This Bond film does not let the series down, back to basics somewhat, but that's not so bad. Good ride for 2 hours to escape work. Cheers, Robin.
I also like the return to story lines that have a basis in the possibility of happening. While I love sci-fi, mixing it completely with the secret agent genre requires a complete suspension of belief. One of the things I really liked about the early Connery films was the ability to believe the story, especially 'From Russia, with Love'. Outer space battles are better left to Star Trek type shows. Now, I realize that James Bond is not realistic in the sense of straight drama, but I do have to be able to believe it to some degree. -- AlI agree with Robin. Back to basics is good as I was never a fan of the space ship type Bonds with
invisible cars etc.
Maybe one of the best Bond films since Sean Connery. I like the way they rebooted the series with the old familiar characters. I read somewhere that this is Daniel Craig's last Bond movie though.
