Absolutely excellent.

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2006)

I read through all the 1 star comments and every single one of them seems to misunderstand the entire concept of this movie. It is the beginning of Bond...how is that difficult to understand? This is not supposed to have a traditional Bond feel until the very end when he has finally become James Bond. There is no Q because would you really trust a new agent with all of the top of the range gadgets. Yes he crashed his car....that makes him a bad Bond??? No, it was either crash the car or mush up the Bond girl. The vodka-martini joke...just another way of showing that James Bond hasn't found his way yet. This was a very well made movie and I am confused about how people can say it had no storyline. It had probably the most complex storyline of all the Bond movies, rather than merely building up a story to a point with a sufficient environment to use a Bond gadget. Please don't even comment on the movie unless you are smart enough to understand it.
