Looks better than I thought. Still got that plot point or maybe setup point that is going to just go "kerklunk" because what little they showed in this preview very much went "kerklunk." Although it also came off a bit like I thought. Craig 007 practically laughed in her face. Really looks like they made a hash of it trying to have it both ways.

While Lynch is a tall woman she is in no way physically imposing. We didn't see her in any fights and she looked really awkward in the bit with her with the rifle. She has a very matronly shape.

It should be interesting watching the juxtaposition between a woman we're supposed to accept as strong an capable as Craig 007 in Lynch and the damsel in distress or more traditional Bond girl in Lea Seydoux.

It seems likely this will suffer from the original version of the film having not tested well and then trying to correct that with editing.

Some of the stunts look pretty cool. Also seems they ditched the washed out shaky-cam aesthetic that drug down "Spectre." In that respect it should at least be watchable.
