Truer to the book version of Bond

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2006)

Sean Connery will always be the face of James Bond. He looks the way James Bond is supposed to look. I believe the first director cast him based on his "dark, cruel good looks".
Craig acts the way James Bond is supposed to act. He's mean, he's nasty, he's got a chip on his shoulder. This is in large part to the writing, but Craig just looks right doing it.
Moore never looked right doing the violence. Brosnan got better at it as the films went along.
I think Craig is going to make an excellent Bond, based on this film. If he grows in the role the way Brosnan did, he is a cinch to be my second favorite Bond. And he may challenge Connery, which I would have called unthinkable before this film.
