revolution for a moment but no.
