Was it suppose to be so Cliche?

Cliches. In a Bond film.

What no man Can give ya. And none Can take away.

That's one of the things I didn't like about Spectre. It felt like it was written with a checklist of Bond tropes they had to click off.

My bet is that they were trying to get back to the spirit of the original movies. But failed. Spectre was alright but it did not feel like a Bond movie. Skyfall, out of all the DC one's did feel more Bond than any others.

I like to ask you: what's wrong with a cliche every now and then? A Cliche by definition is a good concept overused to the point where people can see it coming and get bored as a result. It's not the cliche that matters. Its the story that's more important. One important thing about this whole sequence is Bond's emotions in all this. Like Vesper, he saw a possible chance at salvation with Madeliene. An option to quit and start over. At this point in time, he had been burnt, given up on a normal life, and lost his mentor. All he saw was darkness to the end of his days. In the end, he found a choice: kill Blofeld and take the Known Devil's path or take a risk with the Unknown Angel. With all his heartbreak, disappointment, failures, and losses, it's a big step for him to take the latter path in life. It's essentially a story of Bond facing his demons once and for all. I admit it didn't exactly have dialogues or acting worthy of
Shakespeare but I found it, in hindsight mind you, to be quite a solid story.
