Reply to comment by Malcolm_McMan in What movies do you think harbored the most wasted potential? by Intelligent_Oil4005

I actually like it a lot on its terms, well until the climax anyways. But yeah as a follow up to Majesties its a disappointment. Still not as bad as Spectre following up Skyfall though.

Spectre was the movie that got me into bond. I'll admit that the ending is a little weak, and the brothers twist was bullshit, but I like the movie. I think the main difference is Skyfall doesn't need a follow up. It ends its story where it needs to, so the next movie can be good or bad without wrecking Skyfall. Majesties ends on a cliffhanger that demands satisfaction. Bond needs his revenge. Instead we got Dimonds. It's a fun movie, all 007 films are. I always loved the moon lander chase. But it is my least favorite bond movie
