Back to the basics for Bond

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2006)

Welcome back Mr. Bond. Just like Batman Begins revamped the Batman series, the movie does the same to 007. This has been the best Bond within the last 10-15 years or maybe longer. It ranks up with the original ones from the 60's. I loved the fact of no high tech toys or silly stunts. I felt the problem in the past few Bond movies is the movies stay pretty much the same, just the villains, locations, and women change. But I felt like this one took a chance. It went back to the early days and figure out what's the difference between a good, bad or ugly movie. It didn't focus on the effects or high tech stuff, but rather the story, with twist and turns. Daniel Craig, just like he was in Munich, was great. I not so sure about the blond hair, but that doesn't matter. He could be bald and I'll still like him. This is a must see for Bond and non Bond fans alike. I sure enjoyed it.
