A big modern style Bond epic, which is to say there's big emotions, gorgeous shooting from Fukanaga, a little bit of continuity overdose, and some messy stuff around the edges. The thing that holds this back is centering a lot of ploy on Lea Seydoux's Madeline Swan without ever giving her a personality that matches the massive amount of plot functions she's asked to bear. As a wrap up of the Craig era it has a lot of the benefits and flaws of his era (the tying everything together just feels like obsessive compulsive cleaning at the expense of feeling like we're doing anything new, the leaving Bonds employment status so casual it seems that over the course of five movies and over a decade and a half he's spent more time out of MI6 than in it), but I'll miss Craig himself and the way his films have their own distinct vibe
