Brilliant film, but the film's not Bond.

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2006)

James Bond is completely reinvented in this outing, the prequel.
The film displays all the action, the sex and the suave we've come to expect... but despite this... it's not quite hit the mark of a true Bond classic.
The major lull is in what's Bond is famed for... where are his gadgets, and what happened to the star's the car? Yes, the film is brilliant, and very flash, but it's Die Hard, it's certainly not Bond.
Still, a must see for action lovers and Bond fans alike, but true Bond addicts may feel this film is lacking.
(And if I were Aston, I would be majorly unimpressed with how long the car features in the film for to say it's one of the biggest forward-advertised product placements!)
