I've not seen all the Bond films. Of the ones I've seen, I've enjoyed them.
This one I LOVED.
One thing that really bothers me about contemporary action movies (that are not sci-fi or fantasy) is the overuse of CGI to make the action look incredible. I don't want to see action that's so incredible it's impossible and ridiculous. The stunts were amazing and intense. The sheer physicality of it all - THIS was an action movie. The opening sequence is one of the best ever captured on film. Love that crazy French dude.
And Daniel Craig...ah, how I thought he was talented and dishy in Sylvia. He's pretty weighty in everything he does, save Tomb Raider. Guess I'm going to have to rent Layer Cake, after all.
More Craig Bond. More!
Dench also was given some wonderful opening dialogue.
