Saw this way back when...

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2013)

I saw this back when it came out, when I was just barely a teenager. Rewatching it I certainly appreciated it more and I think it's as adult- oriented as a Bond film can be. I definitely think it's better than Quantum, which I just saw for the first time, and on the same level as Skyfall. It's certainly the most well-paced one, and the opening 20 minutes are extremely riveting and suspenseful, everything a film like this should be. There aren't many complaints to be had, and Eva Green is also fantastic here. She lights up the screen. Perhaps Craig wasn't as comfortable with the role here and he certainly gets better as his films go along, but you can't go that much better than this.
