Bond, Welcome To The 21st Century, It's Nice To See You!

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2007)

Everyone's talking about the blonde-bond at the moment, his charm and brilliant acting in Casino Royale justify's the hype for me. Daniel Craig has brought a new feel to bond and realism that we have all craved for since the 1980's. It is no longer feasible to see an "indestructable" Bond as everyone likes to see blood in a fight, and quite honestly there's plenty of that! Director Martin Campbell manages to combine new cutting edge editing and cinematography to bring Bond films into the 21st century, whilst retaining some traditional features we have all come to love.
There was plenty of energy throughout although despite this, two hours and a bit was too much for me and my poor backside! I look forward to the next installment as Craig continues to produces inspiring performances beating even the dated Sean Connery as my favourite Bond so far. As a young adult, Craig for me captures the new generations ideal Bond through brawn and determination. For so long dated cheesy lines were regurgitated to please the older generation of fans, as the films depended too much on past cliché's. I can quite easily say this was my favourite Bond film so far.
Take a bow messieurs Campbell and Craig, take a bow.
