Para mim é o melhor filme do James Bond, e olha que eu já assisti a todos! Craig entrega um Bond pedante e cheio de vigor, e o roteiro, muito bem amarrado, mescla cenas de ação e uma história coesa de maneira genial.

Surely one of the best action movies of the 2000s. The parkour chase is mesmerizing.

I am not a very big action movie fan. Explosions, violence, and sex don’t make a good movie unless there is some semblance of a story involved. Therefore, I’ve never really had an interest in watching…  read review

Not being well-versed in the James Bond pantheon, I can’t really compare it to other Bond films, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with it. There are some impressive action sequences toward the beginning…  read review
