Love It!

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2006)

Daniel Craig was SEX-EE! Having always thought Pierce Brosnan was the consummate Bond, I was pleasantly surprised. (Funny, I thought the same thing about Christopher Reeve being Superman and then along came Brandon Routh... ) No special effects to mar the film, just good old-fashioned fights and the hits and kicks and gunshots not only looked painful, Bond actually had WOUNDS afterward! He actually had to RECOVER in a hospital with doctors! He is a real man after all. Fun stuff. Judi Dench is amazing as always. It is interesting to see the "beginning" of Bond - you can see how the events in this film will cause him to eventually metamorphosize into the colder, detached James Bond we already know and love. Looking forward to the next film!
