very good

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2012)

It is the 1st time (since a long time) that the cinema was fully booked. It's not without a good reason though as the movie was worth every penny of its ticket. Although he is probably the ugliest of the series, Daniel's 007 incarnation is so believable, that might be the best of all the previous and hopefully he will remain at least another 10 years. This Bond adapted to his time, does a great physical performance, getting injured or having emotions other than those related to bed time. As a spy he uses his charms to accomplish his objectives, but he doesn't carry the girl as a plant all along the movie to keep a romantic attachment. It is very interesting to see this modern approach to women, who have more interesting roles when they have one. I never liked the female M, but she did a great performance. I really appreciated to see the roots of JB, as concerns his life story, but also the iconic references like the old car. Besides, the plot was quite original, as 007 was the hunted instead of the hunter. Finally it was well assembled to the traditional structure with M, Q, Monepenny. It was about time.
