Fleming's Bond is here...

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2006)

This movie brings to light what Ian Fleming originally intended with 007. Bond is gritty, cold, raw, young, naive, and a wonderful character to watch as this movie leaves the traditional trend of stand-alone Bond movies with a minute cliff-hanger at the end, giving this movie a sense of reality that few of its predecessors have been able to create.
While this movie is much less predictable and much more dramatic, there are some occasional flaws that can be easily overlooked or ignored. Despite some inconsistencies with the other 007 movies, (considering that this is really a prequel of sorts), as well as some corny moments, the movie is much more of an edge-of-your-seat type of film than has been the norm with 007 movies of the past.
This movie is less kid-friendly than those of the past, with sexual innuendos and torturous violence that giving this movie a different feel than those of the past, (as well as general violence, adult themes, partial nudity, typical 007 attributes). However, writing as a teenager myself, this movie is thrilling and a must-see for Bond fans everywhere.
As a Bond fanatic myself, this movie is highly recommended!
