Daniel Craig Is Not Bad

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2015)

Bond's loyalty to M is tested when her past comes back to haunt her. Whilst MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
At first, it took some getting used to, because Daniel Craig (despite being English) looks more Russian than anything else. He could be Vladimir Putin's brother, and would make a great Bond villain. But once I adjusted, he was actually quite good at the role, even if not as suave as Timothy Dalton or Sean Connery.
And having Javier Bardem as a villain was a stroke of genius. He plays bad guy roles well, and it is great to see him getting more and more exposure for international audiences. Truly a treasure of the screen.
