Bond ... James Bond

I loved it. I have always loved the Bond movies, but they'd lost me lately. I didn't like Dalton in the role at all, and had never seen one with Brosnan in it in the theatres, and never really liked him in the role either.

Daniel Craig, however, was exceptional. I think he may be my favorite Bond.

I will say he was the beneficiary of what I want a James Bond movie to be. Plot lines with madmen and superweapons had always annoyed me (Goldeneye, The Spy Who Loved Me, etc), and I had preferred the plots with cold war or greed as a motive (Octopussy, For Your Eyes Only, and Goldfinger, for example). This was a simple and believable plot, which made me able to look past holes or parts I found to be ridiculous (does it ever happen in real poker that there's a full house beaten by a higher full house beaten by a four of a kind beaten by a straight flush? Anyway....).

So, long live the reign of Daniel Craig as Bond.
