Daniel Craig makes for an GREAT 007....

The 007 in Casino Royale is smooth but not a "pretty boy"... he can get caught off his guard but recovers well... damn! Talk about a hard-body dude... I just wish I had his physique after busting my ass at the gym 4-5 times a week... totally jealous! LOL Thumbs up for a job well done... bravo! The primary critique of the entire movie is the card-playing scene with every token race and sex represented... not that having proper representation is not AOK but it just seemed forced. And, of course, the card game outcome is VERY predictable but with a great twist...
I was hoping for a car that could do everything (as an Austin Martin should... LOL) but there were several cool cars just the same...
Do you want to see one of the best on-foot chase scenes you'll ever see? I was dizzy at how two "cats" chased each other all over the place... very nice... super moves, dangerous stunts... wow!!!
Overall... this was a fun James Bond movie... not too many techno tricks that seem far-fetched, typical beautiful women, AND NO CAR CHASE SCENES (sorry if that gives anything away but they are sooooo laborious)...
