for the first time in ages, I am actually looking forward to the next James Bond movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2006)

Realism finds its way into the situations, action sequences, characters, and even their personalities  a significance because depth is almost always lacking in this area. Many of the past bond films had a certain amount of silliness to them that the actors and audiences were in on  I always felt that this was sort of an easy way out of having to find ways to make things fit, the sort of Adam West's Batman that eventually fueled Austin Powers. Don't worry, the bond character and lines are still there, but this time his character and those on the receiving end are in on the fun as well. As an origin story, this movie gives valuable insight into a James Bond that you hope sticks around. Daniel Craig is awesome.
Peter Bradshaw @ the Guardian says it to well to necessitate a rewrite: "It is all ridiculously enjoyable For the first time in ages, I am actually looking forward to the next James Bond movie."
