The majority of our James Bond films are typically predictable leaving movie fans and film goers with a lot of action sequences, hot women and mediocre plot lines. Hold the phone, THAT's what James Bond films are though and that's exactly why we keep going. It's great, is it not?
This film had the good grace to bridge the old with the new while giving film fans the sense that the intensely exciting Bond series is finally intertwining itself with modern warfare. The threat, actions, scenarios and characters are believable thus pulling you deeper into the film. The tying enables not only a more charismatic enjoyment of the film but also a darker sense of familiarity as we all can imagine such events within our environments.
I had the pleasure of sitting behind an older couple enjoying their long lusted Bond thrills who both gasped and clasped when a certain icon made its appearance while I - as a viewer - also felt more connected to the coherency of the villain in regard to today's modern evils.
