That's never happened to me with a film before, ever.So, we eventually got to see it last night, and we both thought it was a fantastic bond film. As my wife said, it was nice to see an 'intelligent' bond who was good at making snap decisions. I can't see what all the fuss about blonde hair was, because at best it looked mousey brown; if he had been Scandinavian blonde it would have looked a bit strange, but as it was - no problem.We enjoyed the believability of the villains, the sparkiness of the dialog, and the little winks they put into the script - whether it was Richard Branson at the airport, or Bond rising out of the sea (instead of a girl rising out of the sea), or Bond winning the Aston Martin.Product placement was a little on the heavy side (Sony Ericsson anyone?) but overall my favourite spy film yet.(My favourite spy production ever was probably the four-part TV miniseries Brotherhood of the Rose, FWIW).Cheers</blockquote>
