Craig's debut as Bond has a few aces up it's sleeve.

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2006)

Absolutely fantastic.
Those first 20 minutes were just breathtakingly entertaining and, of course, the film couldn't keep that pace up for the next 2 hours. However, for the most part, it almost made it. Some great humour, some nice nods to the future character that Bond became, some brilliant stunts and vicious fight sequences.
My only two complaints were that Bond seemed far too easily fooled on a couple of occasions (but, of course, that was the point . . . he had to learn) and that the ending seemed to appear and then fade and then appear again. By the last 15 minutes I was thinking of Return Of The King and wondering if Campbell had wagered with Jackson that he could cram more endings in. Not quite the best Bond film ever made but straight into the top tier.
