    Bond rushes after goldie with Dr Jones in tow

    Is she needed for the end sequence, or something?

    Elektra pops into M's cell to say good morning, then decides to leave. M stops her, asks her what time it is for no valid reason and is handed the crucial alarm clock.

    Had Elektra gone about her day, her diabolical plan would have succeeded.

    Yeah, but why would she think anything about putting the alarm clock there? Are you saying that should ring an alarm bell for Elektra? Think of it from her perspective, that's quite abstract thinking.

    The torture sequence.

    'It's my oil! Mine!'

    Torture enough.

    It's rather just entering the room at all.

    Elektra completely loses character during the torture sequence and behaves like a stroppy, spoiled teenage monstrosity more than a conniving, cunning killer.

    Bond shooting her is a relief.

    Valentin, in retrospect, added next to nothing of value in this film. He became a buffoon.

    'I never miss'

    Excellent line and delivered with aplomb.

    Had the goon closed the sub hatch a second sooner...

    The goon who gets faceplanted by Pierce is the same as the 'piss off' goon from Quantum of Solace.

    Renard shoots his own man.

    Evil.

    Are Renard's crew all dead on with the suicide mission?

    The sub sequence is much, much better than I remembered it.

    Special mention goes to the 'she's waiting for you' mutual acknowledgment: Bond putting Renard out of his misery, Renard accepting Bond's offer of eternal love.

    The End

    Better than I remember, but still not by any means a better film.

    An ultimately frustrating experience but a noble effort. I'll no longer place it in the 'avoid' category during watch-backs.

    Also, can I just say, Denise Richards is nowhere near as bad as she was rated. Not even close to 'raspberry award' territory. Not brilliant by any means, but let down as everyone else from poor plotting and poorer characterisation. Film was more interested in bizarre chases and illusory humour.

    Valentin should not have returned, either.

    Furthermore, the amount on SF taken from TWINe is as aforementioned: stark.

    It's practically a remake.

    So to sum up, you loved it.
