Bond is back!

Rating: 9/10 (5 December 2006)

I loved it! I had my doubts but they vanished with the opening scene. This is the new Bond and I can't wait until the next one. Daniel Craig worked hard for that role and it shows. I actually liked the gadgets and one-liners not being present. Overall, the movie has a gritty feel and with the exception of the card game, you can feel the possible dangers. I like the elements from the book that were put into the film such as Bond naming his martini after Vesper Lynd. I've noticed that many of the films strayed far from the books that they were based on but not this one. If you want the gadgets and one-liners and little realism then this Bond is not for you.
