Ian's 1st novel introduces us to a newly appointed "00" 7....

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2006)

Forget everything you know about the films. This film is the first in the "new" Bond series. The first 1/3 of this film, I was sorely disappointed. The next 3rd, I accepted what they were trying to accomplish.The final minutes I rejoiced in the fact that this bond is about the "story", not the gadgets or some Ubervillian. Some people cannot handle a new beginning-watch the posting boards on this flick, but give it a chance and pretend you've never seen Bond before. You'll truly love it. I cannot wait for the next installment. Perhaps the reintroduction of more gadgets? Maybe a few more MI6 characters New century-new Bond...Nuf said.
