No Sex Appeal in Daniel Craig

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2006)

Sorry...everyone else seems to really like Daniel Craig as James Bond; but I didn't. James Bond is English, a gentleman and a charmer. Craig's Bond was none of these. This Bond wasn't even likable. I couldn't fathom how Solange or Vesper Lynd should have found him attractive because he didn't even flirt with them. Somehow, his scenes with them lacked sparks. To me, he had no sex appeal. Also, while M seemed to be fond of Bond there was no justification for it in the movie. Was it mother instinct or a sexual attraction to a younger man? We had no basis to guess. With her he was truculent and rude. I just didn't discern any warmth in this Bond. He could as easily have been an android. Also, thought Craig was overly bulked up on the shoulder musclesÂ…somehow it didn't look natural. The original Bond would not have been so obviously muscular. Apart from that, the movie was okay.
