Bond...New Bond

Saw it tonight, it was great. I was really, really dubious about the new Bond, but he is excellent. I am a bit disturbed at the apparent "do over" of the entire franchise by effectively portraying the new Bond as just starting his double-knot career, in modern times, and with a female M (although Dame Judy is, as usual, most excellent). There was no Q, no up-play of gizmos, and very little Bond humor...but still, a wonderful job has been done in the overhaul of the franchise.

Bond 2006 is meaner, a more steely-eyed killer, less suave and debonaire, but still 100% Bond. As a lifelong Bond fan, I'm giving this one a 9 out of 10.
