Right up there with Casino Royale

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2016)

Oh yes! What a great James Bond film. I mean, it wasn't THAT great, but then again, most James Bond films are a bit rubbish. In a charming, fun way though.
Christoph Waltz played a great Bond villain in this one. The opening scene was also good, and it had a lovely selection of action sequences and great moments. Also an epic final scene. And one of my new favourite lines ever.
"But isn't that what M stands for? Moron?" "Well now we know what C stands for..." Shots definitely fired. But then he had to go and ruin it by saying, "Careless." Still, we were all thinking the same thing, weren't we.
I did feel the film dragged on now and then, and some parts I really just couldn't care less. But it definitely does have some of the classic James Bond magic, and easily makes Skyfall and Quantom of Solace seem a bit crap in comparison really. For me, almost as good as Casino Royale. Still nothing particularly amazing. 7/10.
