What Should Have Been

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2010)

These days people are into story lines and portrayals that are real and can easily relate to.
The movie was a real reboot of the franchise. By erasing the hero type machismo image the previous Bonds have made, it changed the landscape and gave the fans a better understanding of what 007 should have been. This movie was a better portrayal of the character, makes mistakes, cannot accept mistakes, and is deeply heart-broken because of betrayal. The movie may not have been the perfect spy story nor an assassin movie but compared to the old ones, murder.
OK so he fell in love with the accountant, she really played him well. For most films there must be a love story, they have to include it. My concern though was he shouldn't have placed his personal feelings in the game. What he could have done was business, strictly business even if they were on vacation for months. As a spy, he should have played her well too, one of the mistakes he committed that made him better that the other 007s. Oh well rookie mistakes.
To sum it all it was better, more real, and entertaining. Surely this Bond silenced the critics.
