casino royale: craig bond is here


james bond is finally born on the screen
this one is real
he gets more blood on him than all the bonds before him
pearce brosnan for example got nice designer scratches doing all those stunts

that was a fake james bond
unreal pompous and with a bloated ego

an ego that every other charcter has to take for granted
i thought it was pathetical feudal and british imperialist


the new james craig bond cannot be confined to the ac room
shaking and stirring his drink
he is out there doing his thing
which is acting smart and cocky
in the thick of where the shit is hitting the fan
this sunny number #1 thing he's got

plays out superbly in the action
and thats what makes this bond so cool

but the fun really is when this disposition is under attack
and when he reveals his vulnerability to some one
to show that vulnerability requires a good actor
and in daniel craig the bond franchise
has finally found a good actor
thank god for that

bond is meant to be threatened and he is meant to get flustered
but he is meant keep it below his sauve demeanour
how are you gonna show something like that as an actor
i can imagine how hard that can be
but that is the true drama of bond
hats off to the scriptwriters of casino royale

foe throwing up such a hard to play bond
for the first time we see bond in this vulnerable dramatic manner

the only other bond who seemed like real human being
was sean connery in Dr. No

he too seemed vulnerbale at times

of course these are opinions
lots of people have counter arguments

but i am particularly glad
that brosnan is out of the bond franchise
i never understood all those people going gaga over him
i am sure they will be the ones who have problems with daniel craig
but i am sure craig's here to stay

till then the line for me is

bond
james craig bond
