Bond sensitive?

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2008)

I always enjoy a good Bond movie and this one was no exception. Craig is a fine James Bond and we shall all miss him when he retires from the 007 role, just like we miss Sean Connery. The best Bond movies are action packed and embellished with the elegance of the characters, their clothes, the locations in which the scenes are shot, and the various eye-candy perks - Craig's posterior in tight chinos makes me want to go to the gym more and get tight chinos for myself. This modern Bond is more sensitive to the humanity of his 'girls', and yet his macho nature remains untainted. The overindulgence of the character is due to Le CarrÃ©, who used to be Her majesty's spy -- or was he a spy under his majesty? Can't recall. In any case, I LOVE M, Dame Dench is superb in the role - let's hope she stays. And perhaps fewer crashes and more dialog in the next Bond?
