Bond as he needs to be

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2006)

What can I say as a 36 year old man I have grown up with Bond and seen many a Bond movie on it's opening weekend. I can never remember leaving the cinema with such a big grin in all my years of Bond appreciation. Daniel Craig is completely believable (imho) he portrays Bond as someone who gets the job done but also makes mistakes and is human.
I totally loved it and it is without doubt the best opening performance from a new Bond.
Totally what 21st century audiences need from Bond. Character driven plots and dialogue, fallibility from the hero not to mention some of the classic Bond arrogance. The lack of gadgets whilst a bit disappointing leaves more room for the beautiful DB4 and DBS. Not to mention more Bentleys than a Bentley showroom. Still product placement aside I think Bond has returned where he belongs on the top.
