This latest movie is different from James Bond films of the recent past. Much has been written about it, so I won't do the comparison. But there were some scenes where the director and producer were certainly trying to tell the audience something. Like when James Bond tells M that double O's have short life expectancies anyway so she doesn't have to live long with her mistake (when she expressed that she may have promoted him to double O status too soon) -- obviously a double-entendre about Daniel Craig's casting as 007. Daniel Craig seemed like he was still auditioning for his role (in a sense he is). Clearly there is a lot of effort to win the audience over, as in the focus on his physicality, the near-death scene, the beating up while naked, the losing of his (only?) love, making him feel pain and his face scarred. Overall it succeeds. I don't agree with Time magazine's assessment that it's a movie with lots of body but no soul. On the contrary the romant...
