AN AMAZING BOND FILM
I've just seen the film last night in Australia, as we had a delay due to COVID. However the film was amazing, and I loved how it tied in other old bond films as well. The film ties in many of the old bond moments that only some bond fans will see, as they are very small and you have to pay close attention to them. Being this is Daniel's last film, many will have mixed feelings about the film in general, how quote-on-quote woke it is, but i think many people are expected something like Skyfall or something like Dr No. Where in fact its something that bond fans who love the series, will be able to watch and feel like they are actually beside Bond the entire way.
Reading the low rating of this film I think it deserves more as its the closing of Daniel's Bond. Just like every other Bond before him they have all had their closing chapters. If you really love Bond and the story of Daniel Craig's Bond, this you have to watch. This film doesn't really deserve the beating its gotten from many critics, as it should be a film to enjoy. Critics have given in their terms a fair rating, where many people in the cinema I was in last night left the film, praising how great it was and that it's the perfect send off to Craig's Bond saga.
The film remains very true to Bond and the characters in the film. Safin (the main villain) was written perfectly as an adversary for Bond. Madeleine's story and character arc is perfect and fills in the blanks that were left in Spectre. The characters in NTTD were very fitting for their roles, welcoming back some old faces and some new ones was very nice to see. I am very pleased with how well the film showcased these characters.
I've loved James Bond for as long as I can remember and this was amazing, I'll be going to see it again because its that good, it was worth the wait, whether you feel that way or not. Bond fans will be very satisfied with the film. It was stated by the director that Cary Joji Fukunaga, that this will be an emotional roller coaster for fans and for Bond, and it is.
Overall the film is amazing and has plenty of action, stunts, car chases, and gadgets. The plot development of this film is amazing and is very well written, the story line perfectly sums up the other four Craig films bring the series full circle.
Goodbye Mr Craig, thank you for everything you've done and given to Bond and the series. You will be missed sir.
