Letterboxd — Your life in film

I’ve just finished this and oh my god was it worth all the hype. I was a little skeptical of this during the first two episodes, but I’m so glad I stuck with it. 
I don’t want to say much for fear of it giving the plot away, but I was enthralled by ever aspect of this masterful tv show and cannot wait for the second season.

This film was quite possibly the best instalment of Daniel Craig’s Bond films. It created such an insight into the complexities of the characters that the other films failed to grasp (excluding perhaps the end half an hour of skyfall and some of spectre). 
The stunts were successfully ambitious, the characters were wickedly loveable and the plot had enough twists and turns to keep my on the edge of my seat throughout. A brilliant film.

Oh my god. This film. My heart was pounding throughout. This is honest to god one of the best films I’ve ever seen. The diversity of character personality combined with a tense and terrifying plot line makes for one of the best crime thrillers in film. 
I usually dislike the crime genre, it’s really not my favourite, but this blew my away. It was an unpredictable display of utter genius. You have to watch this film.

This was maybe my second favourite bond film, underneath casino royale. I feel like Bond actually displayed emotion and variety of character in this, rather than just being a stoic emotionless portray of “manly” 
I also enjoyed the plot a lot more. I felt it was a touch more unique than the others.

I went on a binge session of James Bond this week because I want to watch the new one without being confused, and I’m struggling to come up with unique reviews for them honestly. They’re all great, don’t get me wrong. But they’re pretty much the same thing repeated. I like them a lot, but they’re not really unique.

I’ve always enjoyed the James Bond films, they’re very much films that you don’t really have to concentrate on, and can just relax and watch or an evening. This film is rammed full of car chases, fights and stunts that match any classic Bond film. What can I say? It’s just James Bond.

This film was astounding! Likeable characters - awakafina was hilarious as always - and great dynamics between them all. The cinematography was incredible, complimented perfectly by the musical score. 
The only issue I would have is that it slows down slightly in the middle, however the pace of the film picks up quickly and resumes its edge-of-your-seat action feel. All in all, this was a perfect example of a brilliant marvel film.

I honestly don’t think that this deserved all of the bad ratings it received. Sure, some of the acting was poor and the cliches and dramatisation of certain scenes were often very cheesy, but I think that this served to add to the overall charm of the film. 
The clever nature to the challenges each victims went through was so interesting to try and puzzle out, and the film remained chilling and relatively unpredictable throughout. I liked it!

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I’m not sure why I loved this film, as nothing really happened throughout its entirety. The characters weren’t at all likeable and the ending was dissatisfying but I adored it none the less. It was one of those satisfying portrayals into simplicity, a group of kids having fun and making new connections in detention. A classic films that has clearly withstood the tests of time.
