Just saw this film with DTS surround at my multiplex and I was really impressed. This has got to be one of the best bond films for a while! And this time Bond really goes through some troubled times. Some of the special effects are almost as bad as ones seen in Indian films, but don't let that trouble you as the FX are there not to impress but to entertain, and it does so quite well.
The film has many wonderful scenes such as;
- The car chase in Iceland
- Halle Berry rising from the shores in her opening scene
- Set designs of the space centre build of ice, the weapon used by the villain is quite cool.
- The fencing seqeunce with Bond and the Villain.
- Also a nice little scene with Bond and Moneypenny in the end of the film was one that got a massive response and a round of applause from the audience.
A special mention must go to the opening credits which are one of the best I have ever seen on cinema, since Hitchcock's Vertigo!! It actually made the audience shocked in the cinema showing I went to as they was expecting a typical bond credit seqeunce with figures of thin woman dancing around a bond figure!! This is not what you get here and I won't ruin the little surprise. This film is one of the darkest films in the 007 Series, almost similar to License to kill, in terms of its violent mood and tone.
Direction and screenplay is good, although the film is a tad long in places and could have done with some editing. The new bond gadget, an "invisable car" was not as plausible as the past gadgets. However the way the car was used to kill the henchmen was quite clever.
Overall: Recommend to anyone who likes a good action film. If your looking for sex, guns, cars, explosions and a man in a suit..you won't be disspointed.
