For the original series of James Bond films, Sean Connery defined the part quite effectively. Since Connery other actors such as George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan have attempted to portray this persona with the same elan with varying degrees of success. In my opinion none have measured up to Connery in the qualities of an international British agent with unsurpassed physical skills, sophistication and attraction for women. None until now. Daniel Craig makes one heck of a Bond! He fits this role equally well. Thus this movie is quite successful. The locations-Italy, Montenegro, the Bahamas- are fantastic with wonderful photography. Some exotic, mind-dizzying technology is used but not too much. There are some exciting action scenes such as in Miami and particularly around the casino at Montenegro. Eva Green plays Vesper and provides some excellent verbal jousting with Craig such as on a train in Europe. Vesper also becomes the name of a drink (6 parts Gordon's Gin, 2 of vodka, one of Kina Lilet all shaken until cool). Overall this is a wonderful movie.The Griffon Trilogy

I've been a 007 fan ever since DR. NO premiered as the bottom half of a double drive-in bill in Kansas City. I loved Connery; thought Lazenby's OHMSSS the best of the Bond bunch; suffered through the Moore era; loathed
Dalton's petrified agent; tolerated Brosnan's glossy but empty 007 - and woke up during the last two minutes of CASINO ROYALE to hail Daniel Craig as THE new Bond on the block. Naturally I snatched up the original DVD
release.
So now here comes Sony with a new "collector's edition" (double-dipping, as they do so well). There actually are some snippets that make this one worth having, notably the "deleted" which actually do add a little more to the film. The extras are puff-pieces - but watchable.
Only for Bond die-hards, or folks who believe Blue Ray will replace regular DVD.

This movie did for the James Bond franchise what Batman Begins [Blu-ray] did for the "caped crusader". Totally revitalized for modern times, with all of the old schtick thrown out. Dark, brooding, sexy, artistic and cool. What a great film. The film is absolutely perfect on BluRay as well. The HD mastering is perfect, the sound mastering is flawless, and the extras are totally worth the price of purchase. Amongst the best of the best of Bond flicks. An absolute must for any Bond aficionado and highly recommended even for the casual Bond fan.

The only thing perfect in this movie is Judi Dench.
I just love these British actors who mask their enormous skill (clarity of speech, face, postures) under an easiness so deceptive. When acting Shakespeare they can be operatic allright as it is right for Baroque but when they play "normal" characters they are apparently real, everyday... But try and ask a non professional to play a "normal" part and you shall see the difference.
This first 007 after a while boasts the great novelty, Daniel Craig.
Such a novelty he is not. I loved Timothy Dalton and he was very physical, very crude too. Not that Mr Craig is a miscast: he seems an excellent actor (I know no other movie of his), he has a beautiful muscular body that the authors display throughout the film, an eastern European (Polish or Russian I should say) look to his face that is peculiar and easy to remember.
The authors tried it and in my opinion they failed: they wanted to offer the public an updated 007, very physical, gory, even crude but casting Mr Craig has been useless because they left the rest unchanged. The famous opening scenes, Bond and the bomber jumping from a crane to the other... just as improbable as similar scenes in the past Roger Moore movies were.
The situations are trite, the villains are still mono dimensional, the women are just as beautiful and just as meaningless.
And please, the dialogues?
These movies are intended for the general public, allright, but do the lines have to be idiotic? Do they have to convey the usual "Me Tarzan, you Jane" content and ethics? The only really good exchange? That of Bond tortured by Le Chiffre, but perhaps I was distracted by the sight of Mr Craig's naked body.
The authors seem to have paid a lot of attention to beauty in fact... A sign of times? Settings are beautiful as is the photograph and some actors/actresses are attractive indeed.
I loved particularly Ms Murrino and the actor (don't know his name) who plays the terrorist at the airport: both have huge beautiful eyes, beautiful looks and seem to be able to play too, had this been put to use somehow...
