Hey! I liked this James Bond! That really surprised me because I thought that the last one was pretty darn stinky. This one concerns an evil general who decides to create some sort of mirror in space that'll concentrate the Sun's energy, giving him the ultimate power to zap anything he wants (and the world collectively says: "Doh!") Well… the plot remains pretty typical for this series, but I was very pleased to find myself NOT yawning to death. I love the product placement here, too. Some of them are kind of humorous.
