Say what you will, I actually liked it

Rating: 8/10 (8 December 2008)

Daniel Craig is the most believable secret agent yet. In this film he doesn't even use the typical gadget car, he uses only his instinct, speed and raw, rough, morality.
So yes, there is no dark humour, almost no humour at all, it is all all action, fast and hard to fathom, but it felt more real than the convoluted scripts of past Bonds, ridiculous jokes in the face of death and unbelievably flashy villains.
Bottom line: Craig raises this movie to above the average mark I would have given it. It is not his fault that the writers are somewhat torn between the original Bond and the current expectation of the public and movie producers. It almost got close to the Bourne series in quality and it makes me want to see another installment of the 007 franchise.
