The one element that remains impeccable is Craig himself. SPECTRE finally allows Craig’s Bond the freedom to enjoy himself, and Craig seems to relish the opportunity, giving us a Bond who thrives on the exhilaration provided by danger. If Craig does not return for Bond 25, SPECTRE has given us just enough of Craig to be satisfied.

movies, I think I'd be just about ready for another OO7
