Bond James Bond

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2007)

Well I for one thought Connery to be the quintessential Bond though I know that Flemming thought differently. Now with Craig they finally hit the nail on the head. Superb! I was so impressed from the opening sequel to the closing credits. What a journey and just as you think its over (of course this is NOT a clockwatching movie) off it goes again. Bond truly in love, Bond square one from the invention of the famous cocktail to the reason why he is reticent to love. I was a bit disappointed that there where no Bond lines and then 3/4 way through (I think) they began. The scenes in Venice, amazing. The card game captivating and the introduction of Jeffery Wright a surprise touch. Maybe because I usually see him in totally different roles. The torture scene was torturous and I bet it had a lot of men cringing in their seats. James Bond has certainly been brought into the 21st Century and I for one am glad. The only reason I didn't give it 10 out of 10 is because I want to see if the next Bond can top that. Well done Mr Craig a role to be proud of and those eyes hummmmmm
