This is one movie which served as the much waited flick for a large part of the Hollywood audience. Bond movie lovers were long awaiting a fresh change in the regular, out of the world sequences which had become an integral part of Bond movies, and Daniel Craig delivered exactly that to the audience.
Directed by Martin Campbell, this Bond flick definitely has more explosions and ammo being used that a large number of other Bond flicks in the history of Bond cinema. All this said, none of the scenes seem to be over-done and over-acted by Daniel Craig- everything has flown naturally and it appears that the Tuxedo was meant for Daniel Craig who looked the ‘Perfect Bond’.
The characters and the story line of this particular Bond film have been well crafted and the movie has stood out as not being full of one-liners and non-directional action sequences; rather, the movie seems to flow through a well directed story line, giving shape to its characters at many important phases of the storyline. The character seems to come to life when the demeanor with which Daniel Craig, the ‘untiring’ bond, executed vital sequences of the movie, giving a feel that the character is lethal, seductive, grim, intelligent, but human at the same time.
Some parts of the movies do seem somewhat unwanted and un-called for, though. The poker fight, for instance, seems to have been added just to add a bit of glitterati and action to the otherwise boring mid section of the movie. There are some minor edition errors also in the movie (like the scene where Bond leaves his room and finds his compatriot unconscious in the room when he returns after hours pf playing poker at the Casino), but on the whole, this is one of those Bond flicks which many people, especially Bond fans, had been waiting for in a long time.
