Bond IS Back


I caught the new Bond flick, "Casino Royale" the other day. This is a welcome restart to a series that was starting to showing its age.


It's about 30 minutes too long and could have lost one of the "action" sequences (you see one guy hanging from the top of a speeding gas tanker, you've seen 'em all).


However, Danial Craig does a good job of making the character his own. Matt Damon should take "tough guy" lessons from him (to be fair, I don't get why Matt Damon is a star in the first place).


The plot is interesting and surprising follows the original 50's novel as much as a story taking place in 2006 can.


Great ending.
