This is the best Bond, the best Bond movie (mild spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2006)

Clean and dry like a martini, kinetic and almost balletic in the action sequences, cleverly subversive of the Bond conventions. And Daniel Craig is quite simply the most gorgeous vessel of testosterone in quite some time. He's the perfect counterpart to dark-and-sunny George Clooney: a bright blue-eyed blond with a lemon-bitter edge.
An excellent script that isn't burdened with clever deaths and post mortem puns. There are no bizarre weather-changing devices or fantastical enemies to overcome, so you don't have to suspend disbelief to the heavens. You don't even have to know all the players or unravel the plot to enjoy it. It unfolds in its own time and quite efficiently. The cinematography and art direction, especially the classic opening sequence, are worth repeated viewing. A beautiful film to watch, all that blue ocean and Craig's eyes.
