Best Bond ever

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2006)

I watched Casino Royale with a large group of family and friends after Thanksgiving dinner as an "event". I realized later that I had seen Daniel Craig in several movies, but somehow didn't remember him. I definitely will remember him now after seeing this film. He is the first Bond ever to look both tough and vulnerable. First Bond with rumpled hair and blood on his face. He ran like a man. Loved like a man. The action is heart-stopping and at the end of the movie, I was dumbstruck, hoping for more, even though the film ran more than 2 hours long. This guy rocks. I can't wait for the next Bond film! Others before him played Bond with affectation -- although charming in those times, it would not be "right" to play him the same way again today. So Daniel Craig's Bond is right!
