 Good film but with some inconsistant image quality May 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First of all let me say that I think this is a great Bond film. Not that some earlier ones weren't, they were good for their era but it seems that now 'we' want a gritty hero, not a romantic vision of a spy.
In that I think DC plays the role very well.
What did surprise me was that some of the film displayed poor image quality. The part that springs to mind is the scene in the embassy courtyard. The camera switches from Bond to his persuers and back and forth again.
The change in definition quality changes dramaticaly between one and the other camera shot. I thought I must have a fault but a friend at work had noticed the same thing. Strange for a recent film to have this problem.
Probably a case that the two camera angles were shot at completely different times/location with different equipment and one was inferior to the other.
Still, a great Bond film.
 I am not a fan of Daniel Craig as bond. April 29, 2008

I personally thought the idea of where to take the Bond franchise was very clever, reboot it with less sillyness. However casting DC was in my opinion a very poor move. To each thier own though. So that aside how is the movie, its ok except for the over long love plot which slows the movie down too much. Other niggles include keeping supporting cast from the Brosnan era when the franchise has been rebooted, why? it is too strong a connection with the older movies. That aside the tone is darker than most bond films and the action is excellent.
Is it an essential blu ray purchase? only if you like DC as bond. However it is a good looking film and is enhanced by the format.
A must buy for Blu Ray February 25, 2008

This is an excellent film and a must have if you own a PS3 (or other Blu Ray player) and a HDTV. The difference in picture quality between this and a normal DVD is amazing, you can see little details on everything. It makes every scene of the movie look like a work of art, the definition on even the smallest details such as scars on people's faces or the bricks on the wall is jaw-dropping. As for the movie, well it's most likely the best bond movie ever, there are some impressive set pieces, and some pretty intense moments that seemed to be lacking in some of the more recent bond films. Daniel Craig fits the part perfectly and has made this role his own.
