Back to Bond basics, kicking butt and not using a rubber

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2006)

I have not left a theater so thoroughly satisfied by an amazing film in years. CR best bond film since Goldeneye, and in the running for one of best bond films period. Craig as bond rocked, as he was understated for the most part but sold it when the chips were down, pun intended. Not a spoiler, the action was realistic, I was happy that there were no silly kung fu theatrics. The villains were scary and realistic. The writing was perfect, witty without being corny. I was thrilled to see an action film that returned to the formula of great fight scenes, thrilling chases, and plenty of bad guys getting smoked. THe writers did an excellent job of leaving us wanting more for the next bond thriller. I have great hopes for the future of the franchise.
