I dont think it counts to add Seen It, when its been watched with the ads on the telly. I'm not really a Bond follower, I think the films are a little too long, but this one kept my half attention when on one of the more recent Bond seasons on ITV.
Rated 9/10This was amazing. Such a kick up the bum for the whole franchise! Daniel Craig really jumped into the role and the initial free-running scene was breathless!
It was good that it started over (I hate the term "reboot" but that is what it was, I suppose). Very close to the book as well, of course.
The stunt where Bond's car veers off the road, to avoid running Vesper over, grabbed the record for the lmost rolls!
The kind of gambling they used for LeChiffre here was "shorting" a stock. Something that was controversial with those who knew the stock market. However how many people actually understood what that meant?
Another theme was sabotaging this largest plane of its kind. I saw this as a reference to the Ukrainian Antonov transport, which project I suspect was sabotaged when a plane carrying all its engineers to a meeting in Georgia or thereabouts crashed mysteriously in real life.
