Instead, it appears that this will sit on the shelf until 2022 at the earliest while MGM will need to spend another $50-$100 million worldwide in marketing costs, which is extremely risky considering that there's no guarantee that audiences will return to movie theaters, or if movie theaters will even be open at that time.
The only word that fits this decision by the Broccoli's and MGM is dumb.
Yep. It’s very likely this film moves again. [Reply]

Just read it’s most likely getting bumped down the road again from its April spot. Crazy. [Reply]
I don’t think there’s any reason to put Black Widow on Disney+.
Disney isn’t willing to lose money on it what will likely be a $750 million dollar box office, especially considering the upcoming slate of Marvel properties that will run through August, with more Star Wars coming soon as well with The Bad Batch. [Reply]

I was thinking they might bump it if it messes with their timeline? Like if there’s something in Captain America and Winter Soldier or Loki that might reveal something with Black Widow?
But maybe not since Black Widow is a prequel? [Reply]
Just watched it. So so great! Loved every second of it. The action was top notch, and all the women too! Loved all the little callbacks to previous movies in the series.
Had a great little running gag about ‘007’. Great send off for Craig. [Reply]

Good to hear! I noticed its almost 3 hours long. Does it drag a bit ?
Also how was Rami Malek as the villain in this? [Reply]

I think it was about 2 hrs and 45 minutes? I didn’t think it dragged at all.
An interesting choice I’ve never seen before is the pre title sequence was the longest I’ve ever seen in a movie. The classic Bond song and titles didn’t start until about 25-30 minutes in the movie.
Malek was good. He doesn’t even show up until about an hour and 15 in. He reminded me a little of some of the old classic Villians from the Roger Moore era. Over the top with a huge island lair/hideout. Which is silly, ( where does he get the money to build all this? Why do all these hundreds of guys work for him?) but I liked it was a throwback.
I will say there are some reveals and plot development at the end that might bother some Fans. I thought it fit with this particular version of Bond. [Reply]

I thought this was done really well in the movie. Yes, technically she’s the new 007 in the movie. But it wasn’t presented in a ‘girl power’ sort of way. She’s just kick ass and shown as Bonds equal in a matter of fact way. I liked their relationship. Well done. [Reply]

Thought it was good, I'd put it at 3rd best by a hair below Skyfall for Craig Bond movies. I felt that Rami wasn't given enough to do in this movie. A slight waste considering how talented he is. But overall a good watch and would recommend to most people. The "bond replacement" isn't nearly the factor I thought it would be, and I surprisingly found the two worked decently together. [Reply]
