I think this is the most hated Bond edition EVER, because EVERY SACRED BOND TRADITION gets destroyed or abondoned without any care. That's a tough cookie to swallow... BEWARE: definitely NOT suited for the regular James Bond fans. Why not? The BAD: There is this woke plague. Suddenly 007 is black AND a woman. Why? Because that is WOKE. And woke is PC (Politically Correct). And the former James Bond was NOT woke, so why not simply make him woke? BAD IDEA. Even Q himself questioned in a real life interview if they hadn't taken demolishing traditions too far, when making Q a homosexual. What's the point? There is a limit to how much Bond traditions can get turned upside down, just for the sake of PC culture aka pleasing the current politcially correct fashion... Let's hope this is a one off and that the new James Bond will return to the proper, traditional customs. What I (still) LIKED: the action scenes are still really great, the photography is beautiful, the acting performances are all still quite good. More GOOD: There is really great TRUE TO LIFE character interaction in this movie. This director only made small, but intelligent and subtle arthouse movies before. His directing qualities are showing in the many scenes in which the characters bond or clash with each other. We get to see real people, interact with each other, like real humans would do. Quite refreshing for a Bond movie. I really do prefer this new, more true to life human interaction compared to the older James Bond editions, where every character was a 1 dimensional stereotype. James Bond has definitely grown up. He has become more of a credible, believable human being in this movie, like any other human being. But is it for the better? Simply judge for yourself... because this is without a doubt the most controversial James Bond edition that has ever been released!
