About your spoilers:
Spoiler!
The bottom line is that the writing in this franchise, from the books, to Dr. No, to No Time to Die, is complete shit. Some of the movies are fun enough that you can overlook the terrible writing and frequently poor direction, but most if the time you end up with crap. Casino Royale is the only genuinely good movie of the entire series, and even it has some issues. |
Point of Parliamentary Procedure, your honor -
Who was the woman from Casino Royale that died early on when Bond was in the Bahamas? Dimitros's (I think?) girlfriend, the brunette? That woman was/is (most likely still) a goddess. She should be on the list, even if she isn't technically a Bond girl. Eva Green, as well (imho, of course). |
RE: Quantum of Solace
Writers strike totally ****ed that one. They decided to push it out anyway and it was a shitshow. The writers get paid for a reason. |

Solange was the character in Casino Rayale, I believe. https://i.imgur.com/IGH9ZGE.jpg There area lot of hot Italian women in these movies. I saw Eva Greene on several Bond Girl lists, but I don't think she looks that hot. I think it's her makeup. She looked much better in the scenes where she wasn't wearing any. Quote:
That still wouldn't have fixed the movie's biggest issue: the way it was filmed. The constant camera cuts make it feel like you are trying to watch the movie while you're on a rollercoaster. The average shot length was 1.7 seconds. Frenetic camera movements can ramp up excitement in action sequences, but taken to extremes and the audience can't even tell what they're watching. And when the same technique is used in the slower parts of the film you just end up with an unwatchable mess. The makers of the new Star Trek series have the same problems. A scene with Picard getting a cup of tea features 5 cuts and a camera spinning around like it just came from an early 2000s Tony Scott movie. |

I was bored so I tinkered with that pic of Caterina Murino a bit:

I liked it but Rami Malek was not a very good villain IMO. It was an enjoyable film that I’ll watch again.
I still love Casino Royale and Skyfall the best out of this installment. |
Finally got around to this. Simply put, if you don't like this movie then you aren't a fan of the franchise. It's a fitting tribute.

It has kind of a throwback ending with the big bad in his huge island lair. Although, don’t think too deep into it. Like “why would all these minions work for him?” He must pay well? |

First and foremost, I'd eat Ana de Armas' ass. Ferociously.
Now that that's out of the way.. This is one you can't think too much about, but on the surface it's a quintessential Bond flick. If you didn't enjoy this one, I think you just don't like the James Bond franchise. It was a great send off for Daniel Craig, though I'd probably rank this one riiiight in the middle of the Craig Bonds. Casino Royale Skyfall No Time to Die Quantum of Solace Spectre Now that I think about it, NTtD and QoS are pretty interchangeable in my eyes. Spectre was really the only dud of Craig's, IMO. |
It sucked.
Craig's James Bond run generally sucked after Casino Royale. |

Casino Royals and Skyfall were good. The rest went downhill
