An Original Outlook on Bond

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2006)

While the opening sequence began in a traditional Bond style, the overall feel of the film wasn't a very "James Bondish" one. Some key characters from the other films were missing and having a blonde bond didn't really add to the atmosphere that a James Bond film should have.
However, that being said, it isn't a bad movie. The scenes between M and 007 were always very entertaining, and Daniel Craig brought a new dimension to a character that has been around for so long. Any fans of the James Bond franchise will know his careless attitude to woman and it is good to see where that stemmed from.
As I already said, it is a great action film, with some really tense scenes, but overall, in my opinion, it makes an average James Bond one.
