Rewatch. Been ~2-3 years since I last watched it since there's such a serious lack of good sci-fi mystery movies. This one is just okay, nothing to write home about though. It was def. better the first time I watched it.
A few quality shots by Fukuman and a couple of engaging action scenes couldn't redeem the whole minestrone of poor writing, subpar characters and "intrigues" carried from their previous stories. Fragile's tears were expected as well so there wasn't even an element of surprise to it.
It's practically a decade-long tradition for Craig, as he peaked with the good ol' Casino Royale and then just remained anchored to the spot marked by the meh sign (Bond's favourite ). I would be tempted to say that this is an opportunity to improve the franchise, but the sensation is that the next cycle of movies is going to make me look back and miss when things were still mediocre.
After 25 min I was so bored that I started hitting the "skip 5/10 seconds" key and didn't stop until the end. Everyone was a complete charisma black hole, pretty amazing

Shawn Shei and the legend of the 10 BMW's: 5/10. Appaling music and Kate has the voice of a cheese grater. The rest of the cast could barely hold the few decent scenes together.

The Japan guy (Hiroyuki Sanada) is pretty cool. They should have focused on him, rather than the talentless young hacks.

Thanks, never heard of this - downloading now
If you like this kind of stuff you should definitely check out Coherence from 2013. It's a lot better and more fucked up.
Amazing start, unfortunately movie goes away from Musical and by midpoint transforms into utter shite Scream-but-with-ghosts like borefest. Whole hour of constant running and screaming

Watched Parallel - really enjoyed it, kept me interested all the way through. Gets an extra half point from me for having Tyrell from Mr Robot. With a 5.8 on IMDB I would not have watched this without the recommendation.
Will give Coherence a blast soon - downloaded years ago just never got round to watching.
No time to die - 6/10
Went for it with no expectation and it end up somehow enjoyable. Still very uneven movie - one one side tried to be straight on the other it vibed the over the top of original bonds in the end going nowhere.
And in this vein I didn't know if the over the top acting of the villains was on purpose or just bad acting while most things were tense and serious.
Cast a deadly spell - 5/10
It was cool concept but somehow the movie wasn't as engaging as I was expecting.

No Time To Die: 7/10, i was surprised a billion dollars was invested in this movie as I thought interest in Bond had waned. It had a lot of shortcomings, I couldn't buy the family-centric themes of the final 30 mins, and I didn't feel Rami Malek was that strong either but by no fault of the actor. All and all i did enjoy it though, the cinematography and celebration of all things British was very enjoyable.

...hmm. Nope, nothing.
