Strawberry Fields James Bond

Strawberry Fields James Bond

Our man has got his emotions on a high and so goes on a revenge trail. Revenge for Casino Royale's Vesper's death. Who the hell was she? Oh, Bond's love interest who committed suicide? What the devil is happening here? An uncertain ending in Casino Royale and a pursuit in the sequel? Yup and so for the first time Bond is not chasing a villain who is out to destroy the world or neutralizing a Russian Mafiosi but following his emotions. How sweet but I can tolerate Daniel Craig in a love sick mode only once. A quarter of a century ago in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", George Lazenby who was the worst Bond ever, fell in love and even got married (horrors) but mercifully the wife gets bumped off in the end. The Bonds of this world are supposed to simply love 'em and leave 'em. Surely they can't be married and still be in business. The next worst thing is a brooding Bond who behind the garb of chasing villains is actually seeking to destroy the guy indirectly responsible for his girl friend's suicide. He has forgotten to laugh. There are no gadgets so no Mr. Q. The same guy plays Felix Leiter twice in succession. Bond does not sleep with the heroine! The famous martini, shaken not stirred is missing. And not once does he mouth, "My name is Bond, James Bond". Yessir Bond has changed.
