As I was lucky enough to get this movie on blu-ray for free from Sony, I had to watch it in high definition. Truly stunning, awesome quality on a pretty good bond movie.
It has enough action in, and is generally a good movie, however I feel that Sony have placed too much in-movie advertising.. the sony viao laptops, the sony ericsson phones, and the sony blu-ray player and discs. But if you're into the movie you wont notice that, it doesnt exactly ruin the movie or anything.
Bond is back and Daniel Craig plays in beautifully, although he's not quite the same 007 as what I am used to.It's the littel things really, for example when he is asked shaken or stirred... shaken right?... no apparently he doesnt give a damn.
The movie gets straight into action, and then calms down, and then action, and calm and then action... it goes up and down over and over. But the ending is good and I'll not give away any spoilers.
Now if I didn't get this free, I wouldn't have bought it... I would have merely rented it as I don't think it is the kind of movie that I could watch over and over again.
