When I first saw this most recently released Bond, I felt that the first third was silly, and that Daniel Craig was adequate in the roll. But that overall it was a pretty good action movie. On a whim, and because of a great price, I decided to buy the DVD--and was astounded by how much I enjoyed it. I still think the chase scene at the beginning is silly, but fun; but the rest of the film really engaged me. I believe the producers have made a very wise choice in both Daniel Craig, and how Bond is updated. The old bond seems as dated as watching the original Rat Pack in some of their films--- fun, and certainly reflective of the time, but very dated. I'm actually looking forward to picking up the story in the next outing!Even if you're less than enthusiastic about the Bond franchise, give this one a shot.
