This is the last of the Bond prequels that both reboot the franchise and re-imagine the character and his organization. This is a gritty Bond who illustrates the wear and tear of doing the job he does.
The narrative and film are a post-modern pastiche that liberally cuts and pastes the ambience of the early Sean Connery films, updates them, and applies the latest cinematic gloss to the end product. This Bond film is like a reunion tour of much of what came before. This film assumes you know Bond better than the characters who surround him yet there are plenty of surprises and a new back-story that keep it interesting.
When a drink at the bar is poured for him he replies, "Just the way I like it" and you and I know, in rock concert fashion, that's 'shaken not stirred'. The film is a delight because like the Batman franchise, the character is not trivalized or simply made a sock puppet for gadgetry. It could easily stand alone as a one-off thriller for those who don't care for Bond or franchise characters.
It will be interesting to see where it moves from here. For now, this one is as good as Bond gets.
Pros great story, great actors, respects the audience
Yes, I recommend this movie.
