Loved It! Daniel Craig Is Best James Bond Yet!

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2006)

This movie had me gripping the sides of my chair pretty much all the way through. Opinions of who's the best James Bond will vary from person to person, that stands to reason, and I've loved all of them. Up to now my personal preference remained with Timothy Dalton even though I've always liked all of the James Bonds. But what I can say for Daniel Craig is: this guy is wild! Passionate, very hardy and tough. Somewhat of a change from the cool suaveness of Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig is a rugged, highly athletic man-of-action image for the new James Bond, and I think it's great. To be honest, as soon as I heard that he was receiving criticism, before the movie even began filming, I just had this feeling I'd love him. I'd already seen some pictures of him by then and the way I envisioned him in this role is pretty much exactly how he actually was.
He's everything we want James Bond to be. Funny, confident, charismatic in a way uniquely his. His version of James Bond, like all the more recent ones, has a sensitive side too, which will appeal very much to the modern woman. This movie should certainly appeal to all types of James Bond fans due to all the action, creepy bad guys and beautiful women. Eva Green is absolutely beautiful, very unique beauty, and Mads Mikkelsen who I'd had the prior pleasure of seeing for the first time as one of Arthur's knights in "King Arthur", plays an extremely convincing villain in this movie. A new Felix Leiter gets introduced, and there's a lot of cute original stuff that puts this movie in it's own class.
Can't say it enough, it's a great one, and I can't wait 'till the next one comes out. Love you Daniel Craig!
