The plot is basically:

Lab leak virus used by Russian scientist and evil Egyptian man (I guess) to do white genocide (literally, but it's only mentioned in a couple second graphic and one sentence from the Russian) from Soviet communist bunker. Thwarted by James Bond and British government violating international law, also saving Bond's girlfriend and blue-eyed (this is mentioned a bunch) blonde haired aryan daughter.

    Yeah the cinematography for these movies is always great. The villain "lair" on the island, although kinda empty, was pretty interesting looking too. And yeah thankfully they got the sex scene out of the way with at the beginning and teased another one at least 3 other times but it never happened xD.

    Conveniently, Q gives him an EMP watch earlier in the movie that should do the trick, right? Nope, instead he decides he must stay on the island as it’s blown up and die for no fucking reason.

    Well conveniently earlier Q also tells him there is no way to get rid of the nanobots (really, there's no possible vaccine!?)

    I agree completely though, the ending was hilariously bad. The worst possible way for Bond to die. LITERALLY FROM FRIENDLY FIRE FROM BOMBS THEY DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO USE. Why was there so much urgency to carpet bomb an island?!?! And all they needed to do was fire into the missile silos or use a bunker-buster or just do nothing. Bond could have died fighting some ruthless villain in a Sherlock Holmes waterfall type scene. It could have been anything. But he dies just standing there, doesn't even get a good ending line! And the movie isn't even over at that point.

    And the closing quote:

    "The function of man is to live, not to exist.

    I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.

    I shall use my time."

    sounds like they're anti-lock down boomers or something xD

      And the subconscious suicide cult of capitalism marches on.

      Oh god I actually forgot about the very end

      "I want to tell you about a man named...Bond.........James Bond" um uh she knows him. They just met and he saved her life like 5 times! And the MI6 people randomly standing around dressed in black, it didn't even seem like they missed him at all and just wanted to get back to work :michael-laugh:
