But I just had to clear out some misgivings. I started writing them in a comment, but eventually converted it into a blog-post.

By DAD, the whole Bond thing had become a parody of a parody, & Daniel Craig has successfully given it a jhatka. As Gaurav said, the parkour style opening fight in the beginning made it clear right on that thsi was not another of your shaken not stirred Bonds. In fact, it was Sebastian Foucan, one of the inventors of parkour, who plays the bomb maker in the opening scene. Another parkour founder, David Belle, acted in the Luc Besson-produced movie District B13, which came out in the US earlier this year. Another interesting side-note is that Martin Campbell, who directed CR, also made (imho) Brosnan's best Bond outing, his Bondebut - Goldeneye. That one revived the franchise after the wilderness of the Dalton years. GB, like you I enjoyed this Bond too.

I loved Casino Royale. I loved Daniel Craig. But mostly, I loved how for once Bond is made to look human. I noticed the lack of "silhouettes of sexy ladies dancing seductively in the opening credits". Bond somehow, amidst all the action and gadgets and women, got away with not knowing how to act... Daniel Craig breaks out... does his job brilliantly, feels for the ladies, and makes hearts flutter... all in the same movie! Havent seen all Bond flicks, but the one starring Timothy Dalton is also very different. I was scared to read what you have to say… I loved Casino Royale. I loved Daniel Craig.

Although, I have to admit, Bond girl with a swimsuit is a must for total paisa vasool. But overall a brilliant bond movie and a good adaptation of Ian Fleming's first novel.

None of the typical gizmos (the remote controlled BMW in Tomorrow Never Dies was a disappointment).... although it still pained me to see another Aston Martin get completely destroyed. The last 20 minutes of the movie seemed like it was verging on being a chick-flick (with Bond's romantic overture "...whatever is mine is yours") but they saved it nonethless!! good movie and good review!! no kidding.. this Bond edition stood apart in the fact that it actually had a good story!!

In our town of Barrackpore-am-Eisenbahn, there are no takers for this Bond. Not even at the modest price of Rs 25 per posterior on a seat. My daughter (fountain of wisdom, aged 11) explained why. It seems that the censors have been at work and so the hormonally-high janata has found better use for their money.('Chines Jawani' at Sandhya 10:30 am, 'L.A.

Great job.
