Lots of action, Keeps you guessing to the end.

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2006)

Big departure from previous Bond movies. No silly humor. No silly evil people, plenty of snakes in the grass though! It's actioned packed. The most quiet scenes are during Poker sessions which are interspersed with plenty of action. The opening chase scene is a little too fantastic, the rest of the movie is more reasonable. Bond's scars heal at a truly bond like pace, it wouldn't be bond if it didn't push the envelope a little.
A female M played by Judi Dench is an interesting change also. Bond still has his Aston Martin, equipped with 'believable' gadgets.
This is the best Bond movie I have seen in a long time, I think we can safely say Bond is back!
