I came to this movie having read all the other reviewers and had high hopes. If there is an action flick out there, I've seen it, and yes, this movie lives up to the hype. Very good, (not exellent like the Bourne movies, almost like a Bourne Lite). The action moves, and your kept on your feet thinking along with the character.
Without a doubt one of the best of the Bond series. It is definitly a change from the past Bond movies, but very much like the Bourne movies, this is non stop action. From the moment the movie opens with a thrilling car chase to a white knuckle plane chase over Bolivia. The ending seemed like they needed to wrap it up at a "Dr Evil" type lair, but, in the end, it was worth the ride.
This movie by far excceded all my expectations!! It was fun, exciting, and just the perfect, popcorn eating, big screen blasting summer movie. I no longer go to the movies unless it is a movie that needs to be seen on the big screen, and this is one of them!! Robert Downy Jr is perfectly cast in this movie and makes it fun! It's tough to walk out of that theater without a grin on your face.
MOST IMPORTANT if your a comic book fan...STAY THROUGH ALL THE CLOSING CREDITS for a suprise!!!
