It's handled very carefully and without pushing it. No, it does not diminish his iconic stature, in my opinion. In fact, it adds more shading to the character.joe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-58587734279696654822012-11-14T19:23:57.572-05:002012-11-14T19:23:57.572-05:00I've read that the movie gives us some back st...I've read that the movie gives us some back story concerning Bond's childhood.
