More than any other in the series this film feels like the most conscious effort to transition the character of Bond to a new interpretation. There's no sexy lady (unless you count Dame Judi as one) Bond pretends to fawn over. No cheesy gadgets. No bawdy one-liners. Just a wounded and gritty secret agent with a gun and a car and an enemy and a mission. And probably portrays Bond as a more round and nuanced human being than any of the rest that just make him into a charicature of himself. Great job at being something old and something new at once. But if you're looking for classic Bond persona, this one will probably just piss you off. Story: 6...recycled from Goldeneye basically, but without the EMPs Script: 8 Performances: 8 Misc.: 7 Influence: 8
