Best Bond, with a decades-plethora of memories

Rating: 9/10 (21 November 2013)

'I like you bettah without your Beretta'...he says gently into Severin's left ear in the shower, and her reply: 'I feel naked without it...' With that kind of scene dialogue, and almost half-way through the film, you'll eventually begin to realize you're watching not only a subtler and more refined version of earlier Bond films, but a new genre of them: more seductive musical scores, better background scenery and fewer external distractions which stay tighter with the anticipated action - and impeccably filmed and edited scenes. Nevertheless, your memory will recognize the initial intent within any Bond film: to alert, instantly, on the dramatic - and which exercises one's heart to full capacity in one of the finest movie series ever to hit the big screen.
