Daniel Craig leaves no doubt how hard it will be to replace him in the future. The movies underlying theme makes it clear he is seen as a dinosaur in the world of secret agents and will make his retirement somewhat natural in the next movie. Craig is still as steely cool and deadly as in the past and finds love with all the accompanying Bond girls as is the normal & expected reaction to Bond from all women. Even M's emotions warm up to Bond eventually in the end as we find out more about their length relationship which of course remains & has always been strictly professional & platonic. Q becomes a more interesting & amusing figure in this Bond movie and appears will have a bright future as a Bond character.
I love the 007 movies and this one did not disappoint.
