I have been a James Bond fan since as long as I can remember... I have seen them all, and have them all in my collection. There have been some great classics, such as "Moonraker" and a few amazing flops, like "Die Another Day" (despite being directed by our very own Lee Tamahori, it was a horrible job!). But by far my favourite Bond of all time (Sorry Sean) is Daniel Craig.
His gritty, no-nonsense demeanour is perfect. He still gets the ladies in true Bond style, but he's not all gushy and corny about it, with eyebrow-wiggles at the camera and sly half-grins. The 'rougher' style of this, and the previous movie - "Casino Royale" - are far more believable and true-to-life, especially as the range of super-toy gadgets is down to actual common-day tech level, instead of super-advanced gadgets that we can only ever see in Governmental test labs.
I was particularly impressed by the way in which the bad guys were clearly just bad guys, out for power and money by normal means, not a bunch of mad supervillains, stocked to the gunnels with weapons of mass destruction and hyper-robots of doom, etc... it's actually quite a refreshing revamp of the "James Bond 007" franchise, and a timely one indeed, bringing to light that the real evil in this world is the influence of greedy people out for all they can get, despite the abuses they heap upon the rest of the world.
Overall, one of the best movies I have ever seen, and certainly agree that it is the best 'Bond' movie yet! 22nd in coming, 1st in 'coming through'.

Born with a gift he didn't want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision. But he failed. Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease on ... more...
