I am not usually of the type to watch new movie in its first week of release. But I got some free tickets to watch the night show of the the new movie on its second day and it wasn't disappointing. Having seen quite a number of Bond movies, I was keen to know how this movie has been made. If you wish to watch, please don't miss the first 20 minute of action - stunt thought in a different way, well planned and executed.
This movie was fresh and I saw a Bond next to Sean Connery who had a good physique compared to other Bond heroes - Roger Moore who was bit old looking and Timothy / Brosnan who were soft. The stunts Craig does seem to fit his age and body physique.
The little unusual thing about the new Bond was that he was always serious and little stiff; one can see a mischevious smile - a kind of cool and casual attitude reflected in all Bond movies. Probably the story line / Ian Fleming drew his character that way. So if you get time or ticket, don't miss watching this.
Trivia I observed:
Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines is appearing in a scene as a passenger being checked at airport security. I read that the scene was cut, but I did see him in the movie although it just appears as a shot taken when the camera sweeps over the place.
The signature Bond music doesn't appear at the start, but only during the creditsOn a personal note: I have just broken the shackles of keeping my blog idle for a long time and I hope to update it atleast once a week from now on :-)
