Saw it today, and it exceeded my expectations

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2006)

Have seen all the Bonds at least 2 times. Agree on that Sean Connery was the best of Bonds. I was one of those who thought that Daniel Craig would'n even match the standart of Pierce Brosnan. I was wrong. And thats good.
In my opinion this was the first Bond (of the last decade, starting from Goldeneye) movie without that predictable shining (with all those unreal gadgets etc). No more Bond is unbeatable and without feelings. First Bond movies with real life emotions (for example, shower scene). That is what i was missing. OK, you can say - Bond is about girls, action and nice blow-ups, but in my opinion - Bond is that Cool guy, who not only can shoot and love all the woman he likes... He's smart, confident and with feelings.
If you like big blow ups and unreal shooting, maybe this is not for you (i'm not saying that there were no shooting at all :)).
Finally i can call James Bond a real movie, not with an advertisement packed (how many were there...hundred+ brand names to stick it in your face) blowup like Die Another Day.
I liked it, recommend to all.
P.S. Sorry for my English.
