Yummy New Bond

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2006)

I'll overlook a couple of plot problems just to see this one again. First, the lead-in artwork is stunning and interesting and makes you forget that the credits are running. Chris Cornell does the theme and does okay. Not Goldfinger by any stretch, but it fits the new image of 007. The male chauvinistic, love em and leave em Bond has been replaced with a handsome, rough-around-the-edges, Everyman Bond, in the form of sensitive, strong Craig. Men, don't be too shocked if your wife WANTS to go see this one. Eva Green is a beauty and smart as well. Mads Mikkelson as Le Chiffre is also excellent casting. The beautiful backdrop of Montenegro adds the jet setter appeal of other Bond movies. Again, with Daniel Craig as the main dish, this popcorn flick becomes the full meal deal!
