The Classic Bond, But Much Better

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2006)

Okay, kiddies, listen up, because I hardly ever give movies perfect scores. This movie is perhaps the best 007 movie ever. Daniel Craig puts all the other Bonds to shame, with the perfect mixture of sex appeal, good acting, and let's just face it, he looks damn good holding a gun! This installment's Bond girl, Eva Green, does a great job. The villain, Mads Mikkelsen, definitely played his role properly. There is a particularly good scene, with Bond frantically trying to save himself after being poisoned via martini. It teaches you that if you ever are playing a high stakes poker game, and someone put poison in your drink, all you have to do is dump a whole salt shaker in a glass of water, throw up, and find yourself a defibrillator and a handy syringe of antidote. The opening scene and sequence completely blew me away. The classic "Bond Song" was paired with a great sequence of silhouettes and playing cards. This movie is definitely the best action movie I have ever seen.
