"You know that history isn't kind to men who play God." - James Bond to Lyutsifer Safin

Why watch this? Once again, Bond, one more time.

Plot Summary: After leaving active service and settling into a quiet life, James Bond is recruited by an old friend to help track down a missing scientist. The mission brings him back into the fold of international espionage, leading to a confrontation with a dangerous new adversary armed with deadly, modern technology. Ultimately, the past catches up to Bond, forcing him to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect his loved ones and stop a threat to the world.

Dad's Preview: This extravagant, if a bit too long, wrap-up to Craig's run as James Bond is everything a Bond film should be. There are beautiful gals galore (I particularly enjoyed the brief appearance of Ana de Arma - she's electric), cliff-hangers aplenty, explosions around every corner, and, uniquely, an ending to remember. Craig restored Bond to the edgy, quasi-chauvinistic, man-of-action we fondly loved from Connery's famous run. Then, the filmmakers added a dash of humanity, brilliantly sprinkled on top, and that gave this final film the gravitas it needed. Daniel Craig did win me over and I did enjoy these films. This was a welcome return for true Bond movie fans.
