A new James Bond movie is always a small event.
I thought the last one was a bit rubbish and originally I wasn't too thrilled to go see this one but the enormously positive buzz around it finally won me over.
And I have to admit that this is one of the best action movie I've seen in a while.
It manages very succesfully to be a authentic Bond movie (with gadgets, lots of varied & colourful locations, a lot of action, women...) and still manages to break the mould and renew the franchise, thanks to bold choices.
As has been said everywhere, Bond's character is a lot more "on the edge", making up for a grittier and more violent atmosphere.
The plot is entertaining, making room for set pieces that, although being quite over the top, never seem too much of a stretch (unlike the later Brosnans) and refuses any final climax, which is brave.
The cast is excellent, Daniel Craig is perfect for the role, Mad Mikkelsen makes a charismatic villain and Eva Green impersonnate a sensitive & multilayered Bond girl...
So all in all, I'd say that this is a movie that reminded me of the early Sean Connerys (which still stands a my favorite Bond), while adding something new and interesting to the character. So it gives one of the best Bonds ever made...
I'm quite looking forward to seeing what they will do next! :)
