Daniel Craig resuscitates the Bond franchise with the best Bond movie since OHMSS in 1969
(Not that George was the best Bond, but it was one of the best films, and closest to the book)
In one scene Bond walks through a wall , not a brick wall, a stud wall, but he doesn't go round it, he just goes through it. I think this is the key to the character, a return to the hard man Bond Connery portrayed so well.
He's not without charm but he's pretty much without morals.
The film jettisons Miss Moneypenny, and John Cleese's Q - successor , R
The only gadgets are electronics (laptops, mobiles, and a paramedic tool)
The film is character and plot driven, but with spectacular set pieces, coming in at two hours twenty four, it's long, but it does not seem so.
