Just saw this last weekend. I gotta say I loved it. Every second. Bond is back in a big way. To bring a deluded hollywoodized wreck of a franchise back the way they did? Not easy. Points to consider:
-Bond is conflicted, arrogant, and sometimes wrong. In other words, human.
-Darker film, Bond is a secret agent, but make no mistake, he is also an assassin.
-No big unbelieveable hollywood blockbuster crap stunts. No hot air ballons, no hovercrafts etc..
-The story is top notch, liked it alot and thought it was well played.
-There's some definite brutality to the fights. Banging down stairs, blood, very cool, for spoiler reasons I will not go futher.
-A torture scene that made me wince, Hostel doesn't hold a candle to it.
Is Craig the best Bond? No, but if he pulls it off again he will be.
Dope flick, 7 thumbs up.
