This is taking Bond back to Fleming's creation.

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2007)

I am a James bond fan in every sense of the phrase. I have seen every movie multiple times, as well as, read every novel. I see this movie as being exactly what Fleming envisioned as he wrote. Daniel Craig takes us back to what James Bond was originally. Tough, resourceful and enamored with women. While it is easy to represent this using a script derived from a Fleming original, it takes someone like Daniel Craig to deliver it appropriately. I can appreciate the lack of extravagant gadgets. I think the casting is this movie was wonderful. Not only is Craig perfect for the role, but the other main characters are also well chosen. Eva Green is stunningly beautiful and her acting is superb. Mads Michelson is the perfect "bad guy", if you will. He is cunning, intelligent and truly believable. I applaud the entire team involved in the production of this movie for giving us a true representation of James Bond's original assignment in MI6. A must see for even the casual Bond fan and a turning point for the movie followers who consider Bond a somewhat stretched character profile.
