The Name is Bond... Raw & Pulse Racing!

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2006)

I tried to watch this movie on its first day of release but due to prior commitments had to wait till Sunday. However, to watch the new Bond turned out to be the best thing to get the blood racing in my lazy Sunday morning veins.
The movie is terrific for its edge of the seat action sequences, slick editing and moreover presenting a bond who often gets bruised, bleeds and keeps falling in and out of trouble. Hey! even his heart stops beating for a few seconds. But in true Ian Fleming style, he keeps coming back to ask for more.
No fancy gadgets here a move I welcome, since it gets replaced by in-the-face punches, crazy jumps and even crazier stunts. Add to it a couple of pretty bond females, exotic locales, and an Aston Martin DB 9 that makes space for a defibrillator machine! What more can one wish for?
Can't say much for those who did not enjoy this effort. Perhaps they prefer a tailor made James Bond who plays more with gadgets & gizmos like an infatuated schoolboy rather than a hard core 007 who makes no bones about what he is. Simply in your face Take it or leave it.
As for me... I recommend this flick for anyone who likes Bond... raw and pulse racing.
