More than a year after its initial release date (April 2020) due to the pandemic, we\u252c\u00e1 are delivered the epic conclusion of Daniel Craig’s successful run as 007. It has all the ingredients for a box office hit; a villain played by Oscar winner Rami Malek, a script partly written by the brilliant Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag<\/em>, Killing Eve<\/em>) and a chart-topping theme song performed by the 19-year-old star Billie Eilish. To top it all off, it’s directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who also helmed Jane Eyre<\/em> and Beasts of No Nation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The movie kick starts with an opening scene jam-packed with suspense and mystery, immediately drawing you into the story line. And of course, we are given the famous gun barrel sequence that is a beloved part of the Bond franchise canon; performed for the last time by Craig. It then brings us back to where Spectre<\/em> left us; Bond and his new love Dr. Madeleine Swann (L\u251c\u00aea Seydoux) driving away into a seemingly \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffhappy ever after’. But this is Bond, and just as expected we are thrown a dramatic and unexpected turn of events that lead to the parting of the two lovers. And so, Bond is left alone to spend his days back in Jamaica, until his replacement, Nomi (Lashana Lynch), shows up, taking him back to London to his true calling in Her Majesty’s Secret Service.\u252c\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
