I pretty much agree with everything, although I did quite like Naomie Harris despite the quirky Dr Who's assistant vibe.<br /><br />There was a lot of "best Bond EVER" stuff floating around last week, and apart from <i>Casino Royale</i> perhaps, with which it can only really sensibly be compared, I think it <b>is</b> the best, because, well, most of them don't really age very well, do they? And here, with the determined no gadget brief, they're definitely trying to pull away from the old skool Bonds beyond the occasional use of visual and aural iconography.<br /><br />One last thing, doesn't it look amazing? Roger Deakins is fantastic. The neon-flooded empty room scene was amazing, and then he goes to Scotland and you genuinely feel soaked through and cold.amnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401557388258595506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-11362921930618834512012-10-27T17:51:15.487+01:002012-10-27T17:51:15.487+01:00Nice piece Ken, I agree with the points you raise,...Nice piece Ken, I agree with the points you raise, especially about the girls (now known as women).<br /><br />There is more I want to say, but I can't without highlighting some of the plot.<br /><br />Safe to say, it was a return to a more tradition incarnation of Bond, with a wink towards his functionality in the modern world considering age and the expectations of his role and the need for it.<br /><br />I liked the default setting. I'll say no more.<br /><br />My lad loved it and filled me in on all the narrative nods towards previous films.<br /><br />Like you, I love Daniel Craig now, probably more so than all of the others who have played the role before him as he is a more accessible Bond in every sense.<br /><br />I would like to see it again and probably will.<br /><br />Roll credits.<br />Holly Searlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694039653457405767noreply@blogger.com
