Being James Bond: The Daniel Craig Story

Being James Bond is a nice little feature documentary that sheds light on Daniel Craig's tenure as James Bond. I am personally a big fan of Craig as I think he is the best Bond. Not the most iconic or historic, but arguably Best Bond, especially because he brings something completely new, more down-to-earth and more serious to the table. The documentary follows all the film's productions, as well as the pressure placed on an actor to play James Bond.

The documentary gets a little too melancholy in the end, just as I'm also a little sad about its spoiling of the last scene of the latest movie. What the documentary does really well is the inside information we get from producer Barbara Broccoli, producer Michael G. Wilson and Daniel Craig.

I can't believe that I cried hard at the end... Can you imagine dealing with all that horrible critics and comments and so on and stand up straight and not letting affect you mentally and your work while filming and be able to deliver that kind of performance...hats off!

Such an emotional wrap!!... SO inspiring to me as an actor. Thanks!!.

(I just would have waited 3 more beats at the end before jumping so hard to the Bond theme though. It felt like a coitus interruptus.)

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.

Damn this was so damn good. He is my favorite Bond no doubt. And now the wait for No Time To Die.

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.
