• Daniel Craig is definitely a Bond for the ladies
• ‘Ard as, on the outside, but soft as on the inside
• Similar to his character XXXX in Layer Cake, or Dennis Waterman’s character Terry in that British gangster series “Minder”. At some points he actually reminded me of Bruce Willis in DieHard!
• Pecs similar to mine… if seen in certain light lah
• Still cannot beat Sean Connery in my book

Highlights:

• Vertigo inducing chase in Madagascarian construction site
• The sarcastic exchange when he first meets Vesper Lynd (ooo ladies love it don’t they?)
• The “Stephanie Broadchest” line made me chuckle
• The poker game was intriguing but still can’t figure out Texas Hold’em Poker
• The scenery was gorgeous esp. Bahamas and Montenegro… WOW

Lowlights:

• The Pout.. gets annoying after a while
• Bit slow esp. the bits where he’s playing lovey dovey with Vespa. Felt like I was watching Gone with the Wind at one stage… The ladies must’ve loved it
• What happened to all the gadgets?? Feels kind of weird to not have all those gadgets. The Aston Martin DBS was sweet though.
• At one stage I thought I was watching an episode of House when Bond administers Digitalis to himself and tried to defibrillate himself
• The female co-star was not my type. Apparently Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron were strongly considered for the role. Give me Halle Berry any day! Ok if must be English, then Kiera Knightley will do nicely fanks!

Emma refers to a ball breaking sequence in the film in her review… well it definitely gives new meaning to the word “nut-cracker”

My rating: 7 out of 10 (minus 1 for lack of gadgets, minus 1 for leading lady, and minus 1 for the gone with the wind stuff.. urrghhh if I wanna watch love story I’ll watch Pride and Prejudice)

Here’s a parting thought… Wonder what it’d be like if the next bond movie was directed by Quentin Tarantino? Sweeet!
