No time to die.
Is a Bond movie. It ticks every box in the formula.
At 2h 46m it is a pain in the arse, literally. Numb bum syndrome was kicking in about 90 minutes.
The opening sequence (formula tick) is different yet the same, different, being 20 minutes long and tbh, gripping. Almost worth the admission alone. Superb.
The story is more woke, more emotion on display in 1 film than all previous films combined. Is it Bond if he isnāt getting laid? It allows the cast to add depth to the film.
The plot is classic Bond. Evil villain. Island lair.
I loved it.
Only weak spot? Remy Malik. Too young, too cartoonish, character & reasons for evil ness not really āgroundedā
A good send off for a visibly aging Craig.

Oh hello.
Need to get Mrs P_F to bed. Dune just landed at my cinemaā¦
IF you are a nerdy geek who remembers every word of the book, go directly to the biggest screen you can find & watch Dune.

IF you are normal & read the book in the last 3 years go to the biggest screen you can find now & watch Dune.
If none of the above, find the David Lean monstrosity, watch it & go to the biggest screen you can find.
Brilliant storytelling.
Seriously - No - you still pissed from yesterday?
I have a different perspective- Whatever floats your boat I guess 
No.
Not pissed.
I get it is a tough story to tell.
I think he has done wellā¦
As long as he gets to finish it.
If he doesnāt, then on itās own itās just more David Lynch
To be honest I read the books some 40 years ago, Iāve watched the first 90 minutes of the film and have found it enjoyable and mostly true to what I rememberā¦

Having never read the books, I went to the Lynch movie in 1984 and, apart from some worms(?) I canāt remember a thing about it.
I may have been pissed or fallen asleep, but Iāve never made the effort to re-watch it.

Didnāt Sting play a part in one Dune movie?
Yeah I fell asleep in the cinema back then as well.
Yet I know it is āan epic taleā and a story worth knowing.
So that Lynch disaster did have the benefit of giving me the gist of what I was watching and it made sense.
Mrs P_F who loves Trek but not much else SciFi managed about 20 minutes of the film before heading to bed with a āwtf is this all aboutā? Which I expect will be the reaction of many.
IF he pulls it off with this Part One that has very little in it other than much needed scene setting and big picture stuff, then Part Two will get made and should be Mahoosive.

I believe that line was from Brimstone and Treacle.
Only a Sting fan would know that.
