It's a dark day for Bond fans, Amazon MGM has gained control of the 007 franchise. Get ready for the MCUification of James Bond

Not earth shattering or anything, but recommended none the less (pretty much only recommended for families). 7.5/10.
Under 10?

I love the Paddington movies!

Paddington 2 is underrated AF

I know nothing of Paddington, English bear from old timey books? Never saw any of the other movies or even know if they exist but saw that Peru trailer and thought "that looks awesome".

We watched Paddington 1, which was a fun movie.

My 19 yr old son contents Paddington 2 is even better

Paddington 2 is perfectly delightful. I wouldn’t say it’s under-rated because everyone seems to love it. I look forward to seeing the new one.

Finally watched 'The Substance' and I have to say I agree with those who thought it was a good movie. There was one particular scene that lost me for a little while near the end with the sheer absurdity of it, but the rest of the movie was pretty great (I like strange movies).

You mean you don't want to watch the 8-episode mini-series "Ms. Moneypenny"?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who watched it because of Pedro Pascal and Nick Cage...

My daughter asked to watch a movie with us and she chose The Wild Robot. I figured, "It'll be cute and tolerable". Well. That was a massive understatement. I looked it up after watching and it is highly rated and with good reason. Definitely watch The Wild Robot. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Bond has been mediocre action tripe that ignored and mocked the source material since Craig showed up. Much of it was nonsensical tripe(and not the good type). It ended with an absolute insult to the character(and ya, I watched it twice, it was lame both times) the was soulless in the way only a writing-by-board-members can pull off. So ya, whatever is coming can't be worse than that.


And ya, I know, unpopular opinion. I'm still right.

I think the Casino Royale / Quantum of Solace / Skyfall group was pretty good but the last two Spectre and No Time to Die were bad. I saw them both in theatres and haven't bothered to watch them again since.

Casino Royale tried way too hard to not be Bond, but the story was OK. QoS is pretty widely regarded as unintelligible crap, Skyfall had a great song, and ya, the last two were bad bad.

Skyfall was, in my opinion....top-end Bond. That film was fantastic.

There's actually a comic book with this premise. It was written by Taran Killam (from SNL). It's called "The Illegitimates" and it's about 5 kids of a James Bond-like superspy (obviously didn't have the rights to Bond) who come together to figure out why their Dad was killed. It's actually a fun read.
