Daniel Craig is James Bond...

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2012)

The 007 gets a new bond after Pierce Brosnan. Now Pierce Brosnan was a good James Bond but didn't expect Daniel Craig to be better as James Bond. He just has that ferocity and rawness to him to the point you can actually believe he is going to do whatever it takes to get the job done. But also while being classy and having that charisma that James Bond is known for and Daniel Craig really pulled this very iconic role. So this is kinda the origin story of Bond and the story is tense and entertaining. When I first saw this film in theater I was entertained from start to finish. It's just a really cool movie with a really cool spy you just can't help but like because of his coolness. It also has some good exchange of dialogues to go with the intriguing story while also having good amounts of action. So Martin Campbell nailed all three areas. The sly and yet classy spy elements is blended in really well to the story, so yes it does have it's essence of 007 movies. In fact this is probably the most memorable Bond film so far and I am saying this in the year 2012. All of the cast worked really well into this movie and Eva Green is extravagant as the Bond girl while being really relevant to the story. While the previous Bond movies were a bit over the top and silly this one goes in a more modern and realistic approach. Overall if you like 007 movies I highly recommend you to check it out and for those that aren't there is a chance your going to like this one. The reinvention might be too much for some but in my opinion it did a good job of reaching out to the modern audiences.
9.8/10
