not for everyone!

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2020)

While this movie was beautifully done & "perfect" in many ways, it's not for everyone! if you are expecting suave & swaggering 007 to save the day from evil forces with one of Q's fancy gadgets, all while saving the beautiful girl, you may be disappointed. it was very dry, moving slowly & methodically with nothing flashy to impress pop culture consumers. much like a tedious detailed espionage novel. the style, setting and fashions seem very accurate, with nerdy duty bound characters, which all contribute to the dryness of the film. while many were walkng out of the theater after an hour, i remarked to my companions "they couldn't take it anymore!" which caused eruptions of muted laughter among my companions. we held on to the end, which fulfilled it's cold-war objective. we survived it, and laughed about it later, how we expected to be entertained, but were given a glimpse of dry plodding methodical british intelligence instead.
