Believable Bond

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2006)

Saw it twice to insure my first impressions were correct. I made sure that the viewings were a week apart. This is a Bond that I actually believed could kill someone. Bond is an assassin plain and simple. If you like the book Bond, you will love this movie. If you are more a movie Bond fan, then this Bond will fall short in your eyes. Now that they have done all the books (if not in plot line, in title), it will be interesting to see what story line the writers come up with. I also love the chemistry between Bond and Vesper. It was also nice the way the director told the audience each character's background. It was also gratifying to be able to see some of the events of the book in the movie. I believed the director and writers did an excellent job of taking a book from the 50s and updating it.
