Saw the new 007 flick, Casino Royale. Let me just say it was the best Bond in decades. And it's all due to Daniel Craig filling the role of "James Bond".Now I will admit when he was first announced as the choice in the film I was sceptical. But not for the reason you think: Daniel Craig is one of the finer actors today. I don't know if it was that my expectations for the actors who play Bond had dropped considerably over the years or what. But I felt he was - in truth - over qualified to play the role.
But he proved me wrong, bringing layers of complexity and rueful humor to a character that I'd come to expect to be merely a cardboard cut-out in a plot driven movie.
And the blue eyes and perfectly sculpted body don't hurt either! A body which we see clearly as he rises out of the ocean in a odd juxstaposition from the same move by Ursala Andress and Halle Berry. Hmmm.Anyway, if by the end of the first 15 minutes you don't agree with me that this is the best Bond? Why. Why. I'll eat my head. Or maybe drink a dozen Vespers.
