The Daniel Craig movie we've been waiting for!

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2013)

Having been a bond fan for many years I found myself feeling extremely disappointed after watching Daniel Craig's previous bond film (Quantum of Solace) which I felt lacked an engaging plot and interesting characters. So naturally I was sceptical about this picture. However, within the first 10/20 minutes the film asserted itself as being far more grown up, intriguing and polished than the previous film. It feels as though the franchise has stepped into new territory with new characters.
Positive points; - Feels modern and polished. - Interesting narrative. - New characters feel fresh. - Intriguing villain performed faultlessly by Javier Bardem. - The Daniel Craig Bong we've all been waiting for.
Negative points; - Javier Bardem's character first appears half way through the film, because of his immense performance I would have liked to see more of him. - Bond decrypting the secret code from Silva's laptop was unbelievable.
I think we were all questioning Daniel Craig after the slow (yet still interesting) Casino Royale and the mess that was Quantum of Solace. But now we can rest easy after finally seeing Mr Craig filling his potential. All in all, this is possibly one of my favourite bond films. 9/10
