Bond...

Saw Bond tonight, and I must admit it lived up to the hype. It's the best Bond flick in a long time. Daniel Craig is a great Bond, in fact he's my favourite since Timothy Dalton. It's a darker, crueler Bond. Point of fact is while Pierce was good, he wasn't great, and perhaps the fault lies with the screenwriters he had. But Bond is back to basics, and the series has been necessarily revitalized. The writing was sharp (dialogue between 2 leads Craig and Green especially), acting was top notch. Women were gorgeous as were the locations. Action scenes were tense and displayed the hand-to-hand combat that Bond flicks are famous for.

Yes, it was a little long. That much is quite clear. Cut 10-15 minutes out and I think you've got a classic. It could not have ended on a better note (I got chills), and I will eagerly be awaiting the next installment.

Taking a day off today. Partying hard tonight. See you there.
