I developed a BOND with this movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2012)

Okay, that was bad. This movie, however, was most definitely not! I'm saying this as a guy who had never seen a Bond film before - sue me. I knew who the guy was though - who didn't? I went into this movie expecting a pretty good spy film...
...And finished in awe of what it had done. Okay, first off, let's talk about Daniel Craig. First thing I said when I was told Daniel Craig was in this film? "Who's Daniel Craig?" Nevertheless, he was fantastic in this film. Eva Green, as well, was very good (I had never heard of her), as was most of the cast. Mads Mikkelsen...funny name, great actor.
The best thing about this film, in my opinion, is the TENSION. Every single poker match, I was on the edge of my seat. If I had a knife...well, I wouldn't want to cut my TV, so I wouldn't try to cut the tension, but you now what I mean. I COULD if I wanted to. The action scenes were also very well done.
I thought it was a great film, but I did have some minor issues that kept me from giving it a 10/10. I thought the pacing was strange - it was very good pacing, the film went along at a good pace. However, it was just a little odd, and I questioned the needs for certain scenes. I also thought a few certain moments happened a bit too fast and abruptly, but perhaps that was the style of this film.
However, definitely go see it - not if you like action films, or if you like Bond films, but if you like movies in general! It's great.
