Incredible, back to the old days of cinema

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2006)

I had my doubts, before seeing the movie, wondered if it is going to be another stupid action flick as those with Brosnan, only this time with a good actor, on par with Connery or Moore. Hollywood these day is mostly just mindless, stereotypical action and witless dialogs.
This Bond is everything that describes the opposite. Its witty, the fast paced scenes and slow ones are in very good balance and either being an action scene or a slow scene, it never ever gets boring or unimaginative. There are numerous funny and witty remarks and associations placed very delicately, precisely and do not stand out intrusively. Everything is done with quality in mind, in good taste. The word original can be even used, word that can be very seldom said about most Hollywood movies. It remains an action flick, its far from being a complex drama with a moral underlying the story. The movies gives us hope that mainstream action films can still be breathtakingly good. Oh, there are a few some advertisements for certain items placed strategically and an unnecessary or misplaced line here or there but that could be called nitpicking.
All in all this Bond is incredibly good and I hope the sequels well follow in its footsteps.
