New era as a king is born

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2006)

I am not a film buff, but I certainly am a Bond buff. And I don't think there has been a good bond film since Goldeneye. I have been waiting for a film that wasn't just trying to beat the previous one for sheer ridiculous creativity.
From start to finish this is blatantly a Bond, however unlike the recent efforts this is also an excellent film. It has fast cars, action, women, violence, humour and everything else you'd associate with this iconic series, however it has an element of realism which makes it 100% more intense.
Craig is brilliant, the supporting cast are brilliant and the director, who funnily enough also made Goldeneye, proves Bond can live on as more than an all shagging, all fighting on ice, cartoon charter.
If you like all Bonds go watch it. If you liked the early ones, definitely go watch it, you're confidence will be restored. If you like Layer Cake go watch it. Oh who am I kidding? If you like being entertained, go and watch it.
Ten out of ten for all involved.
