Went to see the new Bond film at the weekend, and very good it was too. I shudder at the very thought of using a word such as "re-imagining", but that's basically what it is; it's a back-to-basics Bond.
Daniel Craig is superb, as we hoped he would be. With the amount of crap that was thrown his way when he was cast we'd been waiting months to see if he could shut everyone up, and he certainly sticks his fingers up to the naysayers.
It's gritty, the stunts are so much better for their lack of CGI, and the interplay between Craig and Eva (as Vespa Lynd) is brilliantly written.
On the downside it's a good 20 minutes too long. The Boyf had even managed to run out of popcorn - he has a family sized bucket on his own and growls at me should I have the temerity of wanting any. Also, trying to work out who's the bad guy/girl and why made my head hurt, but then I was still getting over an illness. Oh, and try to ignore that bloody awful theme tune. Just sing "Goldfinger" very loudly over the top when it comes on like we did.
Altogether it certainly has the OMO Seal of Approval. Go see it.
