The new Bond movie sucks! Don't waste your time and money watching it.

I was a teenager when 007 came out, Never heard of Bond if there were any episodes before that.

Never watch the entire movie and never seriously considered watching one again. Some people are nuts about it always have been, Different strokes, I guess.

I wouldn't go see it a second time unless Ms. Klishina was my hot date and insisted we go see it

I agree. The movie was boring. Not enough usual banter/humor with enemies. Daniel Craig never looked or acted like a true James Bond although Casino Royale was a good movie.

Casino Royale was good. Just watched the trailer to make sure I had the right one in mind. Think i'll rent it and watch it again and skip this new one.

agree, I fell asleep.

Way too unbelievable action, Bond would never be around little kids, Bond would never beg on his knees. Movie sucked.

It was pretty great. It wasn't the best, but still a great ending to Craig's Bond legacy.

Nice movie 7.8/10.

Good plot but not so much action as other Bond movies ...

Connery's death meant the part was played. Played out.

A dashing super spy can only have so many crazy adventures before the shark passes below.

This latest film is actually pretty good and Craig has played the part better than anyone but Connery.

You are missing the point, in the same way a star wars fan misses the point if they think episodes 7 through 9 were pretty good.

The point is that the story is done. A spy can't just keep saving the world, beating impossible odds and escaping certain death too many dozens of times.

It's not that it's unrealistic, or harder to suspend disbelief. Rather the whole concept of cheating certain death, saving the world, etc is cheapened by repetition. Like salt losing its savor. The thrill is gone.

Go ahead and complain that you don't understand this, like that makes anyone but you look dumb.

Thanks!

What has made the Bond films last so long and incredibly rewatchable has nothing to do with the saving the world, beating impossible odds, and escaping certain death plot elements. Yes, that occurs in the Bond movies, but are generally a small part of the overall experience (that part MIGHT appeal to kids who haven't seen a Bond film though). What makes the Bond films interesting to continue is everything that leads up the climax, the espionage, Bond investigating using his wits, and sometimes some amazing action. What makes the Bond films entertaining has little to do with the suspense of the world being destroyed. What makes the Bond films entertaining is how Bond goes about his mission, carries himself, and navigates his world.

Goldfinger isn't entertaining because Bond stops Goldfinger from blowing up Fort Knox. No, Goldfinger is entertaining due to the pre-title sequence, how he cheats Goldfinger out of Gold in golf, Bond's reactions and dialogue with other characters, his I'm better than everyone attitude. Bond stopping the bomb exploding takes about 5 minutes at the end, but has nothing to do with what makes Goldfinger an entertaining movie.

Goldeney isn't entertraining because of some plot from ex-006 about destroying the worlds computer systems. No, Goldeneye is entertaining because Bond destroys St. Petersburgh with a tank, bungie jumps off a dam, skydives to a plane, his dialogue and "foreplay" with xenia, tries to seduce his psychologist, Coltrane's character, etc. Yeah the villain plot was not so different that 10 previous Bond movies, but that plot or any suspense that it might succeed isn't what makes Goldeneye fun to watch.

I agree, if you are watching Bond movies for the villains plot and for the suspense of if they will succeed, then continual Bond movies will do nothing for you. If you watch it for all the other elements (which most do), then Bond can be and IS successfully endless
