We know what "C" stands for

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2016)

(+) Loads of action, both in car chases and hand-to-hand Classic Bond charm, especially when seducing a recent Italian widow. Classic Bond humor, especially in the car chase scene when he rams into the bumper of 500 and displays his classic nonchalance.
(-) There were way too many clichés that are too common. For example, right after the chase scene with Bond in an airplane, he tells White's daughter she should trust him because he's her best chance to stay alive. Oberhauser is the most random bad guy to tie up all of Craig's villains and he is not even a huge presence. Using him as the source for all the other bad guys is terrible retcon and was completely unnecessary. Since when has James Bond hinted at wanting to settle down with the love of his life whom he met about halfway through the movie...? I am all for new ideas, but changing core characteristics of a character ruins the point of his existence.
