Saw the movie today with my wife.
I can say that I have seen all 25 of the films over many, many decades. To me the Ian Fleming stories were the real Bond stories and Sean Connery was the best James Bond.Having said that this is Daniel Craig's 4 film in the starring role and I can honestly say he is terrific in the role. Too bad he hated doing it
As always their trailers to the movie are enticing and the theme song in a Bond movie is almost always nominated for the Oscar and Billie Eilish was very good
Having said that this film is almost 3 hours in length and I didn't find myself checking my watch. There is a reason for the movie to be this long as it tends to tie together many of the stories told in the previous 3 Daniel Craig movies two I give a thumb's up for that but the story was adequate but not great.
I also always look forward to the opening scene of the James Bond movies as they often are the best part of the movie even though they have nothing to do with the movie. Case in point was the opening of Casino Royale which I feel to this day has been the best. Well the motor cycle stunts at the opening were pretty serious stuff and well filmed.
There are the typical silly inventions by Q given to Bond who always finds a way to use them to gain his freedom or save his life and this film is no different

Synopsis
Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
How this story ties the others together is really well written and I won't give anything away
If you are a James Bond fan this is definitely two thumbs way upland is a must see and the length of the film IMO was worth it al in the end
