    No time to die was a solid movie. It wasn't great enough for a finale though.

    Wow was that stupid! Meathead stupid!

    The acting was off...more like pretending.

    It didn't even feel scripted...it was as if they finished one shot, then looked for something cool to do next. None of it was cool.

    The scenarios were in no way realistic. Clint got the girl without displaying any charm, the killer who was supposedly obsessed with killing the president was more interested in the agent, the bosses who were keeping Clint down kept letting him do whatever…

    When I learned this was a movie written and directed by Billy Crystal, about an old comedy writer with a successful past, I was worried it would just be in service of his ego, or to remind us of how great he used to be.

    It may have been that, but it absolutely worked. This movie was both funny and touching, and Crystal deserves credit for his writing, directing, and acting.

    Tiffany Haddish's personality can be so big that it…

    Awesome premise. If you heard the problem that happened and the solution the president came up with, it would sound like the most interesting movie ever. And it was that interesting.

    Add to it the brilliant performances and the masterful direction by Sidney Lumet (especially when it comes to tension), and this is a no-brainer 5 star film.
