Pretty darn good.

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2006)

I went with my girlfriend and saw this on Saturday. I am a long time Bond fan and have been with him from the beginning. Since my girl and I are both old timers 55+ we may have a different perspective than all the kids who might see this. There was plenty of action but not all the blow up special effects you would expect in a Bond movie and I thought it was for the better. I thought Craig is a great Bond, maybe as good as Sean Connery but we'll have to see him in a few more before we'll be able to make that claim He is a BAD DUDE so villains beware. The few things I was a little disappointed with was no Miss Money Penny or Q. To me they're a must. Also I still can't get used to Judi Dench as M. No offense to her, but she just doesn't fit. Anthony Hopkins or Michael Cain would work much better. I recommend the film highly, there's plenty of action and the locations were great. Frank.
