    Was anyone slightly disappointed with Nomi? Only weak point in film for me.

    Venom’s advantage is that it’s only 90 minutes compared to Bond’s 163 min runtime.

    The film is looking to bring in $60 million domestic for opening weekend:

    There was a lot more wrong with the movie than just Nomi.

    How many times can you repeat the same point, @jetsetwilly? We get it, you don’t need to spam every thread with how much this movie personally insulted you.

    Likewise, there are many that are repeating they loved the movie, although I haven't seen you call them out.... ;)

    And yet, you feel the need to cast your net to every thread to stomp on that enthusiasm. You’re not beholden to like NTTD, it’s just disappointing how eager you are to try and rain on everyone else’s parade. There’s a more constructive way to go about what you’re doing, but less fun I suppose than acting the bully.

    I guess I'm still too annoyed by what they have done to the franchise, and I still need to vent my anger some place. I've been a member here since 2005, so feel I can do this on the forum. I haven't felt this pissed off with a Bond film since DAD.

    If it is upsetting for anyone to read these posts, then apologies.

    Seriously, most of those who have criticisms of the film have been far less personal than a lot of the pro-NTTD, who have made a lot of remarks designed to dissuade people who have issues with it from posting. I've found it rather hostile.

    Yeah right. And he had the nerve to call me the bully. :))

    Admittedly this guy is somewhat obnoxious and obviously not a Bond fan but I agree with a great deal of what he has to say.

    Here is Graham Rye's review, which is spot on. Not sure if it has already been posted -

    Guess he isn't a fan...

    I rank NTTD pretty poorly, but that reviews comment:
    The shadow of Jason Bourne hangs over every action sequence here, and frustratingly No Time To Die fails to provide any action set-pieces or fight scenes that really get the pulse racing.

    Does just feel like taking pot-shots at everything, just because they didn't like something else. He boils it down to 'looks nice, otherwise terrible' and even I wouldn't stretch my dislike for the film that far. And I only rank DAD below NTTD.

    Yes, the one plus point for me was the action, which I thought was some of the best we've seen in a Bond film, regardless of its many faults.

    Ranking NTDD just above DAD. Wow! That is pretty low. X_X

    Completely disagree. I actually met Graham Rye once at after premier event. He is a bit of a miserable so and so.

    Probably not too dissimilar to me then.... :))

    60Million domestic opening? Yikes! Hopefully this is a sign of having good legs as opposed to being ridiculously front loaded

    Bond usually has 2 strong opening weekends so I'm hoping it legs out. Unless it's a MARVEL movie (which loses 2/3 of it's clout by the following weekend as Venom 2 is doing), all movies are still in pandemic flux. Bond should still be at the top next weekend and if it legs out like Casino Royale did, it should still do ok in the US.

    No comment about the idiot who goes on youtube heehawing like a jackass about the film....that's how some of them try to get noticed.

    I've seen the film 3 times and over the weekend will go through most of the comments of the last week.

    Sight unseen, I will say from the start there's an obvious difference between repeated positive versus repeated negative comments. Or as put above: venting anger. They're not not the same level of civility and public discourse. The analogy I use is: you don't go to a good restaurant and keep repeating a dislike for a selection on the menu. Any point can be made to express a view, that's normally welcomed. But chronically complaining gets into behavior and disruption, especially when the subject is the latest Bond film during its release.

    It's not about civil rights and free expression and being entitled to speak one's mind. More empathy and respect for folks that simply like the film.

    Hey willy, I know you've been here since Craig was breastfeeding so yeah, I don't mind if you vent. I'm just feeling the opposite....Craig's Bond was always in a different continuity...I'm glad they shook up the formula. There were tears on my face so it impacted me, just not negatively.

    Personally I hold Dan Craig's tenure as the strongest of the series, QOS included. It certainly contains the best acting imo but I appreciate others will disagree.

    I don’t know how this may factor into this weekend’s totals, but Monday, October 11th is a holiday for many of us in the US (Columbus Day). Some people may decide to skip Friday-Sunday and see it then instead.

    Holiday for us Canadians as well (our Thanksgiving), so that could give Monday overall a boost.

    Speaking for my local cinema, the showings are quite packed overall even with Ontario's vaccine requirement, so the film does indeed seem to be holding its own.

    It's also noteworthy that those reporting on the US box-office are not rubbishing Bond's performance and are putting it on par with the last MI and Bourne movies which did not have pandemic complications.

    Don't despair just yet.

    Are people seriously worried about Americans going to see this film? Why? And I mean do NOT please do not put serious spoilers in reply or even in spoiler tags; please don't. Can you explain it a little to me in general terms without any spoilers? I'd appreciate it.

    Are we concerned that the box office will not be enough to help the next Bond film?
    I am not worried; just wondering why specifically some people are very anxious. I would only worry if it would strongly negatively affect the next film being made. I do not think there is any chance of that.
