James Bond… Well not really. I just came from watching the latest Bond flick, Casino Royal and this is what I am thinking- Daniel Craig looks too much like the action-hero to be Bond, but the movie was a breath of fresh air. It was hard gritty fast, compared to the old blinking-switches and outrageous gizmos.
It was also more Real. More true too the book. I think Fleming’s Bond is finally here. Thought it would have been better if Daniel Craig didn’t look like he just took a couple of Botox injections. At least Sly Stallone has an excuse. On a more positive tone, though, I think the story almost made me feel for the Bond, wooden-face nonetheless. My conclusion? Watch it. Why? Because it’s a Bond movie for Chrissake. And the Girl is actually there for a reason other then looking good.
The action is, however, the high point of any James Bond movie. And this one doesn’t disappoint. It’s fabulous, just incredible enough to be Bond but looks real enough to make the audience ooh and aah with delight.
As my brother said, from having the love interest named “Pussy Gallore” and looking like rich French Barons who have seen more manicurists then terrorist, Bond has come a long way with a Female M to boot. I can’t wait to see the next Bond movie.
