Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 8425116" data-attributes="member: 63">Rami Malek's character definitely needed some more time baking, narratively, I mean. Like, apparently the studio pushed them to finish this movie, and they did, and then the pandemic hit. I wonder what an extra year of planning could have done.It just really doesn't make sense that the guy decides to commit genocide, and somehow has a ton of resources to control this island at the end. Also, I mean, I know Bond and computers never really get along, but for-f-sake, put a smidge more effort into making the nanomachines make sense. And how exactly is the villain, like, 'growing' them in pools of acid?I dug the intro, I dug the ludicrousness of the people Rami Malek wanted to kill all swinging by Cuba for a birthday party, even if Specter as an organization held zero weight for me. I dug Ana de Armas's action scene. I dug the Norway action scene. After that, it didn't really work.Like, um, why aren't programmed nanomachines thwarted by an EMP watch? Why do they have to blast the island right away? It's not like the villain had a ticking time bomb of his own. He wasn't about to launch an ICBM of nanomachines. They could've just blockaded the area. (Also, is it weird to anyone else that James Bond is still that emotionally attached to a 23 year old woman he knew for a couple weeks 15 years ago?)Anyway.</blockquote>
