Martin Campbell breathes new life into the James Bond series for the second time, this time with Daniel Craig as JB. And how!!

Daniel Craig portrays a tougher, more serious, and realistic Bond. More in the vein of Timothy Dalton, and that is how I like to see him. Despite this more realistic Bond, the humor has certainly not completely disappeared. Sometimes even with a wink at the character of Bond himself:

JB: Vodka Martini

Bartender: Shaken or stirred?

JB: Do I look like I give a damn?

The film runs for 144 minutes, but is never boring. Even during the long poker scene, the tension remains high.

A clever ending that leaves you looking forward to the sequel. It's a shame that it wouldn't come anywhere near this amazing 21st Bond film.

I think he's a handsome Bond. I believe Craig is well-suited for the role. Lots of impressive action scenes, especially the first scene with the chase of the bombmaker, which is over the top. Beautiful locations too. It's better that a new series started here, because the Pierce Brosman Bonds were more than dead.

Innovative and clever!

4*

After many years, I finally decided to watch a James Bond film. Admittedly, on the recommendation of my brother, who thinks this is a good movie. I went into it with an open mind. With James Bond films, it is difficult not to sometimes compare them to the old films and the other James Bonds.
Still, Craig, who doesn't exactly look like a James Bond, doesn't do a bad job at all.
He plays the secret agent exactly as we are used to. Nice and deadpan, a bit of humor now and then, and otherwise no pity.

The action is well-balanced with some quieter parts. The start with the chase on the construction site immediately keeps you on your toes. My attention didn't waver either. I'm quite fond of poker, so the fact that this featured so prominently was very positive for me. Look, everyone can see from miles away that he would have a straight flush, but what does it matter.

The movie is at least an hour too long. I also realized pretty quickly that Vesper had her own agenda. I think that Mr. White has a rather vague role too. And did they actually get his poker winnings back in the end, or did it disappear into the terrorist world after all?

James Bond can get beaten up, roll over in a car, get poisoned, but a few hours later, Mr. Bond looks great again. A bit too much of a robot instead of a human weapon.

Overall, I really enjoyed the pace, which was kept up well. Also, a beautiful soundtrack and a few very pleasant female appearances.

3.5 stars.
