In her Majesty's Secret Service






Granted, Daniel Craig is the most unlikely Bond (James Bond..to you) in the world. Lets inspect though, are you judging AFTER watching the movie or before? If you havent watched the movie yet, bang your head against a brick wall and hope to die.

I owe Daniel Craig an apology, though the chances that he is reading this is less than zero. Mr Craig, you have played Bond in the movie Casino Royale brilliantly. He is the most human bond. Susceptible to errors unlike the other Bonds we know who are suave, smart, sexy and never wrong.

This Bond, having just been promoted to "double O" (license to kill) status, is prone to mistakes. He gets himself caught on camera while blowing up an embassy and he also drinks poisoned martini. Not something you would catch Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan or even Roger Moore doing, I'm sure.

Most of the movie revolves around a high stake poker game. The villain (no, not Daniel Craig) has invested a lot of money from terrorist organisations in the market and because our man Bond ruins his well thought of plan, he loses over 10 million. So this villainous chap decides to have a high stake poker game. Who wins? Does Bond hunt the man down after he wins the game or does Bond win the game?

Interestingly, Bond falls in love with a very interesting personality played by Eva Green. Another personality I never thought would find a place in a Bond movie, but obviously I was wrong.

Bond isnt the only one prone to error, the entire of MI6 is, as you will find out when you progress through the movie.

To Mr Craig : I'm sorry

To Movie goers : Get watching.
