A splendid time to be had!

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2006)

And lo, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth when Brother Daniel was revealed as the latest incarnation of our beloved Bond and many sleepless nights were spent in the firmament for the want of a dark-haired soul or two who might lay siege to our imagination in the playing of the part.
Yet it came to pass that, upon partaking of the viewing (over 2hrs at the price and a bargain, to be sure), many people, self included, were heard to mutter up their sleeves "Bloody 'ell, he's not half bad, that young chap from across the road", for 'twas so, that was where he had lived for many years of his youthful times.
And so, I beseech thee, fellow believers of the Bond, mock ye not in haste and take ye to a place of the worshipful celluloid, for verily, ye ain't seen nothing 'til ye have dipped thy toes in the cool waters of the new Bond. Here endeth the lesson.
