No Time to Die (Cary Joji Fukunaga)

Can we agree that the highlight is Paloma??

But yeah, getting into the personal life of Bond is unwanted and lame. Keep the espionage, neat inventions (that jet was cool), and get a little more creative with the action sequences. Fukunaga gets to try out a few moments with extended shots, but this was kind of disappointing. I don't want it to be Fast & Furious outrageous, but like Casino Royale which had top tier everything. Good villain, good mix of action/espionage/story, and also a good "Bond girl."

I don't know if I'd buy Lashana Lynch as the next "Bond."

I mean the marketing made for a good news cycle back then, but it's clear from the actual film that this isn't the case? Why else would they insert a scene of her giving the 007 code back to Bond that has no consequence on the overall story, apart from stressing her thematic function as flesh blood to contrast with his potential obsolescence (Craig's Bond arc for the past three films), and having him finally accept it back in full just in time for his final mission.
