| Movie Description After a great deal of discussion--on the part of fans and producers alike--over Daniel Craig's (THE MOTHER, MUNICH) suitability for the role of James Bond, he more than proves himself in this explosive revamping of the franchise. Under the direction of Martin Campbell (THE MASK OF ZORRO) and with Paul Haggis (CRASH) helping with the re-writes, this addition to the Bond canon manages to hold true to the essence of the stories--the villainous villains, the fabulous sets, the beautiful women, the fast-paced action--while updating the formula with subtlety and humanity. Trading in the Cold War era for a new, post-9-11 landscape, the tale unfolds in locations that span the globe, including the Bahamas, Venice, and the Czech Republic. It opens in Madagascar, where Bond pursues a guerilla bomb-maker in one of the most breathtaking chase scenes ever--and it all takes place on foot. Botching that assignment, Bond goes to Montenegro to square off against terrorist baddie Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelson), an international loan shark who gambles with the money of his equally dangerous clients. Beautiful British Treasury representative Vesper Lynd (Eva Green, THE DREAMERS) supplies Bond's own funds, appearing on his arm in Montenegro, while M (Dame Judi Dench, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE) keeps a close watch on the action from headquarters. The extravagant poker game forms the center of the action, with Jeffrey Wright (SYRIANA, THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE) putting in an intense appearance at the table; interrupting the game are assassination attempts, poisoning, and other dramatic events that keep the adrenaline pumping. The flirtation that unfolds between Bond and Vesper Lynd is only in keeping with the spy's M.O. as a ladies' man. What differs here, however, is what sets this Bond apart from the rest: the romance is taken seriously, and it exposes a vulnerability in Bond that he's never shown before. This, however, only makes him the tougher, as Craig's Bond is darker, less campy, more brooding and mysterious, than his past incarnations ever were.

Much more like a serious spy movie but with the exotic locales, fast cars, and beautiful women you'd expect in a Bond movie. The film is well acted, well directed, has a good script and tons of action. The second scene in the movie is my favorite ever in any bond film. This is not just a guy flick - women will love Bond's relationship with Vesper. A definite must-see. Review ID: 10000000005904728 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Great MovieReview created: 01/24/08 by: This is one of the best Bond movies I have ever seen and the best bond actor in the series. Pierce was a great bond but the swagger that Daniel gives the character. I believe the High Def Blu-ray is amazing and the picture is great. Great movie to watch (even though it was my 2nd time). Review ID: 10000000005197308 Was this review helpful? Report this review Good Movie!Review created: 01/22/08 by: Overall this movie was pretty entertaining. Daniel Craig does a great job as taking on the role of James Bond, but there have been better James Bonds. This is a must own and people always request to watch this movie if they haven't seen it. A good must see. Review ID: 10000000005179898 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
