A lot of Star Wars fans could use hearing this nowadays🤦🏼‍♂️ the constant nitpicking is just so toxic. Enjoy the awesomeness that we are getting!!

Well said ✨

@@vincentdsouza8711 thank you!

"the first Bond film to seriously break my heart" This movie has issues, just like all Bond movies really. But goddamn, I cried my eyes out at the end. Having seen the character through so many films, I grew attached to him and his struggles. It's not a dissimilar situation to Logan.

Beautifully said.

This movie really solidified him as the best Bond in my eyes. Sean Connery is of course just, a legend but for me, Craig's Bond is a more flawed and real character who completes a journey with what I feel is the only ending that truly fits.

After Blade Runner I was really thinking she has a bright future, and then she went and did Knives Out and I'm so glad to see her career skyrocket since then, she seems like a wonderful human being.

YES!!! He is barely in the movie!

I think its main flaw was the whole Heracles contrivance. Part of that, I admit, is having seen it all play out as FOXDIE in the Metal Gear franchise over the past 20 years, but in general I would say it doesn't fit the tone of the Craig Bond era, it feels more like classic Bond camp. Le Chiffre's motivation in Casino Royale was completely believable, he was a war profiteer that was put in a bad place financially due to Bond's interference and as a result was backed into a corner by truly frightening men. He acted out of self defence, in a sense. Greene's plot in Quantum of Solace was even more grounded because not only did *it really happen*, *the real life version was so much worse*. Skyfall and Spectre were similar in broad strokes, a man created a massive intelligence network to monitor and control the world, both being updates of Elliot Carver's plan in Tomorrow Never Dies, then, as a side endeavor, uses said network to enact targeted revenge on someone (M in the case of Silva and Bond in the case of Blofeld). All of those are, at most, exaggerations of real world concerns/events (or *under*statements in the case of Quantum of Solace). Compare those to this movie where the British government creates a biological weapon capable of targeting an individual person through their DNA. It's a *bit* less grounded in reality.

When I saw he was in it, I was excited since he has good range, but I was disappointed when he only showed up towards the end and barely think of anything memorable he said. Except for “oh look, I have your child” lines. They had an opportunity to do more but it was a bit flopped

Completely agree. Whether the tone is campy or serious, being a “good” Bond villain (however you want to measure that is up to you), isn’t enough. They have to be distinctive and memorable. I don’t have anything personal against Malek, and I admit the deck was stacked against him after Waltz did his thing as Blofeld for the last time. Having said that, for me, at the end of the day, he’s the one thing a Bond villain-or villains in general-should never be: forgettable.

The opening scene is one of several fatal flaws. Safin should be dead. Period.

great explanation

yep. It's not presented as a rational or logical decision in the film, so I don't feel the need to defend Bond's choice. It is foolish, but only in the sense that it's a character flaw for Bond, not a flaw with the movie. This is a man who has been betrayed more times than he can count - betrayal is his profession, and it's just how his life is now. Not only does he push her away because it brings up trauma from Vesper and he acts impulsively on emotion, but also because that's just who his character is. This is a man who has realised time and again that the easiest thing to do is to switch off and not even entertain the emotion and the trouble. He's so incapable of facing his emotions that he finds it easier to just cut Madeleine off and walk away than to put himself through the pain of finding out the truth, working it out, and testing his love and faith again. It's not that he cuts her off because of his trauma around betrayal, he cuts her off because of his inability to be vulnerable and open with her. It's easier just to not go there. That's why his death is so impactful; he's overcome those barriers, and has the most heartfelt, real, raw conversation he has probably ever had.

On top of that he has to send her away because he knows that she will never be safe with him.

It always made sense to me why Bond did what he did and left Madeleine behind. He was already a man who gave his heart up and got it torn to shreds with Vesper, through a betrayal he never saw coming. This time around he isn't going to think that Madeleine is innocent and that he should just trust her and work it out. In his brain, it's Vesper's betrayal happening all over again and he refuses to put himself through that pain and loss again. Blofeld was brilliant because he knew exactly what kind of mind game he could play on Bond to ruin his life, by making him miserable and loveless and allowing Bond himself to do all that hard work for him. He preyed on Bond's trust issues, and like an abuse victim, the second a hand was raised against him, Bond flinched.

