Caught the latest Bond flick the other week and was well impressed… Daniel Craig is "The Man" and he really rocks as the new James Bond. No more namby pamby Pierce Brosnan thank God! The opening sequence is particularly spectacular and the looking down the gun barrel (you know the bit they have at the beginning of all Bond films) was very cleverly incorporated into the action. The free running Sebastien Foucan who Bond chases at the start is incredible. The violence is hard and brutal and very realistic looking. I won’t spoil the plot but apparently it follows the book quite faithfully (in fact I will be shortly checking that out as I have bought the book). One of the bits I liked was the very end and what Bond says at the very end. Without a doubt the best Bond film since the Connery era.
Rating: 9/10

I totally agree- best Bond film I've seen I reckon. Nice BLOG btw. Phil.
I think you should include bus drivers on your hate list....once I've heard your opinion, I'll post my response! Phil.
Thanks!... don't know why I didn't think of doing a blog earlier!!

Not sure about bus drivers... the ones that drive in St Albans all seem to be Polish. However the pre-requisite for being a bus driver is to be as miserable as sin!

I liked the film but there was, as usual, quite a lot of product placement. However, at one point he described a cocktail which included 'Gordon's' gin but it seems that particular brand was actually mentioned in the book. PR
I have bought the book (or rather Nerine has bought it for me) and will be checking the Gordon's Gin reference
It was a pretty boring Bond film. Too long and Bond himself was not as good looking as I would normally expect. As for his choice of drinks and style... well, not up to standard!
Strange comments.... the film was very action packed. I think the new style of Bond film is going in a much better direction than the recent Brosnan ones
