Awesome

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2006)

The best Bond film so far - truly does what Batman Begins did for Batman, without doing what Superman Returns did (which for me, was to disappoint due to a missed opportunity). It is a long film that does not feel long - the poker match is truly thrilling, and the action sequences are outstanding.
Plot is great, and even suggests it will carry on next time, which will hopefully prevent the past mistake of remaking the exact same film each time but with bigger explosions.
The sense of reality is what makes it so worth while. For the first time in a long time (if ever, really) you actually feel that Bond is a real person, and that his mission is (almost) plausible. I say almost because I doubt if MI6 would cut off a terrorist's funds by playing cards against them, but it is not so ridiculous that you are unwilling to suspend disbelief.
Extremely stylish, truly well directed, brilliant acting, and Daniel Craig NAILS Bond.
Could not have asked for more. After DAD I thought maybe they should stop making Bonds. How wrong could I be? This time around, I cannot WAIT until 2008.
