The best Bond ever...

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2006)

Yes, it is gritty, but it is real. Reminiscant of older bonds where Sean Connery might actually be able to do these stunts, this Bond feels like that. Even better, and like the very first Bond, In Her Majesty's Secret Service, character development is superb and you grow with this Bond... learn about him, and like him.
The other bonds are so full of special effects you wonder if sometimes he should have a red cape with a big S on his chest.. more superhero than spy thriller... and villains? Old Bond villains can blow up the world, launch satellites that consume other space craft, and build underwater cities or a city inside a volcano... give me a break.
This villain is real. This guy really exists out there somewhere and he needs a real spy to go get him. Bond is that man.
Too easy to go to spoilers here, but if you want a show where they save the world and bond uses copious gadgets rather than real world guts.. this is not your film.
Love it or hate it, you can't argue that this isn't the real thing.. go Bond go.. I love this style and want to see more.
