Daniel was Bond! All the Bond actors were great, each handled what was given to them and in the TIME it was done. For me, I enjoyed his Bond and all his Bond movies being serious, it put me back into the time first reading Flemming's books. And in my opinion, Daniel is the best Bond. I rated this on what it was, "Being James Bond". I would give tens to clips, behind the scenes and bloopers, I enjoy Bond from my first ever reading one of the books, the first Bond movie watched, out of order, no video stores yet, skipped school and went to the movie. Love the block of movies with Daniel C., and all the other actors in them. An outstanding run!

This is one of my favorite Documentaries on the James Bond series and I love it and I love showing some the behind the scenes of all of Daniel Craig films as James Bond and I love this also as an way to show Daniel Craig final chapter as James Bond before No Time To Die (2021)

Now if this wasn't a Bond movie, this would be flat out a 10/10. The problem is, it is a Bond movie and i simply cannot rate it higher than 5 for that. Now why is that? In itself, you get a great script, great action, great actors, great cinematography, great soundtrack, everything appears to be top notch. Judging this movie alone in itself, it is a great movie and you should absolutely watch it. As long as you don't expect it to be a Bond movie. If you watch a horror movie, you want to get a bit frightened. If you watch a comedy, you want to laugh. Movies come with an expectation and a promise. If you make a movie, that simply does not deliver what it promises, you will disappoint your viewers. Spoilers ahead! Where does this movie break its promises: JB is not a special agent, he is an old man coming out of retirement. Gives you the vibe of an old man's tale, not like watching a superhero special agent The movie is making you sad, instead of giving you a feel good time like all the Bonds before The movie is a closer to a tragedy, than to an action comedy They kill Bond - this is not game of thrones, you do not go into bond movies wanting to worry about if he survives, these movies always have happy ends They kill Felix Leiter They are ok with showing the abduction of little childs Bond is a Family man, many tears, many emotions They drag the 007 joke with replacing him with a woman too far. We get it, women can also be strong super heroes, but it felt like they wanted to ride that horse to the death throughout the movie until he finally gets reinstated Money Penny, who was developing as a key figure gets thrown back to the sideline with basically no screentime at all They focussed a lot on the family drama and showing an emotional side The movie doesn't have a happy end and ends in a tragedy. I get why they made that decision to end the Craig era, but it Bond floats away in a yacht at the end of movies, this simply leaves a sour taste Now all these points are completely fine, if this wasn't a bond movie. Just rename him and make another type of spy movie, totally fine, would love to watch that. This just isn't Bond anymore, they took it too far. Yes, Bond stayed at the top because the movies managed to capture the spirit of their time, adjusting to different social environments, but they always stayed true to their core. This movie just throws too much overboard to still be called a Bond movie. It appears that with Daniel Craigs screen death, the James Bond era has also ended. Goodbye and thank you for the good times Mr. Bond. From now on you simply have no idea what to expect from a Bond movie, the brand has basically ended. What will the next Bond be like? Will it be a sad tragedy? Will it be a super hero spy movie? Will he simply die from time to time? Who knows .... they tore down their own brand they had built up over decades.

I was excited when I got to know about this documentary and I wanted it to be a little longer and the fact that this documentary covers all of the things that have happened in the past only makes me love Daniel Craig's bond more and it really had an impact on the whole bond persona, I honestly think that Craig's bond has more feelings than any other bonds it's like other Bonds are happy to kill and they enjoy it but the depth of Craig's bond is that he does not like it and every time he kills someone he knows it's bad it only gives more depth to the character and the bathroom scene in Casino Royale shows us exactly that he knows how it feels and the fact that Daniel Craig plays Bond is just awesome and I love him for making James Bond look so good doing all the action... What matters is that he enjoyed the role and we enjoyed him play that role and I am grateful that Daniel Craig made me experience the best Bond! And making any movie takes a lot of effort, time, and money it requires patience and dedication you can't just say Quantum of Solace is bad, they tried Casino Royale pushed the standard high that no movie could match it...

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 remember the outcry when Craig was first announced as Bond. But he proved everyone wrong with his great portrayal. Nice to see some behind the scenes footage of some of his experiences, the stunts and recounting his movies. I really liked his comment about him being related and close to films like Dr No and Live and Let Die. Craig has joined a small elite group of actors who have carried such a great mantle of a timeless character. I am grateful to Craig for helping propel the franchise to the very top in the 21st century and hit some home runs for Bond fans.

The movie was good but I am really worried about the future, can't something be like it always have been? James Bond is 007, James is a man. Basta.
