Everything about this film dates it prematurely to a very narrow window of the mid-2010s. It has already not aged well.
But aging is not an issue for something that starts out this rotten. Somehow this is the most expensive Bond film made to date, but they forgot to pay for a screenplay? It's like they're working from a first draft. A bunch of unfinished scenes haphazardly spliced together into a confusing and nonsensical mess.
Action star Léa Seydoux, Aragorn's wife from [Crimes of the Future](@/films/2022_crimes_of_the_future.md), tries to reign it in, but who is she against a cast of a dead-faced Bond (Daniel Craig of Knives Out) and a mute WWE wrestler (Dave Bautista of Knives Out)?
Bond James Bond finds a ring with an octopus on it and goes rogue to track down the leader of a secret ring of illuminati by crashing a prop plane through a wooden barn in the Austrian alps, hooking up with Seydoux in the Swiss alps.
The supervillain is Bond James Bond's half brother who killed their dad, or something. It's absurdly convoluted between all of the kabooms. Convoluted, and stupid.
First rooftop scene is famous because they released a behind-the-scenes of the shot on social media.
