I am 14 years old. Daniel Craig is my generation's Bond. I have always loved every single entry of this franchise. This film was the first time I have ever seen a bond film at the cinema. I was HYPED. I was already aware that this was going to be Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond before watching this.
After finishing the film, I felt confused. Extremely confused. And quite frankly, I still am.
Why did they kill Bond?
I know that the Daniel Craig era of bond films are in a separate continuity to the other films. So even if Bond dies, technically it doesn't change anything about the series. However, I am failing to find a compelling reason for Bond to die in this film. I don't understand why the filmmakers behind this film thought of killing him. It doesn't even make any thematic sense to the film. Were they trying to shock us? Were they trying to make us cry? Because I didn't feel either of those emotions when bond died. Just utter confusion. They could've made it open to interpretation about his fate. Heck, even having him live a happy life with his family would've been better.
I am curious for what the franchise will become latter on. However, I feel that a part of myself died with bond's death.
I give this film a 5 only because it has some of my favourite moments of all of bond history (the pre-credit sequence was absolutely phenomenal), and it made some of the most questionable decisions in not only bond film history but cinema as a whole.
I may not be considered a true bond fan due to my age, but these are my true feelings on this film.
Thank you for reading my first ever review.
