So I went to see the new James Bond movie over the weekend. The 'blond' bond as he is referred too, Daniel Craig does a good job of rebooting the 007 franchise. The pace of the movie lags in certain places but overall its an excellent movie. Similar to the recent Bourne movies starring Matt Damon. Dame Judi Dench (how does one get anointed a dame I wonder) puts Bond in his place from time to time in an effort to get him to be more stealth than brute. The opening sequence highlights this stealth vs brute method. A Bond opening sequence is always action packed and this time its a frenetic chase featuring the running style called free running. To watch Sebastien Foucan jump from wall to wall, thru objects like he's Super Mario is truly the most interesting 'special effect' in the movie, as its all effort and camera work. If you get a chance you should go see the movie purely for this opening sequence. Though you won't be disappointed if you stick around for the 2.5 hours.
