Bond lives!

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2012)

I just watched this film and i thought it was brilliant! Although i am not a die-hard James Bond fan but I have watched my fair share of Bond films. Firstly, Daniel Craig is a brilliant Bond in his own way, of course.
Daniel Craig plays Bond as cold, charming agent; which is nice to see because it gives the story a realistic undertone because if James Bond were a true character then he would have to be if he roams around the world for Her Majestys Secret Service killing terrorists and madmen! The story is set almost like an origin story where Bond has just finished attaining his double 'o' status and embarks on a complex storyline involving a villain and a couple of organisations in the backwaters, the settings are nice and again Craig plays a very cool but stern Bond. He encounters many challenges and he doesn't easily beat them all at first and even struggles in some tasks, all playing towards a more realistic Bond.
There are no flashy gadgets unless you count the Aston Martin that Bond drives around but it compensates by giving some raw action scenes like the initial fight scene where Bond flushes his enemy's head several times! This new franchise for 007 is definitely worth seeing and it is great to see how well Craig fits into the role! His cold cruel Bond really plays well here and the raw action is brilliant! Go see it!
