It's way too long (cold opening itself is about 25 mins), it's too emotional, it has too many quips and silly moment, and the director certainly enjoys Daniel Craig's bulge in close up as we get "treated" to it more than one time... Also the 'Arch Villain' is far from "arch" and not really scary enough, but the plan itself is quite interesting, although on reflection seems to be quite a neat and tidy way to end the story arc. Oh, and naughty M says the f-word Dame Judy would never... (she didn't, did she? lol...)

It has a few decent bits in it but it's all been downhill since the excellent Casino Royale hasn't it? I'm glad it's the end of the Craig era. I might watch Moonraker as a palette cleanser haha...

Dame Judi was the only person to say the f-word in Bond history. It happened in Skyfall.

Totally agree that it's been downhill all the way since Casino Royale.
