Who would've thought

When I was a child I did enjoy James Bond movies: action, glamour, beauty and easy scripts with happy endings. To me was just a matter of growing up to dislike this kind of movie, it didn't bring anything new: always the same sequence and the same exploding action until nothing makes sense anymore. What an incredibly happy surprise was to watch "Casino Royale" with Daniel Craig starring as J.B. Although I do not know his previous work, He is really the movie, every bit of it, and believe me, He makes it worth every cent. J.B. is finally a three dimensions man, has an intriguing personality and bleeds just as any would do under the circumstances. Needless to say, I love the film, it has an extraordinary music ("You know my name" really gets you into it since the very beginning), locations and picture are astonishing, the script is solid, the bad guys are people like anyone else with its complexities and reasons... I had a wonderful time watching it and feeling the same urge that I felt when watching "Fightclub" (who didn't want to get into it and kick some?). If I had the chance, I would love to congratulate Mr. Craig for his work, specially after all what he had to cope up with, thank him for giving me back J.B. and beg him to keep going.
