The Names Bond, James Bond (and I'm back)

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2006)

A nice jolt to the Bond franchise, gritty, action packed and refreshingly gadget free. It has successfully manage to reinvent itself for the 21st century, after the 2 Bourne movies and 24, James Bond was starting to look more sillier than usual and quite tired, James Bond really lost his edge and seemed a pale reflection of Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer. It was helped by amazing action sequences and death defying stunts and even the Bond Girls were more rounded.
You were made to care for Bond, he was given human emotions and really suffered, he became flesh and blood rather than a cardboard cutout. Daniel Craig made for a tougher and meaner Bond not to mention also being very fit, nice body too.
So go see this movie and reappraise what you think Bond is and you will come out with a different perspective.