Which means a German dub nailed a pun. ONCE.

In French "to throw an eye at something" => "y jeter un coup d'œil" means to check something/investigate or go look at something

To me, that all serves a purpose in the story as well. Think about it. This was Craig's final film as Bond. In the story, it shows that CraigBond has become the ultimate version of his character. He has literally become James Bond. The film had been teasing his death from the very beginning by showing us how he had become this version of him. The film used teases and callbacks to other films to emphasize how far James has come in his journey. For example, note how the video itself calls out that this is the first time he actually orders his drink "shaken not stirred". Its all to show CraigBond has finally come into his own as a true James Bond and now that he's fulfilled that desire, there is nothing left for him to do.

I wish CinemaWins had talked more about the “We Have All the Time in the World” music hint at the beginning, that song appeared when Bond was most in love and had that ripped away from him in death, so having it flip this time was incredible. Seeing the movie blind and hearing the song and words at the beginning was how I knew it would be a true Bond ending.

There's a ton of callbacks to previous Bond movies (especially on her majesty's) and I wish cinemawins talked more about them

Same with all the greek mythological symbolism : Heracles, Athena in the opening, Bond's symbol on Q's radar looking like a trident, Cyclop, the Safin's god complex or even the 3 men carrying Blofeld's eye being pretty similar to the Graeae (3 people of different ages sharing one eye)

Sounds like its time to binge watch all the movies, ive still never seen Dr. No

Despite growing up on the Brosnan ones, Craig is my Bond too. Quantum of Solace is the only bad one, and that happened during the strikes in Hollywood, so it has an excuse.

@@Richard_Nickerson Same! I'll defend QoS for that very reason. They did the best they could.

Man I couldn't agree more with your comment. He's definitely my Bond too. And yeah some of the weird hate this film got made me stay away from it. But great videos like these make me appreciate it a lot more.

Craig is my bond 100%. No Time to Die was a fantastic send off. Ignore the white noise out there and love what you love

I'm showing my age here, but my Bond is Roger Moore. I do think Daniel Craig Is objectively the best Bond though, and NTTD is the best movie.

Seriously. No Time To Die is what convinced me to give CraigBond a chance, since I've never been a fan of the older James Bond and his very concerning views on women.

"Manly"? What century you living in, bro?

@@ziondanny7081 He's saying from the perspective of the Bond films wherein Bond's masculinity is a major aspect of his character. Basically that Bond died like a chad.

I hated Bond movies for years because he always just seemed like a shallow womanizer to me, but I have a lot of respect for CraigBond; he's actually a complex, interesting character. I hope, if we see more Bond movies in the future, that they create such a character in him again.

@@azulineamphisbaena9997 I kinda felt Timothy Dalton's short-lived Bond was a pretty sympathetic character. I've only seen the first of his two films, but I quite enjoyed it. Being a Bond movie from the 80s it's still got some of those old-fashioned 'Bondisms', and some bits haven't aged too well, but it's better than a lot of the others. Apparently when Pierce Brosnan became Bond, he was explicitly supposed to be more old-fashioned and more womanizing in order to 'reset' the franchise after Dalton.

Sean Connery - who was a bodybuilder before he took up acting - also did that.

The direction they took with Craig Bond was in response to Matt Damon's Bourne. Bourne was just a killing machine, no philandering, tuxedos or Martinis. I kinda liked Brosnan Bond better.

​@@WriterZeye I liked Golden Eye, still one of my favorite bond movies, but I didn't like any of the other Brosnan movies. Daniel Craig reinvented Bond, he is the definitive James Bond for me. Casino Royale redeemed a franchise that was out of date.

I agree. I think you'd appreciate my reviews of this fantastic film.

It was also his "brother" and daughter.

Totally agree, I've seen it 8 times and cried every time.

Agree, she needs her own film.

I would even love an "Alias"-style Paloma tv-series.

