Best New Bond

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2007)

Minimal...I agree Shawn...and it works. This Bond kept me involved all the way through, at 145, it didn't seem that long to me, I was wanting more in fact. There was a balance at all levels, exotic bkgds, co-actors and the star, except for the poker scenes...this bond is more internal than most bonds, especially compared to Connery (the king of Bonds) who never showed any emotion, only when he grimaces when being hit. None of the previous Bonds could have realistically done all the action in this movie, and that is what we want, action, smart action isn't it? If I had to complain, I'd wish for better ending. Looking forward to the next one indeed.
