Bond's 21st outting, Casino Royale, was a fantastic reboot of the beloved character. I am not a Bond expert but I have enjoyed all his films since my first movie going experience with "For Your Eyes Only". I often remember when Bond was the Sunday night movie of the week. I pleaded with my parents to be able to watch the whole film but they would always send me to bed. I ended up sneaking into the hallway to try and catch the whole film! Anyway having grown up with the Roger Moore version I always think of Bond this way. I think for the most part he was the most in between Bond. Not quite as savy as Sean Connery but certainly better than the Bonds that came after. With the arrival of Pierce Brosnan I thought the perfect Bond had been found. But with the new Bond film and Daniel Craig I am a believer that he is truly the best Bond since Connery. Seeing him portray the character really makes Brosnan's take a mere caricature of the Bond mythos. The outlandishness of the Brosnan films are really evident with this stripped down version. More character, more heart, more Bond. As the saying goes "every man wants to be Bond, and every female wants Bond." I give the movie 5 optic blasts. A great film and a great Bond girl too in Vesper. Although not your typical outlandishly beautiful Bond girl she does seem more real and thus a great role
