As previously mentioned we went to see the new James Bond movie last weekend it was certainly an experience as most Bond films are, so I thought I'd recap our collective thoughts afterwards in a post as it's a film that requires some contemplation. Firstly this one is different, but don't worry there's still a ton of action sequences and a completely ridiculous villain with an equally ridiculous plot to destroy the world as there usually is (rightly so, it's James Bond after all!). It's different because I felt in this one a much higher proportion of the movie dedicated to Bond himself, i.e. his personal life and love-life (as opposed to sex-life) in particular. Lot's of jumping around the time-line, flash-backs, characters from the past and long moments of reflection and, dare I say it, regret. We perhaps glimpse the more vulnerable side of our hero, emotion and redemption feature large in the narrative, it even has a big dollop of sacrifice at the end which I won't spoil. Anyway, well worth the nearly 3 hours and twenty quid invested and for those that follow the series I can say without doubt the next Bond is going to be very, very different indeed!
