The color saturation is incredible, especially upon my first watch. It’s a Bond movie so has to meet certain plot criteria, but otherwise not bad with a few nice twists and character building scenes. Evelyn Tremble is not captured on camera; an outtake of Sellers entering a racing car was substituted. None the less I can definitively say that Daniel Craig's performance in this movie may very well be the best Bond ever on the big screen.

We were apprehensive about Daniel Craig as Bond (Clive Owen would have been better) but here he is very very good, although he seems to have aged years between the casting (shown in the Special Features) and the shooting.