I agree. She killed it.

✨ PALOMA IS BEST GIRL ✨

Her and Nomi.

She would be boring seeing as she would be double O P

Will be following Ana de Armas’ career with GREAT interest

Hi Ewan, go back and watch Spectre again, then NTTD. Spectre is fantastic, so much mote Bond, bigger and better than Skyfall, which was not even a real Bond film.

@@thejamesbondshow9754 umm no? Skyfall is a Bond film. Get over it

Same with Great Mouse Detective.

I saw Atlantis in theaters when I was a kid and have loved it ever since. I re-watch it every few years and it still holds up. In fact, I'm going to watch it right now.

Agreed. Love this film and think it deserved better, critics be damned.

I am sorry for your loss: no doubt that Craig's final performance and I'm so glad Danny Boyle wasn't director (Trainspotting 2 was awful) and Cary Joji Fukunaga was. What I'm blown away by is the creativity with various aspects of the movie and has elements of "You Only Live Twice" (novel and 1967 feature, of course, Fukunaga has Japanese Heritage) yes, it has faults, however, I say this is the best of five 007 movies where the lead actor has stood down.

Christoph Waltz is always several wins. More than several. Enough to start the pre-season with a playoff spot secured.

He’s great. it’s amazing how much range his acting skills have. Prime example: hating him when he is Hans Landa and Loving him when he is Dr. King Shultz. He’s good as Blofeld too

as someone a decade younger the things I enjoyed most in bond (Brosnan and Craig) were three things: the absurd villain plans, the ridiculous gadgets and the unrealistic amount of wit, so I didn't majorly care for the Craig ones until the last one which not only checked those boxed but was also just a great movie

SILVER 👏FIN

@@blazing163 YES YES YES

Man I need to go back and read those, they were great

That’s probably the first time he’s used a knife for its proper use. 😂

Likes and comments will help ensure CinemaWins sees this!

I thought he was gonna take her as his own and raise her to be a monster to do his killings

@@johnthemangood8700 That’s what I thought too.. I assumed when it cut away that he saved her, and raised her and that’s how she ended up in that world with Blofeld and stuff. It feels a bit odd that he was so disconnected from the rest of the story, but this was kinda Madeleines story and her villain … so when I look at it that way, it works fine for me.

He's supposed to be significantly older than Madeline, even though rami is younger. So in the film's chronology I'd say Safin would probably be late 40s early 50s, because he's supposed to probably be 10 or so years older than Madeline at least that's how I took it from the opening scene.

I wish I could retweet RU-vid comments. You hit the nail on the head.

An EMP should’ve been an antidote. And he had one in his watch.

I get why Bond had to die - theme and everything - I just think he and his family deserved better. What can I say? I'm a romantic sap...

His pull-out game falls in line with his double O status

Even Fleming recognized it...the finale of the novel "You Only Live Twice" had Kissy Suzuki think on her pregnancy as Bond was leaving her to return to the UK. Later Bond novelist Raymond Benson kills off that now-grown child as part of a short story plot.

@@generalilbis I always did think that Fleming most likely would have followed through with that child plotline had he lived longer than he did; if I have to take guess, maybe he could've done a new story arc involving Kissy and the chold sometime after completing The Man with the Golden Gun (like after one standalone novel or two)?

@@DavidHutchinson0713 Possibly. Or it would have been a "completed" plot line where the kid is never talked about again because of reasons like misogyny or cultural beliefs about acknowledging a bastard hapa kid.

I love that song too!

I thought of equal parts First Blood and the Home Mart fight in The Equalizer!

@@SFisher1993 Well, the way the forest was covered in fog made me think of the bird cage from Jurassic Park III...

Not like sobbing but shed a couple tears for sure lol

I have one more "Eternals"😁.

The Batman and the other Jurassic and other Hobbit movies would also be great suggestions.

I agree with you. As a bond fan not much of a die hard. The references to other bond films are cherry on top

He sadly suffers from the same issue as William Sadler in Die Hard 2: a good actor not given enough juice in his role. 😕
