Is it James Bond or James 'Bonds'

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2006)

Its a good movie and I'm sure that considering the fact that this is Ian Flemings attempt at a love story and totally unlike other James Bond... it was a good decision to bring in Daniel Craig because after this he better be dropped as it felt more like watching another action movie than a Bond movie.
Compared to Pierce Brosnan's Bond this one was more of a bouncer like Vin Diesel in XXX ... a b-grade movie with a bouncer as a lead. Saving grace... Eva Green... is she wasn't there to add the class... it would've been a bummer of a movie.
Daniel Craig as the suave British Intelligence agent playing a game of poker was as far-fetched as it could get.
One thing is the producers can easily drop in and bring in someone else for the next Bond movie as this is an earlier story where there is little trust between M and her best man.
The 8 score is sheerly for a couple of well-choreographed chase sequences and of course Eva Green.
At the end of it... the love story made it seem like it was not the cold secret agent but rather a very "bond"ed guy... Bonded... James is bonded (in love)
