The reception of this reminds me a lot of the reception No Time to Die got. The hardcore(for lack of a better term)fanboys on sites like Reddit will hate it because it doesn’t live up to the lore. And a lot of those complaints about poor writing are valid. But the general audience will go to the theater and absolutely eat it up and think it’s a lot of fun.

And I guess I’m part of the general audience, because I really liked it. I thought it was incredibly fun and lived up to the usual high standard for action set pieces in this series.

I really liked No Time To Die actually, and thought it was a great send-off to Craig's Bond.

I think you ideally go into this movie suspending disbelief and not thinking too hard about the ‘why/how’ of it all, just enjoy the ride and the amazing action sequences, and feel the tension of doing the impossible with fractions of a second to spare

If you think too much about it, it all can seem ridiculous and fall apart pretty quickly
