What a difference a
great actor makes. Daniel Craig is superb as James Bond and parting from
that point everything in it is enjoyable, frightening, thrilling just
because we're with him. He conquered us from the word go. The initial
chase is one of the best in film history and as soon as we get to know
this new incarnation of the iconic Ian Fleming character, we're hooked.
He's virile but there is room for ambiguity. He's elegant but as, the
sensational Eva Green, points out is more acquired than inherited. More
working class than even Sean Connery and that works wonders for Mr Bond.
The script is more compact and organic. The locations are breathtaking
and what else I can say? The series have been reinvigorated, rejuvenated
and in one single stroke have secured that this franchise will live
forever. A note to Barbara Broccoli, the producer, your father would be
so proud. Congratulations!
