I don’t see where I pretend to be above spectacle: I highlighted a correlation (most movie with those things are not of my liking), not a prerequisite. I’m actually a big fan of James Bond movies, classic ones (very “shallow” by modern standards and still good imo) and new ones too, and there’s plenty of fighting and explosions in those.

I explained why to me it was a boring three hours in a very comfortable movie theatre armchair, so that you see why some people didn’t actually enjoy it as much as you did. On the masterpiece part, I’ll agree to disagree :)
