    Worst James Bond in the midst of ultraviolet theme love by those that enjoy it

    I don't understand why in the hell people love this guy so much, this ultraviolence horrific mutilation of humanity is not what James bond was about neither in the past movies nor the series of books that were written by Fleming. It's just a love affair with mutilation of humanity of a human being. I can't stand watching any of his movies and for years I've only watched one of all of them and he made the other ones I had no interest in if I wanna watch this type of ultra violence stuff I watch Japanese typical yakuza movies not this garbage. I was a fan from the very beginning of the Fleming series of James Bond. But when this guy became the bond and I said hell and then I realize the ultraviolence these days. I'm so happy this guy is gone in a new James Bond is in the coming but for this era of James Bond rest in peace forever and you may you never show up again.

    Fantastic treat from Apple

    With the new film right round the corner, this is a perfect watch to get you in the mood for It. Daniel talks about his time being Bond and we get to see some behind the scenes footage, which was lovely to see. I for one can't wait for the new film! It will be strange to see another person in the role!!

    I enjoyed it. 45 mins felt rushed, wish they had more.

    The media is generally quick to write people off, to say that XYZ would fail without consideration for the person on the receiving end, even if it's James Bond himself, LOL. Something that all of us can certainly work on.

    This is a 45 min doc about Daniel Craig's journey from being picked to play Bond to wrapping up the latest movie, No Time To Die. I enjoyed watching this, wish they had more.

    I had no idea that this dude received so much hate and backlash, especially from the English media. Daniel talks about all of that, how this changed, and how he dealt with being a nobody to being Bond overnight, some of the processes that went into making these movies, never-before-seen clips, etc.

    Regardless of if he's your Bond guy or not, I would recommend that you check it out. I feel like we tend to appreciate a movie better when there's some behind the scenes insight on the hard work that went into the movie and this will certainly help you look at his Bond movies differently and gear you up for the next one. I'll surely be going a rerun of everything from Casino to Spectre before No Time To Die.

    Being James Bond: The Daniel Craig Story - Insightful But Not Exceptional, 6/10

    Being James Bond: The Daniel Craig Story earns a 6/10 for its interesting behind-the-scenes glimpse into Daniel Craig's tenure as James Bond. While the documentary provides a fascinating look at his journey, it doesn't quite hit the mark of being truly impressive.

    The film is engaging for fans interested in the making of the iconic Bond films and Craig's interpretation of the character. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs he faced in bringing a new depth to the role. However, despite these intriguing elements, the documentary lacks a certain wow factor that elevates it beyond being just a behind-the-scenes feature.

    One of the highlights is the intimate and candid moments with Craig, shedding light on his personal experiences and thoughts on playing such a legendary character. These insights add a humanizing touch to the Bond persona, which is compelling for viewers.

    However, the documentary could have delved deeper into the impact and significance of Craig's portrayal on the Bond legacy. While it's enjoyable to see the backstage aspects and Craig's reflections, the documentary misses an opportunity to explore more profound themes and implications.

    In conclusion, Being James Bond: The Daniel Craig Story is a decent watch for those interested in the actor's journey as James Bond. It's insightful in parts but overall lacks the depth and impact to make it a standout documentary, hence the 6/10 rating.

    Perfect Set Up for 'No Time To Die'

    It's incredibly satisfying to reflect the longest running Bond, after all this time, and to see his first screen test and his very last day on set for the upcoming 'No Time To Die'. As a Bond fan this is a true treat and I hope it even comes as a feature in home video releases. What a legacy, Mr. Craig: you can walk away confidently happy now.
