Bond is back, reinvigorated and ready for the next generation

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2008)

I absolutely loved this film. Daniel Craig brings a unique, fresh approach to the characterization of James Bond - the character is reckless, makes mistakes, and lets his ego sometimes impact his judgment. Craig is a superb actor, and does the Bond name and franchise true justice. This is by far the most violent of the Bond films, and Craig really displays Bond's lethality and cold-bloodedness perfectly. Mads Mikkelsen is a very good baddie in Le Chiffre, Eva Green is perfect as Vesper Lynd, and Judi Dench is elegant and commanding as usual as M. I cannot wait for the next film Quantum of Solace which continues the story where this film leaves off - the first time in the Bond franchise that this happens. If you have not seen this film, it comes highly recommended. Daniel Craig is the personification of Bond as Fleming wrote it. See this film!!
