Best Bond yet

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2007)

I have seen most of the James Bond series but I have to say this was by far the most engrossing. I was thoroughly entertained throughout. There were enough twists and unknowns to keep me on the edge of my seat. Some purists may complain of to serious of a plot for the Bonds series. My opinion is there was just enough lightness and unreal action to keep it to its form.
The movie still managed to maintain the European flavor that transcends most of the Bond movies which adds to its fantasy like appeal.
The star is a superb actor and takes you on a ride thoroughly convincing one of his plight.
Some of the scenes were truly terrifying and the fight scenes made real by the stars near but not unreal abilities in character.
Not to forget the co-star who is a superb actress herself and made me believe her until Bond gave her the key and the phone rang.
I look forward to the next.
