Newcomers to the Bond series would find this movie very entertaining and would likely adapt quickly to the changes in characters. Veteran Bond fans might find this movie somewhat akin to the more recent Star Wars series where the older story line was set against a much higher level of technology. Nonetheless, this Bond film is one of the best ever in terms of special effects, action and incredible photography. Right from the graphics behind the credits at the beginning of the film, one could see that an emphasis has now been placed on the art of the movie as well as its content and special effects. There were numerous unusual and interesting camera angles coupled with very dynamic lighting that made this movie visually intriguing far beyond the story line. The story line itself was well done, providing a necessary bridge between the two film excursion (Casino Royale, Quantum Solace) and the original Bond film (Dr. No. ). The stunts were excellent and met or exceeded the expectations set so highly by Bond films. Some changes have been made to the cast and overall interactions of the movie. The old days of one-liners and quips appear to be fading and the new Bond emerges as a terrier of hunting down diabolical madmen. A new "Que" will satisfy most of the newer generation by demonstrating computing prowess. In short, it was a very exciting and gripping experience. If this is where the new Bond is headed, I think we can expect another 50 years of high-quality entertainment.
