While Craig is still the best bond ever and the action here is amazing, I don’t like to see all the fragility’s of this bond exposed. There is no heroic ending, just a guy that was not able to fix himself and ends up being manipulated by one of worst villains in bond history. Literally Mr Robot was such a big disaster has the villain that I was more concerned on parenting issues than the threat he was posing.
If you think about, Bond doesn’t die to save anybody, he dies because he gave up. Bond dying by “suicide” is disrespectful for the decade long heroe.
I believe the confusion that Spectre created in its plot did allow to build a convincing relationship of bond and Madelyn. In 1/2 of a movie, Vesper was a lot more intense. So when in this movie the drama depends on it, I am not convinced and I just a silly old bond crying.
Hands up for the final action sequence with a steady cam, truly bringing to bond franchise the John wick style!
As a final note, I am not sure if Bond will comeback soon. Craig had a huge impact and it will remain on our minds for long. The next will always be compared. And, honestly, I believe we has a society no longer like the stereotypes related with bond. Maybe the time is up
