This was the usual James Bond fare; entertaining fluff, a little bit of eye candy. It was funny to find that, though I'd since forgotten, I had watched this movie before. Before (re)watching it I couldn't remember anything about it (except for the obvious things that I probably would have known even if I hadn't seen the movie--for example, that it starred Daniel Craig). I guess you could say it didn't make much of an impression on me (neither last time nor this time), and I'm pretty sure it won't be one of those movies I watch over and over again, even though we own it on DVD.A few things of note: a fun parkour scene in the beginning as Bond chases an African bomb-maker through a construction site. The bomb-maker was a much more skilled free-runner, but Bond showed himself to be the more intelligent a few times. Also, I stared in disbelief as I saw James Bond headed down a road in the Bahamas driving a Ford rental car (the sacrilege!!) but he soon regained my respect by winning a beautiful old silver Aston Martin in a poker game (whew!!)
