      Please keep in mind that I haven't seen all of the Bond films, especially the older ones, so don't send me angry emails when I say this is one of the most entertaining Bond flicks I've seen so far. 

     In this 20th installment to the 007 series, the North Koreans are the enemies who are allied with Gustav Graves, the villain with an orbiting space mirror.  What his mirror does is focus heat on the Earth.  Graves' operation is based at an ice building (yes, a building made out of ice) in Iceland.  And naturally, Bond--who starts the film having to escape imprisonment from the Koreans--comes to intrude upon his operation.  There are some interesting twists and turns along the way, so that's all I'll reveal.  

     First of all, the opening action sequence is spectacular and it's followed by the usual music montage/credit sequence set to Madonna's "Die Another Day," which is the best Bond theme song I've heard up-to-date.  It's a great, catchy, upbeat song that really gets your blood pumping, as opposed to some other past Bond films which charm you with a great action sequence and dampen the mood with a mellow theme song.  

     The Bond girls are hot.  Pierce Brosnan is suave as ever and seems to come up with a hilarious one-liner every second.  Some of the gadgets are really cool, like the much-discussed invisible car.  Of course, Bond surfing on a glacier was pretty cheesy, but I didn't say the film was perfect.  All in all...there was never a dull moment.
