If this turns out to be Daniel Craig's swan song, he went out in blazing style. From the opening tracking shot to the return of a classic and long-awaited Bond villian, this movie completes the set with highly intense action sequences, a more modernized approach to the "Bond woman" (the gorgeous middle aged Monica Bellucci), and a will-he / won't he ending. The story dragged at times, but the movie was still fast-paced enough that it didn't get boring.
