Really liked it more than I thought. It's funny seeing us English as the bad guys for once, especially as it was pretty much a Japanese James Bond. Not that it's a bad thing. As soon as the woman showed up I knew the plot but I'm a big fan of early Bond and this felt very similar, much better than new Bond. Plus Kame....he never ceases to amaze me. Was trying to imagine an English pop star playing a role like this, or even being a good actor. There were a few times when the English guys sounded very American but not really a big problem. The secondary characters were also good, and I'm sure if there is a sequel they'll be more developed. All in all watching this made me smile a lot, a good Saturday night in. I give it a 9, not necessarily based on anything rational rather just how much fun I had watching the film, especially as I don't normally like to sit and watch a film. I prefer the pacing of a story more in line with dramas.
