Do you want to know a secret? This is the first Bond film I?ve ever watched at the cinema! Shock! I grew up watching all the repeats ov TV and have watched each film many times over but I guess when I did get the chance to watch the later films I didn?t really fancy it and would prefer to wait ?til they?re on DVD or on TV, but for this one I thought I?d make the effort.
I guess the real plus for me in the way that this Bond has shaped out is that that he has more of a vulnerability about him in that he doesn?t have this bulletproof demeanor about him which previous Bonds have. He knows that he could die and that the lives of ?Double-O? agents are notoriously short. Another plus is the villains in the film and their motivation, which is not for world domination or vendettas but purely for money and trading on international conflict.
So all in all not a bad Wednesday night.
It?s a great film. No question.
?Tis indeed. The whole retcon thing is a bit odd though isn?t it? Guess they had to do it.
I can?t recall now if I ever saw a Bond film in the theaters or not. I think I may have. Hm.
This one sounds promising. I rather like the concept of the criminals being purely mercenary instead of bent on world domination. It sounds like a great film.
