The new Bond Film

Caro and I went to see the new James Bond film, “Casino Royale” together with H&E at Christmas. It stars Daniel Craig, who gets the thumbs-up from me as the all new Bond. The film has a more convincing feeling to it than the previous films, where the tech gadgets are more realistic and the dialogue catchy and less comical. Bond is introduced to the audience as a rugged agent who’s just being promoted to his 007 status. The film starts with a great chase, which for a change is on foot and not in a vehicle. The new bond girl is pretty and not stupid. She has some catchy dialogue that Bond has to work on to keep up with. The only disappointment for me was that the Austin Martin he drives has an all too short lifespan in the film. There are some good twists in the plot that create suspense almost to the end of the film. All in all, a good film to see at the cinema and well worth the visit.
