Timothy Dalton took over the role for two films, followed by Pierce Brosnan, whose third outing as Bond arrives November in theater. I've always been a big James Bond fan, and have come to realize that Bond is much more than just the actor who plays him. The character is the star, and fortunately the producers haven't embarrassed themselves. Colors are absolutely vibrant, with stunning saturation that is never too hot or cold, plus flesh tones are realistic and pleasing. Blacks are strong and impenetrable, while a clean negative allows for pure whites and shadows.
Depth of field is amazing, going on forever, while attention to detail is immaculate.
Even the smallest details seem solid. There is a very minute amount of flecking, but no compression artifacts or pixelation. Patterns hold up remarkably well, while overall image is genuinely exciting to watch. Color scheme is attractive, including strong blues and yellows. Strong dialogue mix enhances the experience.
