Craig is good as James Bond
We’ve just come back home after seeing the new James Bond movie and I must say I was pleasantly surprised how good I thought it was. We had a similar experience to Samiraisam in that the movie started 25 minutes after the announced start time, which was annoying.
After all the stuff that was written before the premiere about Daniel Craig not being a good Bond I think they can just be quiet. He certainly looks different from the other Bonds, but he has just the right attitude, and perhaps he looks different but he fits right in, I think. There are no gadgets in the movie, which is a departure from other Bond movies, instead the creators seem to have focused on character and story. Without giving anything away (I think) Bond gets to fall in love and lose the love he just found, all in the same movie. He has just been awarded the status of “00″ and the movie lays the ground work for future developments I think, especially in the relationship between Bond and M.
I for one really look forward to the next Bond movie and I hope it’s Craig again. It looks like the movie is getting good reviews so I’m sure there will be more movies. I just hope they don’t keep remaking old ones. Now they need to come up with new story lines and developments and not rehash hold ones.
