Great Bond, never so unique, but with all classic Bond charms

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2006)

I went to cinema with my friend expecting pure action with weak story point (which is an old illness of "new" Bond movies), then I got something completely different. I was completely "wowed" with Craig's performance because the guy is kind of born to be Bond. He has all Bond's charms and adds something completely new to character. Personally, I didn't like the change of Pierce Brosnan, somehow he was synonyme for nowadays Bond movies, but Craig pushes it all much further involving deeper story elements with no "saving world" things. From beginning to the end everything is in place except for little lack of action elements. It wouldn't be bad if there were more well recognizable hardcore action scenes (although we saw what pure "sci fi Bond action" brings), but there is very good story to cover this. Actually, story itself brought kind of darker and slower scheme to this tittle, but it's all positive in every way. It's shame that other directors of Bond didn't do their movies as Campbell did this one. One thing is certain guys - we have the best action/crime movie of the year.
Overall 9/10
