A Welcoming Change

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2006)

No, Bond does not order a Martini stirred. He does not sleep with the heroine at the end, nor does he hit on MoneyPenny. This movie is about how Bond became Bond. It starts off as he becomes a double O. It then takes us through his freshman mission. It is amazing, really. We are introduced to the characters we have become familiar with through the other Bond films. M, Felix of the CIA, his 'wife,' (who's grave he visited in a previous Bond film), and the precursor of Money Penny(keep close attention to his first conversation with the girl on the train and the words Money and Penny). This movie also introduces the grandest character of them all, Bond. Throughout the movie we see Bond become Bond. He makes mistakes, but he learns from them. We find out about his past and why he is comfortable being the loner, we also find out why he is a terrific gambler. It is a must see Bond film and yes, it is one of the top two Bond films. I compare this Bond to that of Connery because of his cocky attitude and massive sex appeal.
