Enjoy!
Did anyone miss parts of the film going to the toilet? I only just made it to the end of SP by taking small sips of a large cola.
I try not to drink during films at the cinema for that very reason! Especially for those pushing the three hour mark.
However, for my second viewing, I decided to enjoy myself and that included a beer. I opted to use Q's home visit for a quick rest stop despite enjoying that scene. It was tough to decide which part I wanted to miss!
My plan was: have the necessary special bevvy before the film, pop into the washroom just before going into the theatre, and no drinks in the theatre (I usually do have something in the theatre).
:))
I was munching on the Joe & Seph 007 martini popcorn 🍿
I had to buy myself a giant, overpriced, lukewarm bottle of water for that reason alone.
@SomethingThatAteHim, I hope you love it!
This seems to be a recurring criticism for those who don't like it.
I'm generally not a 3D fan, but my local cinema is offering it in 3D so I might make that my next showing just for fun.
It makes sense, it stops being a propulsive, fun James Bond movie in the classic mold after that sequence and becomes a dour mess of garbled exposition and half-cocked emotional sequences instead. The third act rights things somewhat, but is very hamstrung by a script that was clearly run through a blender and then pieced back together, and an over reliance on overly-precious melodrama (when this is supposed to be a finale to a Bond film that was celebrated for how un-precious it was!)
This is how I felt watching the film both times as well.
Too many characters is my main issue with the film. I wrote a comment about it earlier on one of these threads. But in that sense the issue is that the film moves too fast. I am honestly a bit stunned when people say the movie moves too slowly or is boring. :-/ But sense of entertainment is subjective, obviously...
Bond, a couple of Bond girls, the MI6 crew, the Villain, his or her henchmen, some scientist type, a traitor. I don’t see a problem here.

...the greatest Bond film ever made.
Been listening to the soundtrack on YouTube. The action cues are okay but aren’t anything to write home about but then most of them haven’t been since The Living Daylights when Barry bailed. The slower bits are nice but, and even though I thought I was probably be getting my hopes up about this, I was a bit disappointed to not hear a reference to the Living Daylights since Bond uses the Vantage. A brief instrumental snippet of TLD theme song or ‘Where Has Everybody Gone’ would have been nice seeing there are other nods in the score. The Living Daylights has always been a special film to me. I love the score, the Vantage, the Cold War atmosphere and Dalton.
