Second Best Bond Ever To: OHMSS

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2007)

This is the big one, out come all the Barrack Room hacks. Here we go!Possibly the second best Bond Film of all time, depicting the prequel/pro-log of the infamous, wet and dry disposal expert on behalf of Her Majesty. The casting of Dan Craig was spot on no doubts here,as the man delivering the box of chocolates, after disposing all the usual wannabe delivery boys. Great story from Fleming possibly one of his best, based on a number of various alleged war time tales of experience. The casting and storyline was fluent and cohesive, to the point of total originality. I am unsure on the "Vesper Lynd" depiction, but after watching the movie on my 10th outing, I think I get the message. One sad point for me personally was the film score, which was its only issue. The opening title theme was a very good piece of work, which was slightly spoilt to the fact that the composer should have let someone else perform it. Admittedly they themselves are an allegedly world acclaimed vocalist and writer. The opening title credits were the best in Bond cinematic history: Great storyline. A little bit of useless information, which will have astrologers jumping for joy. The other great Bond new boy with a similar story line was George Lazenby "Virgo" Sun sign. Opposite polarity to Daniel Craig "Pisces" (The best by the way, I'm one too!)David Niven Casino Royale Bond spoof was a "Pisces". Eva Green "Cancer" Ideal paring for and match for a Piscean in Synastry: Someone got it right doing their homework, or did the Cards just give them a "Straight Flush".
