First off, this is so true: "Craig is finally allowed to play a complete 007." Before, we got to see an origin story. Which is fun. And, in a sense, this is much of the same. But this is definitely a BOND film...James has lost his spots. <br /><br />Also, interesting note about the earpiece. I wasn't even thinking about it until you brought it up! I guess that's why they had him drop it off with Eve, eh? I think it was just a way to keep M. center stage, but it would be nice to see him flying solo more often.M.

But then, there were many, many inspired touches to this film.<br /><br />I found a couple plot points I felt were head-thunkers--but all in, the story held up well. And the casting was spot-on.<br /><br />Awesome addition to the series!<br /><br />Joe Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01934888560338996348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-32319182768601663182012-11-11T01:06:41.280-05:002012-11-11T01:06:41.280-05:00Thanks!

I just wouldn't like to see people talking in Bond's ear through action sequences to become a norm. As for similarities to previous films, it's got a surprising number of things in common with The Man with the Golden Gun - investigation, location, and character elements.<br /><br />- CodyLife Between Frameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186028067136953502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-15316527526450074342012-11-10T21:25:30.448-05:002012-11-10T21:25:30.448-05:00It was pretty tasty - and a second viewing less th...It was pretty tasty - and a second viewing less than 24 hours later worked just as well. Dame Dench is a hell of an actress - and seems to be a hell of a lady too - being dungeonmaster for her grandkids and feeling bad when they misstep in one of the 007 videogames and Gramma's voice tells them they've failed.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-66107929778217673182012-11-10T11:06:43.140-05:002012-11-10T11:06:43.140-05:00Awesome!
