Best Bond movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 December 2006)

To put it bluntly - this is the best Bond movie. However, some knowledge of the Bond formula is required to fully enjoy it, so don't count them out! This movie has plenty to offer - nice scenery, slick editing, one cool Bond, and superb fast-paced, semi-realistic fight scenes that keep you on your toes! Craig is bad-a%% as Bond (a grittier, more down-to-earth bond mind you), and his lady companion is lovely.
Some people might be put off by the running length and the plentiful poker scenes (Yes - poker - not baccarat. If you know your poker, those scenes are pretty fun to watch, though.). But I think it's so well put together I wouldn't settle for anything else.
Some somewhat confusing scenes and twists (I heard several "What?" and "What's going on?" in the cinema, and a pretty weak bad-guy are what keeps CR from being perfect. Watch it if you are new to Bond, watch it if you like good movies! Welcome back, mister Bond. I've missed you.
9 out of 10
