Whether you are looking at this as a 25(+) film legacy or just a 5 film arc, this one is a solid bow on Craig's arc with the character and maybe the character himself. None of the returning cast is phoning it in (ok much is actually on phones but no one lets Queen & Country down, the film's Big Bad ok ( R. M. always gives an interesting performance). It's Beautifully shot, definitely recommend catching it in IMAX! The movie's music has so many nods to the past, especially John Barry & IN HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, you hardly notice Hans Zimmer is at the musical reigns until the 3rd act ( particularly a John Wick corridor sustained scuffle). Ladies (& gents) will be happy to know DC spends a respectable amount of time with his shirt off, and oddly enough in suspenders, not at the same time... sorry ladies (& gents). The 2hr40+ running time, a record fir the franchise, isn't problematic, and we'll earned, although it may have the longest cold opening of any BOND as well. I'm definitely recommending get out, get your vaccine and catch this while it's in the theaters. Always support your local theaters, now more than ever, but show JB some love.
