Saw Spy today. Just like Galaxy Quest is a good Star Trek movie, Spy is a good James Bond, getting all the tropes right even as they twist them for comic scenes.
Not only does the movie open with a typical Bondian action sequence, it has great opening credits and music. Even better than some Bond movies.
I can’t find a video of the opening sequence but here is the music video of the song, that easily gets the point across.
Compare it to Tom Jones with Thunderball:
Or Shirley Bassey with Goldfinger”
Plus Jason Statham is extremely funny.
