my notes

Rating: 5/10 (26 June 2019)

I almost gave it a 3 star rating, but I just felt unsatisfied during and after the movie. And it's not like I overhyped it, I wasn't even that excited for it, knowing that I didn't like the previous Daniel Craig Bond movies that much. I also watched the 3 previous ones before watching this one. There was a good amount of connections to the previous movies but I didn't feel like that really added anything to the experience. the action was good as usual, with some BEASTLY fight scenes. The acting and directing were good. But the story was forgettable, as was the villain. It dragged at times. And there were a few scenes I didn't like (1 viewing)

SPOILERS

like before he reached the villain and he saw the faces of all the people he was responsible for that had died, when pictures of their faces were taped to target practice posters at a gun range. Like really? The villain would go through all that to show Bond all the people he let down? I know the villain wanted to hurt him, both physically and psychologically, but that just seems unrealistic
