Bond movies were at their pinnacle in the sixties. They were creative, innovative and original. Beginning in the 70’s they started borrowing from the genres de jour - in the latest installment they seem to be borrowing heavily from the Bourne movies. The latest version has a thin plot and weak characters.
Who cares? I still enjoyed it. Favorite scene - the rooftop chase. Bonus scene - get to see a $200,000 car get demolished in the opening scene. Also, it's good to see Bond back to being a ruthless killer (like Connery was). Need to shop around for a better villain Though...
