I didn’t expect to like this, and yet I did! My sister insisted that we watch it on our “Movie Monday” and since we are often watching my movie choices I agreed. The only James Bond movie I had ever seen was Dr. No, so I really wasn’t expecting something this good. Sure, I don’t really care for battles and pursuits usually, but the ones in this movie were really good (also, not often in cars, watching cars following each other is so boring).

I also was very surprised by the dialogue, that I found quite good. I expected it to be cheesy and cliché but it really wasn’t – I especially liked Bond and Vesper’s banter, which was really sexy yet believable. I loved the Vesper character in general. The near-final scene, with the crumbling house (trying not to give too much away here!) was pretty amazing. I also loved the animated intro.

So to sum up, I loved it! A great surprise!
