Excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2006)

I was sceptical at first but after seeing Daniel Craig's performance in layer cake I knew that he would not disappoint. I would also like to praise Mads Mikkelsen for his marvellous performance as the bond villain (unjustly overshadowed by the bond switchover media circus!).
There was a lot less gadgetry and a distinct lack of puns - but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing as it allowed more room for a decent story line and made the entire film a little more believable than the invisible car capers of past...
The line "dry martini, on the rocks..." "shaken or stirred?" "do I look like i give a damn?" seemed to resonate with the entire cinema, sheer brilliance! I am now looking forward to the next Bond and I feel that Daniel Craig will do the part justice and bring bond into the 21st century.
PS. Kudos for the intro sequence, great graphics!
