The eagerly awaited Bond installment is more storytelling than action, more persona than suave, more basics than gadgetry. To many, including me, this is a little bit of a letdown – but not a disappointment. There was still plenty chasing around, sultry women, a bad guy with a twisted personality, and the requisite Rolex – but all of those statements were more muted than expected. Instead, what was new was the back-story including more information about Bond’s beginnings, M’s frailties, and the next generation of Q and Ms Moneypenny – of course with nods to the 60’s legacy. One nice touch is the on screen commitment to future Bond films and the clear setup who they think the team will be. Definitely go see this film, just know that Bond pleases from a different angle than you might be used to.
