A very Good Bond

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2008)

My girlfriend took me to see this film for my birthday. I was a bit unsure of the film at first but decided to give it a try.
The first 3 mins were amazing and secured the greatness of the film. It's not supposed to be an all guns blazing action film. This is showing how 007 started out. As a junior Civil Servant in MI6 and was thrust into this situation. It shows how he coped with it, the mistakes he made and how he learnt to turn off his feelings at the end of the film.
The people that don't like this film don't seem to get that it's his first proper double 0 mission. Craig is a brilliant Bond and I am pleased that he doesn't make those stupid cheesy comments all the way through.
I am also pleased that it sticks to the book very well, but it has been brought up to date. brilliant! The only thing I do have against this film is "Vesper" has all the sex appeal of a cabbage. But then the stuck up type is not my thing....
It is a brilliant film and has the suspense and drama and the action that I would expect from a Bond film.
At least in this one Bond is not surfing down a tidal wave on a piece of roof after an evil North Korean general blasted part of the North Pole into the water using his space laser... that would just be stupid!!!!! A must see!!!
