1/10
Ruined by PC and bad casting, with D. Craig no exception.
18 February 2024
First of all, I never could stomach Daniel Craig as James Bond. Craig (to me) is not attractive, has absolutely no charisma, sex appeal or sense of humor like most of his Bond predecessors and his Alfred E. Newman ears rival those of Clark Gable's.

And when did Moneypenny become black??! (I'll admit I have only watched one or two of Craig's previous Bond portrayals with Judith Dench, whom I adore.)

Also, does the late great Bernie Mac have a sister who plays the "new" 007? She has even LESS charisma than Craig. These inexplicable entries are almost as ridiculous as making Alexander Hamilton a black historical figure.

This so-called "political correctness" and wokeness in casting has ruined what used to be an exciting and timeless franchise. No more and good riddance - you will not be missed by me and from many other negative reviews on this site, I'm not in the minority. I'll just go back and enjoy rewatching the earlier Ian Fleming entries with Sean Connery (still my favorite), George Lazenby and Pierce Brosnan.

Finally, the actor who previously portrayed Freddy Mercury was the creepiest, ugliest villain to enter Bond's world. The character of Madeleine handing over her daughter to him almost made me sick to my stomach. How that child did not become traumatized during filming would make anyone ponder.

If you cannot tell by my previous comments, I despised this movie. At one point in the movie, and I don't remember who said it, "no sense of humor" was referenced and this concludes my feelings towards Craig's Bond portrayal and this unexciting, convoluted, monotonous film.

THE END. (I hope)
