The new bond is good! He is violent, rough and a fighter. The movie opens in black and white and them moves onto to color when Bond gets his double “o” satatus.

The stunts were amazing, the action hard and fast (the best fight is in the stairwell. The best chase is in the beginning of the movie). This movie is his first mission and THERE IS NO CGI! Explosions — yes. Action — heaps. Storyline — nice.

With all James Bond movies, the opening has women dancing (usually shadows) and sexy images all over the place with the huge long list of credits; but not this one. This JB opened with images on cards and no sexy women. And I think I know why but can’t tell you as it is part of the plot.

And it is filled with one-liners.

This is a great JB movie, but it lacks the greatness of the former Bond, Pierce Brosnan.
