Bond in action

Halle Berry as Jinx
The names Hannah... Hannah Tunnicliffe and Guess what? I'm fresh from watching the new Bond film Die Another Day!

This film, like all the others comprises of 99.9% of cheese! As usual him and his counterparts manage to turn even the most mundane of subjects into a sexual innuendo! It comprises of the usual story line. James saving the world from destruction, with a couple of hotties on the way to keep him amused. This time though James is out for revenge after being captured and slapped around for a decade or so, I can see why he's got his back up a little.

We have several new gadgets from Q, including the new Aston Martin. There's some superb special effects and car chases, and plenty of explosions, shootings and carnage to satisfy all Bond Fans. All the cast are great, Pierce Brosnan delights with his cocky but heart melting style. The Bond Girls seemed to satisfy the male audience, especially when Jinx (Halle Berry) appeared in her bikini. They were all very aware of her talents! Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike), the classic case of Frost by name, frost by nature, doesn't do a bad job either, she is all peaches and cream and from what the lads have told me she is a definite hit!

Toby Stephens plays the bad guy Gustav Graves and is absolutely brill! He's not a chilling villain but very scheming. A perfect candidate! Madonna make great job of the theme tune but wasn't so great in the film, she wasn't looking her best, bless her!

I'd recommend you go and see it on the big screen. It's a great film with all the action, humour and innuendo's you'd expect! Get out the tux and Martini's, Bond is Back!
