Worth watching

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2007)

A lot of people have said that Daniel Craig was the wrong person to play the part of James Bond for this film. Some have felt that he would not do the part justice and the movie would be a flop. I disagree with these statements.
I feel that Daniel Craig was the perfect person for this film. He took on a powerful character and portrayed him as I have always seen Bond. On the outside a man who will do anything for Queen and country. Yet, sensitive enough to not get lost IN the world, knowing when to pull back and rethink things.
I found the movie to be both entertaining and a nice beginning for a new franchise of films. As this is taken from the first Bond book from Ian Fleming, it is a nice beginning for those who are just starting their introduction into the world of Bond and MI6. Had this film been released as the first one way back when, it would have and does now, present the viewer with more insight into Bond. Where he is coming from and why he makes the choices his makes.
Craig has taken a very challenging character and made it his own. Congratulations to him and everyone involved!!!
