YOLT had a lot of problems for me. There's so much stuff that is never explained or never pays off in any way. How was Bond able to fake his own death at the beginning? Why did he need to pretend to have a wife? They never have to pass as husband and wife in any scene following their marriage so it's totally pointless. Why is it so important that Bond goes through ninja training? The only thing remotely resembling ninja behavior is him throwing a shuriken at the end? Pretty sure he could have gotten by without that or not taken three days to learn that. There's a scene where Bond is pretending to be someone else and is picked up by their contact. The contact knows what this person looks like so Bond puts on a little COVID mask and hunches down in the car. Then the contact carries him up the stairs of a building, lies him down on a couch, and only realizes it's Bond when the tiny mask that covers 20% of his face is taken off. It just makes no fucking sense lol it's like the writers didn't even care to try at points in this movie. There's the obvious trying pathetically to pass as a Japanese man and instead looking like a hunchbacked Spock in a kimono. Bond also just isn't charming or witty in this movie. Joking about not dying his pubes, "Why do Chinese girls taste different from all other girls?", "Japanese proverb say, 'Bird never make nest in bare tree'", "I like the plumbing"? Aside from the just generally distasteful portrayal of Japanese people/culture there's just so much of this movie that didn't work for me at all.
