Completely agree. Bond movies are best when cheesy, Bond is a ladies man, and all the locations are exciting. There are plenty of other series if people want gritty. I'm kinda looking forward to when Daniel Craig is done because he's too stuck in moody mode.
Yeah definitely a gambling debt he couldn't pay. He was the worst father!! That phone call he forced Theo to make was one of the most tense scenes. That look on Theo's face when he realized there was never a savings account in his name with $10,000 in the first place. His father was planning to use him for money from the very beginning. In a world of movie villains who are evil and plan the perfect scheme that gets thwarted by the efforts of the hero, it was nice to see one beaten by his own stupidity and misunderstanding of education savings accounts.
I didn't really think about that part. I guess Theo was rationalizing the marriage realizing how important her mother was in his life and he in hers. I'm not sure it was that big of a sacrifice for the girlfriend because she didn't want to or couldn't marry the bad boy anyway... she just couldn't get over him and couldn't help being attracted to him. Since she comes from an "old money" family the idea of a good marriage on paper (or for the family) probably makes more sense to her.
I think that's more how it happens in real life than what the critics who hated this movie expect!
Like how Pippa and Theo are perfect for each other, but she can't deal with the trauma they shared because it stole her passion for music and that still upsets her even as Theo is getting past his mother's death.
