To celebrate that I have started work, I went to see the new Bond movie. I was told that it was okey to see even though I hadn't seen the Skyfall. I already new what happened in Skyfall so there was no spoilers for me. I was surprised how many wanted to see the movie. We had to look for a proper time to fit our time table even though there were multiple showings going on. Our first pick was a no go, but the second one was ok. We were able to book the tickets before the theater was too full. (If it is too full, you can only buy the tickets, and we wanted to pay the tickets separately) (Well because she got a ticket from work and I got a ticket online cheaper that I could use to pay the ticket).
Now the movie! I liked all the references to old bond movies. I do remember it being said that Greig's Bond is a so called restart. What I do not remember is that was all the references from one or more movies. I think it was more, but come to think of it, I am not sure anymore. I did recognize some iconic scenes anyhow. It did feel a bit long for me and my friends taste. At some points it was just dragging along. I know others thought so too, because they checked their phones. I think my mistake was that I went in expecting a lot of action. This is not just an action movie. That is important to remember.
I do recommend this to all Bond fans to go see in the theater, because the sound will not be the same at home (nor the picture). Otherwise this is a good movie to watch at home too. It is not an epic saga, that you will miss not having seen it on big screen.
