its bond before before the cool kicked in.

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2006)

The storyline is well thought out but not translated to film with the same punch as say the last film. It did bring a darker, grittier yet more realistic feel to the series.
Now for the new Bond himself. Buff, young, charismatic. Call me shallow, but Bond is not blond haired and blue eyed. The whole movie, I felt as though I was watching a Russian spy,( Ivan Bondsky ). I wish him luck, maybe the rest of the world isn't as shallow as I am.
I thought Judy Dench really did a good job as M once again. I did miss our tour down into of bowel's MI-6 to see our favorite inventor, Q. Granted, Bond had great cars in this film, but none of the over the top gadgetry. Like I said, Bond went out with realistic equipment that he could have bought online now.
