Too Blonde, too craggy faced, not tall enough, and why reboot a much loved franchise anyway? It was war and the heat was turned up to full.Ĭasino Royale still has its critics, but as majorities go as regards a Bond film, this one has the biggest sway. The howls of derision could be heard from as far as the tropical locations so in keeping with a James Bond plot. The news filtered thru that Bond was to be rebooted and that Daniel Craig was the man to be Bond. 2006 and time had moved on, and we live in different cinema times, spy movies are a different breed to what went before, The Bourne Identity had raised the bar. Once it became clear that Pierce Brosnan had run his course as Bond, bowing out with the super silly Die Another Day in 2002, the pressure for any new Bond, both the actor and the makers, was immense. Then there is the usual round of arguments concerning the leading man stepping into the tuxedo, for every Bond fan ready to fight to the death in the name of Sean Connery, I'll find you another prepared to back Timothy Dalton's take on the Martini swigging legend.

The complaints will range from not enough gadgets, too far removed from Fleming's essence, not serious enough and vice a versa: too darn serious. To wit, there will never ever be a Bond film that will appease every fan across the board. One of the hardest series of films to get right, with some of the most committed of fans, is that of the James Bond series.

Plot finds Craig as Bond, newly promoted to 00 status, he is thrust into the murky world of high financed terrorism.

It's the 21st film in the James Bond franchise. It stars Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright & Giancarlo Giannini.
