So this one tries to literally erase SPECTRE which, you know, respect.
Almost thought I liked this movie more than I expected to, but what I'm really reacting to is many of the people in it. Daniel Craig is a great presence, especially when he does more than grimace through these movies.

The Rock needs to stop telling people he worked on this movie for years. If he was like "oh we did this in two weeks" I'd say not bad, buddy!

Stuff hits different when the characters work, right?
I guess if you want some 100-minute Freddy Vs. Jason battle (which not even FvJ actually…
