I don't mind one more Daniel Craig Bond movie one bit. I'd be all for Idris in the role- can't think of anyone else I'd rather see doing it.

"The Wire" is still the best show ever, IMO and most people who rate these things. Just binge watched "Bosch" and it was really good but not TW.

Daniel Craig is Bond for as long as he wants to be but who knows how long that is. They are in production on the latest Bond film w him at the moment. :cool:

My son is in town, so we caught a movie tonight, and that was the only thing that we were both open to seeing that was also playing at the right time. He wanted to see Once Upon a Time in LA, but it started 1/2 hour later and is ~1/2 hour longer (2:39, holy carp!).

If you've seen the first xXx movie with Vin Diesel, this is like that, but, I thought quite a bit better because Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson are much more entertaining, and the two of them together are great. The lead girl was also very good and Kevin Hart and Ryan Reynolds also had small parts that were entertaining. Idris Elba made a great bad guy. This really didn't seem remotely related to anything fast and furious.

Fun (over the top) fight scenes, but these days, what fight scenes aren't over the top. Over the top spy gadgety tech stuff. And quite a bit of comedy.

Yes, over the top stunts/action, but hey, if you can check your inner adult at the door and just embrace your inner 12 year old, then you may enjoy it.

I enjoyed it.

I watched it because Fred North is the best damn copter pilot in the film industry, plus the Kauai scenes are my old playground.
