He is not Bland, James Bland but true Bond.

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2011)

Many during this release even just when Daniel Craig was chosen to star Bond, threatened to boycott this film. Even my mother was not convinced on Craig as Bond because he is not that suave as Brosnan does. But when I finally watch the film, I was very and really amazed.
Starting with an introduction of hand-to-hand combat that ends with Bond firing at the gun barrel. Then, the magnificent opening credit with excellent theme song. Then here comes the chases in Madagascar and then in Miami International Airport. Then, here comes the mission proper, stopping Le Chiffre in Casino Royale. Afterwards, the attempt of Bond to resign as an 00- agent. But changes when Vesper Lynd died. And ends with desire to revenge.
Craig is truer Bond than Brosnan and Moore. Craig's Bond doesn't care about anything, about whether his martini was shaken not stirred. He is definitely a killing machine but cares who will he kill and for what. He embodies the true agent; being hurt to his job. Being a sluggish in this made Craig a superb Bond. For me, if you like Bond because of his looks, shame on you. If you like Bond because of his excessive gadgetries, how pity you are.
Casino Royale is 9/10.
