We saw it Friday night.

I liked it.

Daniel Craig is a different sort of Bond, but he’s believable enough. There are little bits tying him to the old bond plotlines, although I thought the vintage Aston Martin was a little over the top. Admittedly, they did work it into the plot in as believable a way as they probably could.

I thought the plot revealing a bit of his childhood was a good storyline, and the bit with Eve (I won’t reveal her last name for those who haven’t seen it) was also good.

Connery is my favorite, of course. I disliked Moore, especially the comedy they or he used, but I can still watch those Bond films. I didn’t even mind Dalton or Moore - each had a different take. The Bond character is complex enough that each actor can bring a different spin and still make it work, or at least they have so far.

If you have seen Casino Royale, Bond won the car in a poker game in the Bahamas just a few years ago. It is a perfectly acceptable prop in the movie, although the gadgets added like the ejector seat et. al were from Goldfinger.
