A great film; a good Bond film.

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2006)

I can understand that many die-hard Bond fans may not enjoy this perhaps as much as the previous ones. But it is an excellent film nonetheless, and i think it's an excellent Bond film. It's got everything a bond film needs:
-Bond girls - Eva Green as Vesper Lynd is the hottest thing alive. no exceptions. -Cars - the A.M of course. -Action - the chase and fighting is second to none.
But not only that, there is such magnificent wit that made me laugh out loud literally - Along with most others in the cinema.Anyone that says this has no humour in it was clearly not watching the same film i was. It does indeed differ in style and theme from the last film, but it takes Bond in a slightly new direction for once. And i find it refreshing to say the least. The opening grimy black and white perfectly reflects Ian Fleming's 1950's depiction of Bond's world. then we're met with jaw dropping chase scenes to bring us into the present.
I suggest you give this a chance. Even you don't take it as a Bond film and on it's own merits, it's still a brilliant ride.
