No stupid lasers, invisible cars, flying landboats, or improbable gadgets that defy the laws of physics. No Madonna pretending she can act.

I loved every minute of it. Loved the digs at the old Bonds, the free running, the characterisation, the non-villanious villain, the poker, Felix Leiter, Eva Green, the car crash... everything is brilliant. Don\'t expect Roger Moore-esque quips and crazy henchmen and you\'ll be well rewarded. That line about Bond\'s \'little finger\' is shit, though.
