Not for Bond fans!

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2012)

I have never been a James Bond fan but as I had some free time on the first day of release took the opportunity to see this film and decide for myself before any critics ruined it for me. So I took my open mind and my partner to the cinema and what a treat we had in store. From the first scene I was hooked into the story. Judi Dench was fabulous as M, showing both steel & vulnerability and Daniel Craig gave a stellar performance as the flawed hero. There was plenty of eye candy for me and action for us both and I was impressed with the pace of the story and the quality of the dialogue. My only minor complaint was the amount of product placement in the first 15 minutes made me feel like I was still watching the pre-film adverts but I would definitely say this is a film for any action film fans, not just James Bond fanatics!
