Put simple: This is the best James Bond movie ever! Oh I know, some of you will think this heresy. That no one compares to almighty Sean Connery and some of the early movies. I don’t care. I’ve seen them all and I say without hesitation: this is the best Bond movie ever made.

The action sequences are fantastic, the poker scenes are great, the villains are excellent, the plot is nice and richer than most, the music sets the mood just right, the scenery is great, the cars stand out as usual, the women are fine, and Daniel Craig is excellent as James Bond.

After a long period of a watered down, sugary Bonds, we’re back to what these movies should be all about: we’re talking a double O, a spy with a license to kill. Killing humans is not fun; it’s gritty, it’s dark, and it’s serious. Also, Bond should never have been intimidated by the feminism movement, and in this version, Bond is back to being a user of people, including women, to complete his mission. He’s also a man, so he’s not above misjudgments. Even the one-liners in this movie are excellent, not corny.

All and all, this is not just the best James Bond movie ever; this is an all around excellent action/adventure film. If you like intense action, great stunts, measured humor, intrigue, fancy cars, sexy women, great scenery, luxurious settings, a great villain, a pounding sound track, and acting that’s sharp, all well stirred together, without the fruit, this is the movie to see!
