2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   I was more impressed than the venerable Wick, but I’m not gonna second guess this: Craig delivered Bond in spades for me in all the right ways, the expected and traditional ways that left me with an almost sense of pride as being an enthusiastic participant in the great Bond franchise. And Lea Seydoux? A great fit. Not too forward in the role of the beautiful sidekick. Ralph Fiennes is always great and fits the role of M well, and I’m getting used to Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris as Q and Moneypenney. Gadgets, action, women and coolness prevail in this entertaining hit, with a hint of a Craig-era sendoff with an awesome Aston Martin exit.
