I have always been a big bond fan and if I new that James Bond and other main characters were going to be killed off, then I wouldn’t have watched it. Seems like the plot was designed to do just this. As with the other Bond movies you would walk away considering how good the plot was and the characters. Die hard bond fans want to see ‘James Bond’ live on, and battle it out with Spector. Without this, there is no James Bond. Also James is not just a number’007’, his humanity, charm, Witt and quick thinking is what makes the character and the movie, not necessarily the action… like everything in life, you need a good balance, and ‘A Time to die’ as far as I’m concerned failed.
Obviously the creators of this movie do not value what a real bond fan do / want to see.
I know times change, but if the right ingredients aren’t in the mix it will be a flop - it was, sorry.
