Well what can I say? It sure has been a while. A while since I last did a review and a while since I saw a film this good.
That's a lie. Both Dark knight rises and Prometheus have really impressed me this year, but Bond is unlike any of those.
Without giving anything away, reviewing this film will prove to be hard. As soon as I left the cinema I wanted to talk about it.
Daniel Craig was born for the role of 007. I really can't imagine anyone else as Bond in this film.
Javier Bardem played one hell of a kick ass villain. Scary, comical and dangerous are words you could use to describe his character.
The storyline was gripping, plot was easy to follow and it took the best bits of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace and mashed them together to make the best Bond yet. - decent story and incredible effects.
The script writers brought a comical element back, made easy by the 'comeback' of Q (played excellently by Ben Whishaw).
Incredibly, at the very end, just before the credits, it says 'Bond will return'. A good friend told me that they've not included these words for a while, but they know full well there will be another this time.
I'd describe it as a perfect British film, with the right amount of action, thrills and spills. It goes back to the very roots of Bond and introduces some excellent new characters for films to come. If your idea of Bond is the cars, guns and suits, you definitely won't be disappointed.
Rather than listening to me waffle on, just pay the £10 and go and see it. It was one of the best nights out I've had this year.
IMDB score: 8.2
